perfectmatch | week three

Odile and Maya are taken to a nail salon. It's the exact same place Luka and Yi Sang went last week. Hopefully to good reviews?

Highlights

This place is lush.
Treat yo selves, it's faaaaancy.
They have tea sandwiches and spa water!

[ Well. They came back presentable, which is high marks where Yi Sang is concerned, so good reviews. Every place here is lush and it is never Odile's style, but-- ]

I suppose when one has the chance to spoil themselves, it would be terrible to turn it down.

[ Don't mind if she helps herself to a tea sandy... It's gonna be rough going back to her world. ]

While I can't say I've ever enjoyed a "manicure" before, I'm certain a young woman like you has. Somehow. Am I wrong?

[ She flashes her nails. Still crimson! ]

I usually have to be reminded to do it, but it's fun! Though a little distracting if you get something sparkly.

[ They should get sparkly ones. ]

Then clearly we should start there.

[ Why not have a little fun with it... Does it suit Odile? Not a bit, in her opinion. But... perhaps a little difference isn't so bad, when... ]

I'll let you choose the colors, Maya. Since you know what you're doing better than I.

[ Though they've got such good nailcare sessions before that!!!!!!!! ]

Well, do you want the same color overall or varying colors? You have to give me some direction here.

[ As they're directed to soak their hands. ]

[ A long, long pause, staring at their soaking mitts.

... ... ...

This is so-- ]

The same, I... suppose. Varying feels a little-- much, for me.

[ And it isn't like she'd know what colors they were anyway. Odile is finding that there's a-- muddling, where the warmer and cooler shades concern. Probably, she reflects, why there is but four words to describe the wheel as a whole. ]

That's fine! We can still work with that!

[ Maya is UNDAUNTED. ]

[ One of them has to be!!!! ]

I leave my hands in yours, then.

[ Since the activity doesn't matter for why Odile asked her out in the first place, mind turning over thoughts since the weekend. ]

... Have you any thoughts on Wei Wuxian's words? His hint to us.

I think it'd be faster to knock out either the male pairs or the female pairs first, and then focus on our male and female pairs. We did find one of our lady pairs already, after all, and the probabilities are less for the same-sex couples.

[ It'll still be a pain, though. ]

[ It's still a pain, though. ]

At least you are rather certain in your own. I, more than ever, find myself at a loss.

[ Plainly speaking. ]

What a troublesome game. I would've preferred a hint as to inter and outer teams, but who knows how difficult that would have made it -- either too easy, or just as hard.

Well, what do you think at least in terms of what group your match might be in?

[ Let's start there. ]

[ Hmmmm.

... ]

I do still feel as if it within my own, but that's merely based on how well I get along with them -- which, as we know, doesn't necessarily mean anything and truthfully should be thrown to the wayside. It's improbable that we each might find ours on the team opposite, though it has been such so far both in confidence and confirmed.

[ So the chances are more likely but, again, improbable to always be the case. ]

Truthfully, I would hardly mind if Edamura was my match in such a case. However, that would throw into question yourself and Aventurine, as well as Nicodème and Verso. So, unfortunately, we are ships passing in the night in that sense.

Well, nothing's set in stone. An answer's an answer in the end, and I'd rather have a right one than a guess.

But it's really not that simple, is it?

[ Even when Aventurine and Nico had picked who they had initially, the pining had been. Well. Palpable. Even to her. ]
