"Those are easy enough to remedy," Mirua said, going back into the main boutique.  She came back not two minutes later, carrying a mirror, a curved horn hairband, and several different gold makeups.  She set the mirror up on the table and turned on the lights, and began to apply different layers of the gold makeup to her face.

"Would you do me a favor?" she asked Rorin, indicating one of the things of golden makeup, and the hairband.  "That makeup is a duplicate of one I grabbed.  Would you dust the hairband with it, make the horns gold?"
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

"Sure," Rorin said, taking the horns and the makeup.  It wasn't long before both Mirua and Rorin were done; Mirua had painted a pattern of scales in the general shape of a mask around her eyes.  In some areas, the "scales" were even lifting up away from her skin, but they remained firmly in place.

"You've had practice with this, too," Rorin said, and Mirua smiled.

"I had a class or five on how to apply different types of makeup," Mirua said with a wink.  She placed the headband in place, and looked at herself in the mirror.  "Well, shall we rejoin the festivities?"

"Let's," Rorin said, this time opening the doors for Mirua.  She walked through both of them and stopped to lock the door up, putting up the sign that she was out celebrating the festival.

Now that she was in costume, a lot more heads were turning.  There were some whispers here and there about her costume, but Mirua just smiled as they went to the different stalls, looking for some food to enjoy.

"So many different things to try," Mirua said, her eyes wide.

"That there are," Rorin said, looking around as well.  "I don't even know where to start..."

"Well, let's just find something that makes our mouths absolutely water," Mirua said.  "And then, we'll get it, and then we'll take a look at what the rest of the festival has to offer... and maybe hunt down Mother and Mama and ask them how they got the fabric into my store.  I didn't give them a key to the store..."

"I think I can name three people they would've gone to if they needed a key," Rorin said, and Mirua sighed as she nodded.

"So, who's your money on?  Skokara, Aetlina, or Eodeva?" Mirua asked, scrolling through her phone.

"Aetlina.  She's gonna be your maid of honor at the wedding, after all," Rorin said, and Mirua nodded as she moved to press the "Call" button, only to have her phone start ringing.

"And, sure enough..." Mirua said, hitting the "Answer" button.

"Rua!  Are you at the festival?" Aetlina's voice came through Mirua's phone.

"Lina!  Did you let my mothers into the store?" Mirua asked, and Aetlina breathed a curse under her breath.

"They said they wouldn't tell!" she said.  Mirua laughed triumphantly.

"They didn't," she said.  "I asked Rorin who would be the most likely to loan Mother and Mama their key out of you, Skokara, and Eodeva, and he said you, since you are my maid of honor."

"...so I just gave myself up," Aetlina said.  "You're too good at that."

"But to answer your question, yes, I'm at the festival.  I'm wearing the dress I made out of the fabric you helped Mother and Mama get into the store," she said, and she could hear Aetlina squeal.

"The girls and I will be there!  I wanna see what you made!" she said, and Mirua chuckled as she looked down.

"Please tell me this wasn't some sort of plot."

"What, a plot to get you and Rorin out to the festival and showcase your wizardry with sewing and makeup?
 No, Eodeva, Skokara, and I wouldn't do that!"
Aetlina said.

"But I bet you, Skokara, Eodeva, Rinendra, Arela, and Vaissa would," Mirua said, and Rorin chuckled as he heard Aetlina curse.

"Seriously!  You've gotta stop pinning me into incriminating myself and the girls!  It's no fun when we can't pull it off on you," she said, the pout in her voice evident.
