let the music play - nail painting

[nemhain.]

Nemhain felt an odd sense of anxiety settle in her chest as Sanzu came bouncing up to her, mainly because of the huge size difference between the two of them. Even though she was carefully holding her body in such a way that it would hopefully prove not to be an issue, all manner of awful scenarios flashed through Nem's brain as she stood there. She could fall forward and crush Sanzu, or her claws could accidentally pierce the poor little dragon's scales... just that was enough to make her hold as still as a stone statue, only moving when she had to shift her other leg forward to be painted. She knew Rin would definitely be able to feel the worry rolling off of her in waves, but hopefully the magna would be able to see where she was coming from and see that it was a relatively small issue, and not anything to freak out over. Nem was doing far more than enough of that for the both of them, after all. Not to mention that Rin didn't need yet another thing on her plate at the moment, no matter how small. Thankfully, it seemed as though things went off without a hitch, since soon enough Sanzu was bouncing away from Nemhain's huge talons, her attention now focused on Lemy. The fenghuang watched Lemy for a long moment as Sanzu worked dutifully at his claws, a faint sense of pity working its way into her chest. He really did enjoy being childish, didn't he? Not even bothering to meet either of their gazes.

Realizing with a start that she hadn't yet answered Sanzu's question about the end result, Nem tore her gaze away from Lemy and let it fall down on her freshly painted talons, tilting her head curiously to one side. The job was a little messy, with paint slightly creeping up and over the rough skin of her long folded legs, but it fit decently enough with the rest of her. Besides, it was practically impossible for any color to truly clash with her, considering she had such an odd smattering of colors all over her already. If anything was going to clash, it was already doing so on her feathers. Shifting around a little but, she chirped out praise to Sanzu, resisting the urge to chuckle when she saw the look on Rin's face, the magna obviously wanting to comment herself but resisting, "Pink is a very good color for me, Lady Sanzu. Thank you very much for choosing something so appropriate." She then sat back a little bit on her legs, glancing again towards Rin before Sanzu was bouncing around with a happy flourish, evidently quite eager to get to work on a second coat, if her rhythmic bouncing was anything to go by. A deep laugh echoed through Nem's chest, and she nodded along with Rin, "Yes, if you would like to do a second coat, I would also be happy to remain still as your model for a little longer."
