Have you ever painted your nails?

@doppo-poetess

yes once but i chewed it off and adam got really mad so i haven’t ever done it. why?

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(shrug) I was going to do mine today and I thought it would be fun to do it together. I've heard it's a common mother-daughter activity.

[garden-of-edin]

m— okay. i bite my nails too much, but if it’ll make you happy, i’ll do it with you.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

You don't have to. Even if you were just keeping me company, I would be happy.

[garden-of-edin]

oh, no, it sounds fun! it just. probably won’t last long on me.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

That's alright. (goes to get her kit) What colours are you thinking?

[garden-of-edin]

[ she shrugs. ]

whatever you’re thinking. then we can match! and maybe i’ll be motivated to not bite my nails.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(ruffles her hair) Does blue work? Or maybe pink?

[garden-of-edin]

whatever you want.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(starts prepping the area) I want to do what you want.

[garden-of-edin]

unfortunately i want to do what you want to do. we’re at a standstill.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(small laugh) Okay, then... Why don't you close your eyes and choose one randomly?

[garden-of-edin]

mmmm…. no i’m scared.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Scared of what, hon?

[garden-of-edin]

what if i pick a really ugly color. like then i have to blow up and die.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(plays with her hair) You won't blow up. You can just choose again.

[garden-of-edin]

no i’ll die. on the spot.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

I pinky promise you're not.

[garden-of-edin]

mmmm. you close your eyes and pick.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Hm. If you insist. (closes her eyes and picks out a bright yellow)

[garden-of-edin]

hm.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Do you want me to choose again?

[garden-of-edin]

no, it’s- i mean like it wouldn’t be my first choice but it kind of reminds me of you so it’s okay.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Alright. Give me your hands.

[garden-of-edin]

kaykay.

[ she holds out her hands. good LORD she bites her nails a lot. they are not very pretty. ]

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(stop shes so me </3 kunikida puts on a thin layer of polish, before setting it aside) Would you like to do mine?

[garden-of-edin]

…i’ve never painted nails, i don’t think…

[doppo-poetess-moved]

That's quite alright. You can learn, now.

[garden-of-edin]

[ she goes to reach for the polish, then retracts her hand. ]

…you do it.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(frown) You sure? I wanted you to paint mine.

[garden-of-edin]

but- i’ll mess it up.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Maybe. But I'll love it no matter what.

[garden-of-edin]

[ she just blinks. ]

are you sure?

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Positive, baby.

[garden-of-edin]

….okay.

[ there’s a slight tremble in her hands as she picks up the nail polish and gets to work. ]

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(watches her work) You're doing wonderful, hon.

[garden-of-edin]

[ she’s not TERRIBLE at it, but she’s definitely getting nail polish on kunikida’s cuticles and the side of her fingers. ]

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(... thats me i fear.... but she continues to encourage her!)

[garden-of-edin]

[ eventually she finishes! her hands never stopped shaking but kunikida’s nails actually look kind of good! ]

….oh no.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

What's wrong?

[garden-of-edin]

i messed it up. it’s awful.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Oh, baby, no, you did wonderful! These pieces on the side are super easy to fix, okay? I just peel them off.

[garden-of-edin]

[ there’s a very long pause before she lets out a little sniffle. ]

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(very carefully hugs her) I love them, Edin, I promise.

[garden-of-edin]

[ she leans into kunikida. ]

are you sure?

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Absolutely.

[garden-of-edin]

…okay.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(head kiss) Can I do the second coat on your nails now?

[garden-of-edin]

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(plays with her hair) You won't blow up. You can just choose again.

[garden-of-edin]

no i’ll die. on the spot.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

I pinky promise you're not.

[garden-of-edin]

mmmm. you close your eyes and pick.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Hm. If you insist. (closes her eyes and picks out a bright yellow)

[garden-of-edin]

hm.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Do you want me to choose again?

[garden-of-edin]

no, it’s- i mean like it wouldn’t be my first choice but it kind of reminds me of you so it’s okay.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Alright. Give me your hands.

[garden-of-edin]

kaykay.

[ she holds out her hands. good LORD she bites her nails a lot. they are not very pretty. ]

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(stop shes so me </3 kunikida puts on a thin layer of polish, before setting it aside) Would you like to do mine?

[garden-of-edin]

…i’ve never painted nails, i don’t think…

[doppo-poetess-moved]

That's quite alright. You can learn, now.

[garden-of-edin]

[ she goes to reach for the polish, then retracts her hand. ]

…you do it.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(frown) You sure? I wanted you to paint mine.

[garden-of-edin]

but- i’ll mess it up.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Maybe. But I'll love it no matter what.

[garden-of-edin]

[ she just blinks. ]

are you sure?

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Positive, baby.

[garden-of-edin]

….okay.

[ there’s a slight tremble in her hands as she picks up the nail polish and gets to work. ]

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(watches her work) You're doing wonderful, hon.

[garden-of-edin]

Have you ever painted your nails?

@doppo-poetess

yes once but i chewed it off and adam got really mad so i haven’t ever done it. why?

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(shrug) I was going to do mine today and I thought it would be fun to do it together. I've heard it's a common mother-daughter activity.

[garden-of-edin]

m— okay. i bite my nails too much, but if it’ll make you happy, i’ll do it with you.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

You don't have to. Even if you were just keeping me company, I would be happy.

[garden-of-edin]

oh, no, it sounds fun! it just. probably won’t last long on me.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

That's alright. (goes to get her kit) What colours are you thinking?

[garden-of-edin]

[ she shrugs. ]

whatever you’re thinking. then we can match! and maybe i’ll be motivated to not bite my nails.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(ruffles her hair) Does blue work? Or maybe pink?

[garden-of-edin]

whatever you want.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(starts prepping the area) I want to do what you want.

[garden-of-edin]

unfortunately i want to do what you want to do. we’re at a standstill.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(small laugh) Okay, then... Why don't you close your eyes and choose one randomly?

[garden-of-edin]

mmmm…. no i’m scared.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

Scared of what, hon?

[garden-of-edin]

what if i pick a really ugly color. like then i have to blow up and die.

[doppo-poetess-moved]

(plays with her hair) You won't blow up. You can just choose again.
