Pretty nails are pretty!

(giggles) My Papa's nails are that color now. Silly thing.

I want my nails painted!

I can totally paint your nails! What color do you want?

Do you have something really bright and shiny?!

How about this?

oooh pretty!

(beams) Lemme see your hands? I'll start painting.

(offers right hand) At least this one isn't scratched up.

(smiles softly, opes up the turquoise and starts painting) How come your other hand's scratched up?

(blinks) because of the experiments.

(tilts head, looks up at her) Experiments?

(nods) It's to make my blood clean.

(finishes up the first turquoise coatc, starts on the second) What's wrong with your blood?

(stares at it) It's so pretty. I have a disease. But don't worry, you can't catch it. Unless you are a vampire or something.

(nods, small giggle) I'm not a vampire, no worries. I'm a seamstress.

(wide eyes) I've never met a seamstress before!
