dark-water-berthier:

It wasn’t going to be a busy day at the shop, so she didn’t need to much help. She even told Koan she didn’t need to come at all today. 

Berthier was getting pretty good at managing the shop. Calaveras still took care for most part but her resposibilities were bigger now. She really enjoyed it. It kept her mind off how angry she was at Saphir. 

She went inside the stock room to unpack some boxes one of her sisters or workers had forgotten to unpack.It wasn’t urgent but she liked to get things done quickly. Hearing someone’s voice she figured it was more important to care for the patron first.

“Hi, welcome to our shop.” She smiled with her strawberry colored lips and her perfectly white teeth. Berthier was a classic beauty. Her eyes were big and blue, her hair fair and wavy and her skin pale and soft. She wore a beautiful dress with a tag on it with her name.

“How can I help you?” She asked curiously examining the woman in front of her. It wasn’t uncommon to have people coming to the shop hiding their faces, but she hoped she could make her leave the store with a bright smile in her face.

Beryl walked closer to the counter trying to walk as elegantly as she could even though her legs felt very weak. She smiled at the woman and she felt overwhelmed by her beauty. Her skin was flawless, her eyes were beautiful and her smile was precious. Beryl felt so jealous in that moment, she knew she looked horrible and now she felt even worse being next to this young woman.

She took a deep breath and smiled back. “Hello, I was hoping you could help me…” She started saying unsure of how to continue. “Well, I’ve been…sick for some time and my looks have gotten , let’s say deteriorated.” She felt so embarrassed saying that out loud and admitting it to someone. “I was hoping I could get new foundations and some other make up supplies.”
