Title: Indulgences
Prompt: MPP #1 Colour
Rating: G
Summary: Rosethorn goes makeup shopping.
Notes: Also written and crossposted to FFN as part of my series of Lark/Crane/Rosethorn 5-sentence fics, Roll Away Your Stone. I guessed Lark's age.

Indulgences
Sandry had warned her it would be strange, but Rosethorn had not expected this. Lip colour alone came in six different shades; then there were eyelid tints ranging from blue to gold, creams to hide blemishes, and powders to darken or lighten skin. It seemed wasteful to spend time and coin on nobles' indulgences such as these... but if Lark did not feel beautiful at forty-six, Rosethorn would try to help, though she had told Lark in no uncertain terms that the laugh lines around her eyes and mouth gave her face character.
She chose a plum lip colour and a bluish eyelid tint that she thought would bring out Lark's beautiful brown eyes, and after much haggling turned to leave. A vial the scarlet of poppy caught her eye and she hesitated, wondering if Lark would appreciate it if she wore face-paint; Crane, she knew quite well, would think it unnecessary.
