[Quietly murmured, with a little grin, in response to that I talk a lot-- but then Giorno is starting, and this is honestly interesting. And when Giorno finishes, he nods in approval. He must have seen him with that lipcolor on before, but he's never really seen it before-- and it does look good, in a way that Jotaro's peach-orange hadn't.]
And it doesn't feel-- I don't know-- like it'd get on your teeth or glass or whatever?
[This time it doesn't bother him. He understands Polnareff's language a little better, he thinks — that and Fugo's arrival has left him serene, all the jagged edges of him momentarily smoothed out and filled in. He just smiles, shrugs a little.]
I like it. I like . . . well. I try different things, like I said, but bright colors are fun sometimes. Here—
[He pulls out a gold eyeliner that more or less matches. This is quick work, too, but not quite as quick; his movements are steady and concentrated. When he's done, he blinks a few times and reaches for the mascara. The end result, a few moments later, is essentially his features highlighted in gold, accented with enough black to be noticeable.]
It's not about using a lot, it's about being purposeful with it, I suppose. At least for me.
[He really isn't contributing much to this conversation, he thinks, but it's not like he knows much about it. Sports, why doesn't anyone ever talk about sports in this house? He could talk for hours about that.
Anyway. It does look good-- gold looks good on him, and there's probably some symbolic shit in that. Something about him being don-- yeah, no, definitely some symbolism going on there, but in the much more literal sense, gold really does just look good on him. Polnareff offers half a grin, eyes flicking up and down his face.]
Looks good. I dunno how you do it so quick, it took us ages with the damn eyeliner. Do you do the same thing for your nails? I mean, all-- color-coordinated?
It's just because I have practice. I don't like to do anything unless I'm good at it, so I practiced until I thought my hand was steady enough before going out with it.
[He blinks rapidly a few times until the mascara dries, then grins at Polnareff and wiggles his fingers. The nails are dark blue.]
Sometimes. But nail polish lasts a lot longer than lipstick or eyeliner, so it doesn't always match. Usually I just sort of stick to a similar palette, but — it's not that serious.

it was READY
[You'd look good in reds, he doesn't say.]
But if you're worried about it, all you do is press your lips down on a napkin to get the excess off.
no subject
[More a noise than a real word, and he makes a mental note to relay that bit of information back to Jotaro.]
I like it. On you, I mean-- I see what you mean about . . . I don't know. Drawing attention.
[It's like the skirts all over again: he means the compliment, but he doesn't have the knowledge or the vocabulary to articulate what it is he likes.]
