ayano's theory of bruises - 9/19, 4:15PM

[kagepuro]

Ummmm

Is there anyone on here who’s like...good at make up that can help me...Like one of those instagram models or something...

I was clumsy enough to give myself a black eye, and I need to hide it from my parents so they don’t freak out or get the wrong idea…

[A picture of Ayano follows, purple and black underline her left eye--thankfully not particularly swollen. Even so, whatever she smashed into must have smashed into her pretty hard. She wears a weak, sheepish smile on her face despite the heavy bruise. If it weren't there, this would be a perfectly good Facebook profile picture, in fact.]

It’s not that bad, right? Silly me...
Maybe I should just do the emo hair thing...?

[It's okay - Anya at least asked the staff to let her know if they saw someone wandering around looking for her. That's kind of a concerning set of instructions when you're a rising idol, but Anya went for it anyway. It's why eventually someone spots Ayano and Anya's attention is nabbed, directing her to the young lady wandering the halls.

And Anya - probably wearing some sort of ridiculous costume for a photoshoot - doesn't hesitate to rush up to Ayano regardless, hands outreached to hold onto hers.]

Ayano...! Вот! Anya is here.

[kagepuro]

[Ayano takes Anya's hands, grinning. Her bangs are cleverly positioned over her left eye, obscuring the earlier injury.]

It's so good to see you!

I...[Now acknowledging Anya's outfit...]

Didn't realize you were a model...

[constellates]

[There's a brief little laugh there - ]

Ah... It is why Anya is busy sometimes. Photoshoots, dance practice, lessons...

[though she seems almost embarrassed to talk about it?? she's an idol but ssshhh, she's also still just Anya. she's getting used to it.]

Hеважно! Ah - nevermind that. Ayano is here to see me, yes? I am done for today, so we can go to dressing room and Anya will try to borrow makeup.

[THE STUFF OF THE PROS]

[kagepuro]

[She's far more beautiful in person than her profile picture lets on. Ayano shyly sidles up next to Anya, smiling.]

As long as I'm not too much trouble, this place seems...really serious!

[Playfully pokes Anya's shoulder.]

You're a big deal!

[constellates]

[a big deal.... anya giggles faintly at that, even as her cheeks warm up and she shakes her head.]

Ayano, teasing Anya already...?

[aaaaAAAA]

Mm - it is not like that. Or... I am still just starting in a way. But you are never too much trouble. Tоварищ! We are friends.

[kagepuro]

Grazie, Anya! [Ayano grins proudly of her remedial Italian. Yes, she's trying to show off that she has languages too! Ayano takes Anya's arm and gently hugs it.]

You're so impressive! And so good to me, even though we're new friends...

[constellates]

[You're welcome to take her arm - Anya will just lead Ayano back toward her dressing room.]

New friends...? Mm - I do not know if new or old matters. We will still get along, yes?

I do not know if I am... impressive? [With that gently rolling R but - ] I mean it when I say I will do my best for you.

Hадежный. So I hope you will rely on Anya when you need it. Is that okay to say?

[kagepuro]

Very okay! I'm relying on you right now, even...It's been a stressful day, so it's nice to be with my friend...

[Ayano is kind of constantly looking around, taking in the wonder of being in a studio like this.]

Wow, your own dressing room...

[constellates]

[It's temporary - her name's not on the door or anything - but it's definitely her own dressing room. There are a few costume changes on the rack as well as a vanity, but luckily there's still some makeup that's been left out...]

Bеликодушный. It is very nice of them to give me one...

Now Ayano does not need to worry about being trouble...? Are you okay? You are... stressed? Hurt?

[kagepuro]

I'm just a bit...shaken. It's been an entire day since it happened, so I'm okay, Anya.

[walks forward into a hug with Anya.]

I know I'm safe with you, so, it's okay...

[constellates]

[The hug is easy - Anya wraps her arms around the other girl and gives her a reassuring squeeze. This is what she needs when she's upset too. She understands... even if it hurts to know that something is making Ayano upset.]

You are...

Mm... говорящий? Sometimes... I think saying the unhappy things to someone who cares makes it easier? If you want... Anya is not good at talking, but I will listen.

Ayano being shaken... It is печальный. Not a happy thing. I am sorry. It is gone now...
