capeandcowl take two, maybe a new face would help [Canon is the Gemma Doyle trilogy]

[tarnishes]

How did that song go? There is no rest for the wicked?

And what's wrong with my face? How can't I be enough like a model enough already?

Ignore her, Pip. She's jealous of your beauty, that's why she wants to change your face. It's really quite obvious.

[tarnishes]

Oh, Fee, she's saying things like "Gemma has a model face" and "Felicity surely has a model face too" and making a fuss about following a trend. Trends a okay to be followed, mind you, but I wonder if she's trying too hard.

[ Of course she is! ]

[glinting]

She wants you to be beautifully presented. I suppose she cannot be blamed for that.

[tarnishes]

I don't really understand, but if it means a higher beauty, I suppose I cannot complain.

She does seem awfully upset at the lack of generously chested brunettes. Apparently it's not a trend for "models", hmph.

[glinting]

Perhaps it is a sign, then. A sign that no one can truly match you.

How marvelous you must feel, knowing you cannot be fully captured.

[tarnishes]

Is it, isn't it? And it is troublesome, I think; if this magnificent me can't be truly portrayed, how can I finally meet you again? How can I deserve to be looked upon by you? Surely I would only be an eyesore to you...once again, it's troublesome, this prettiness.

Can't I be pretty just for you? Damn the entire world.

[glinting]

You're starting to sound like me, Pippa. I'm not sure that I like it.

Besides, if you're truly going to the City, you'll be all alone with Gemma and without me entirely.

[tarnishes]

Well I have heard you talking enough times and I wanted to sound deep.

[ Never mind she's blushing furiously and pretending to be offended now. ]

I'm sure Gemma and I will have a grand time by ourselves.
