Lagola shakily sat down across from her with Kendall following suit by her side. For a moment, she just stared at the makeup kit, not really sure what any of these paints and powders were for and not sure if she wanted any of them on her. She cast a quick glance at Kendall, who simply chuckled and said, "It's okay! Have fun with it!"
With a slight nod, Lagola looked through the kit again, reaching up every so once in a while simply with the intent of studying something, only to retract her sleeve-covered hand. Eventually she mumbled, "Um... M-Maybe... we could... d-do something... bronze?"
Hey, stick with what you know, right?

"Nothing wrong with loving your natural color," Almira chirped. "The bronze stuff should be labeled as such. Hang on, let me get them..."
Almira reached over and felt around for the objects in question, the silver ring on her finger clearly visible. "I have eyeliner, lipstick- though with the teeth you've got I'd go motherfuckin' light on that- and nail polish. Oh, and facepaint, if you're interested in that stuff."
The older troll set each item down, for Lagola to see. "The basics and all. A little bit does go a long way."

Lagola lifted a hand to her mouth and awkwardly pursed her lips at the mention of her buck teeth. Brushing that aside, though, she continued to murmur, "M-Maybe let's not do the face paint... Uh... N-Nails are... alright, I guess..."

"Give me your hand, then," Almira said, drawing out files and some form of small cutter from a compartment on the box. She took one of Lagola's hands, and gave a very slight frown.
"Not bad, but we can do better. I'm going to start filing your nails to get them nice and even, okay? Let me know if it motherfuckin' hurts, okay? In the meantime, feel free to chat about any designs you may want."
With that, Almira started filing Lagola's nails.

Lagola wordlessly rolled her sleeve up and placed her hand on the table. She cringed and stifled a squeak when Almira started filing her nails, the sensation unfamiliar and unpleasant. Then she looked up at Kendall with uncertainty, earning an gentle and encouraging grin in response.
She didn't really speak as the manicure proceeded, awkwardly looking back and forth between Almira and Kendall. Knowing that Lagola was unlikely to strike up a conversation, Kendall opted to do it for her. "So! How long have you been on the island? They way you spoke earlier, it seemed like you've only just arrived."

"Well," Almira said, moving into the second finger, "I guess I've motherfucking been here for only a few minutes. But it's good. In fact it's more than motherfucking good."
The purple troll lightened her filing, seemingly noting Lagola's discomfort. "Me and my righteous friends and a cunt just fell into some random-ass portals. But it's okay. We survived and won an impossible session. We can motherfucking handle a few rogue portals."

Kendall's grin briefly turned awkward, simply because Almira's language was pretty unsavory, not that it wasn't something he was used to. "Well, it's good to know you've made it here safely and are already adapting. Once you get a feel for the island, it's quite a wonderful place to be!"
Lagola just nodded, keeping still and tense as Almira filed her nails.

"Any world with a good motherfucking mall in it is fine by me," Almira replied. "And I'm sure Kim would feel the same if she were here. Oh, they're all big kids," she added. "I'm sure they can adapt just as well as I did."
She shifted to the third finger. "Lagola, was it? Have you decided on just plain bronze or would you like me to add a pattern?"

"Glad to hear," Kendall cheerfully offered. "Hopefully you'll be reunited with your friends in due time!"
"Oh, um..." Lagola blankly looked down at her hand, having not given her options much thought. "I-I'm fine with... plain, but... i-if you wanna... I dunno..."

"Ah yes, my friends and the cunt. I should probably try to hook back up with them later," Almira said. "But one of them to be totally motherfucking honest deserves to be motherfucking burning in motherfucking hell."
Before her tone could get too dark, Almira shook her head. "Well, if it wouldn't be a big motherfucking issue, I could show you what they all look like, maybe trade Trollians with Lagola... Oh! Maybe there's someone close to you?"

Kendall's awkward smile resurfaced, though he said nothing. Almira had come from a very intense situation. Her emotional state was understandable.
"Someone... close?" Lagola looked up at Almira in confusion, not really understanding what she was insinuating. Furthermore, exchanging trolltags was one thing, but... she was really starting to worry what would happen if she got involved with trolls again, let alone trolls she had never met. She had enough bad experiences with her own team.

"Oh, nothing big. I'll just show you what they all look like and which one to kill on sight and you can just message me if you see any of them," Almira replied with a small chuckle. "But if you see the cunt feel free to murder them."
Resuming filing Lagola's nails, Almira inquired, "Is there anyone, present or past, who you feel such motherfucking strong feelings for?"

"U-Um..." Lagola's cheeks turned a deep brown again, her eyes anxiously looking for anything to stare at besides Kendall. She had always been too soft to truly harbor any black sentiments, even towards those she didn't necessarily like. Generally, she was just afraid of them. ...Well, really, she was just afraid of most people.
"N-Not... really... I-I haven't thought much about... b-black feelings..." She partially hid her face with her other sleeve. "I-I guess I... c-can think of one person... in, um... in a... red way..."
Kendall had to chuckle a little and look away, knowing full well that she was talking about him.

"Oh?" Almira paused her filing to look at Lagola. "Got a little motherfucking red crush, eh? That's like..."
She resumed her filing. "Totally motherfucking adorbs. So, spill the beans! Who's the lucky target?"
Almira's own ring glinted slightly.

Lagola didn't speak, sinking slightly with embarrassment. She really didn't want to elaborate, especially since he was right there.
Kendall looked up at Almira again, smiling politely and clearing his throat. This only made Lagola even more anxious. Of course Kendall knew. Even if he wasn't precognitive, she was just so obvious that anyone could've figured it out.
