A/N prompt 'Laura/Bill mirror'


It's almost funny she thinks, but he spends more time in front of a mirror then she does.

When he brushes his teeth (a spectacle she's sure she could sell tickets to) and when he shaves. The fact that those two things put him in front of a mirror more often than her isn't surprising. She herself is more inclined to wander out of the head, toothbrush sticking out of mouth, in order to begin digging through the day's reports. (he's told her to stop after finding a bit of foam on his desk- she hasn't)

As for the shaving, well- if she had any hair left she isn't sure she'd been too keen on removing it. (she'd never thought she'd miss prickly legs) Besides, when she had hair she could be brushing it while getting the morning report from her aide.

There is, also- of course, another reason why Bill spends more time with his reflection. He can stand to look at himself. The thin plate of glass in the head shows a man, though aged, that is still him. She isn't quite so fond of who it shows her to be.

So she ignores it in favor of something much better. (more kind, less real- hopefully more honest)

She doesn't enter the head, just stands in the doorway.

"How do I look?"

"Beautiful."
