Summary
Vil holds up his right hand, glaring at it. "In taking too long to perfect the eyeshadow, I overexerted my hand. I can't use it without it hurting, and unfortunately I am not adept enough with my left to put complicated makeup on."
Concern flashes in Rook's eyes, and that stirs conflict in Vil. There is bitterness, because Rook cares only that a beautiful thing has been ruined; there is hope, because if Rook is honest with his feelings, surely he'd also be with this gesture.
"May I see?" Rook asks, with the politeness a knight would proffer a royal.
Vil hesitates. It's one thing for Rook to know of his flaws, but that he could see them tightens his jaw.
