"Dodo, I'm still having difficulties with this piece. I wanted to write something more light, you know? It seems too, er... too maladroit." Genevieve nervously twirled her hair, letting herself indulge in this little bad habit for just a moment. "I've been so frustrated over it, I've felt sick for days."

[He rubs her back soothingly as he listens to her.] It is okay, I understand. I am sure there must be a way to, ah, the lack of a better word, “get along” with her?

I hope so eventually. No one else will hire me now, and I refuse to give up because of the likes of her. I could do without seeing her face again, though...

[she walks over and buries her face in Donovan's shoulder] You know who is being a you know what. Wishing she would leave is cruel, though, and wishing I could show her what for would only end in disaster. I need help with her.

Of course I have make-up remover. I promise not to get any in your eyes, don’t you worry, Genny! Mix-matched eyeshadow? Non, non, you don’t have to worry about that either.

I seemed to have, ah... /misplaced/ all my makeup. Instead, er, different kinds were left where mine should have been. I have a serious request for you, Genevieve-- [puppy dog eyes and smile] May I practice using this makeup on you, please?

You had me scared, Dodo, I was worried!

I guess you could, as long as you don’t get any in my eyes, and you have makeup remover when you’re all done. I’ve walked around with mismatched eyeshadow and oddly-colored lipstick one too many times for comfort.

Genny, I have a favor to ask of you--! [Looks distressed.]

What is it? You look worried, what’s wrong?

Genevieve, is there something wrong, ma petite soeur?

Just a bit, but it has nothing to do with you, I promise. It was just a bit of, well, drama. Pardon the pun.
