"It's lovely how he comes up with such generous ideas."

"The man's a genius" A nod

Okay.. he may have overplayed his hand there.

She'll let him have it. If he's still not claiming the credit, she's happy to let him be modest.

They arrive at a booth from Earth Runes with all sorts of gemstones and steam tech novelies await, not all of them dirty thank you

Sylvi appreciates the gemstones.

And, ah, pretends not to notice the dirtier tech.

As someone who works online and knows fashion and make up, she sees one item that catches her attention. A kind of diamond dust make up, probably cubit Z but still.... it has a texture and look that's obviously NOT glitter

"You're free to use the sample to see if you furking like it, " The nocker says "Which you should because I busted my ass to get the mixture perfect"

Puzzled, she investigates. "What is it? I know glitter, but this is...different?'

"It's like make up, for a diamond mask effect, the granuales are meant to hold their intergrity better though. I also have emerald, ruby, saphphire...out of topaz"

She takes the sampler and finds a mirror, and applies a bit to her right eyelid.

Okay, this should irritate and feel TOO grainy, but it doesn't

And it looks well, great

"The magic of the alchemy means the texture is not irritating" The girl explains with pride "Hey, you applied it really well. I always have to dab"

"I have a little experience, but this is amazing. It's almost silky." She matches it on the other eyelid, then turns to show Colton. What do you think?

"I think you look like a Rock star" He admires

A dubious expression. "That could be good or bad. I've seen some pretty hideous rock-star makeup."

"Good rock star" he assures "Sexy glamourous rock star, not trying too hard rock star"

"You look great. You should buy like three furking jars" The nocker assures

A smile to Colton, then she considers. "Well, how much?"

The haggling begins. . and Hearth trained, Sylvi won't be paying as much as the vendor hoped. It turns into a challenge for both, and while there's only so down Sylvi can take it, she does get an extra jar on top of it

Victorious, she pays a very reasonable price for her prize!

Thus inspired, she begins her rampage through the bargain hunting options. There are all kids of hunts, all kind of wars, and in this domain, she's an apex predator. Her boyffriend can only gape in Amazement and yes delight that she enjoys
