"Kuvira, will you do my makeup?" little Opal asked innocently.

Kuvira smiled at her, confused by the request but also entertained. She knelt down so she was at eye level with the little girl. "Sorry, Opal, but I don't wear makeup. I don't have any," she said.

"That's ok," Opal said with a smile. "I know where Mommy keeps hers. Come on." She took Kuvira's hand, pulling her toward Su's bedroom. Kuvira looked back the way they had come with a worried expression.

"Opal, I don't think we should do this," Kuvira said, continuing to glance back to make sure the matriarch wasn't following. "We shouldn't take your mom's things."

Opal shook her head. "Mommy won't care, and she's helping Wing and Wei with their bending anyway. That always takes hours so she won't catch us. And Daddy is too busy designing another new building with Baatar. Come on! Let's have some fun!"

Kuvira sighed. There was no convincing the little girl otherwise. And she was right: no one was around. Kuvira had seen the matriarch join the boys outside ten minutes before and Baatar wouldn't be seen until dinner at the earliest. She might as well entertain Opal.

Opal led Kuvira through her parents' room and into their bathroom, which could have easily been the size of a bedroom in itself. Like every other part of the house, it was pristine with every metal surface sparkling. Opal let go of Kuvira's hand, leaving her to gape at the craftsmanship of the metal room. Su and Baatar really didn't mess around when it came to architecture especially in their own room.

"Here it is!" Opal announced, pulling open a drawer toward the top of the counter. She reached in while standing on her tiptoes and pulled out small silver bag. She shook it softly, and Kuvira could hear the various contents bounce against each other.

Opal giggled, plopping on the ground and opening the bag. Kuvira sat across from her, watching as the little girl began to unpack the bag. It seemed Su had no shortage of cosmetic products, some of which were not even opened as Opal lined them up next to each other neatly so they could see everything.

"Mommy gets a lot of these as gifts. She says she doesn't use a lot of them," Opal explained. "They all look so pretty!" And she was right. The bottles were shiny and different colors, shapes, and sizes.

They began to try different products on their faces, smearing random lotions and perfumes on their skin. Kuvira tried her best to apply the prettiest makeup to Opal but didn't think she was doing a good job. She wasn't much of an artist. Still, she had to admit she was having fun. She had even forgotten her worries of being caught by Su. Opal had even swept her hair to the sides and tried to make it look like her mother's. It made Kuvira laugh out loud to see the little girl trying to act so much older.

"What are you girls up to?" a voice asked from the doorway a while later.

Kuvira was mortified to find Su standing there, hands on her hips. She had meant to check that the matriarch was still training but had lost herself in the fun with Opal. "I'm so sorry," Kuvira said quickly. "I should have known better. I…"

Su came into the room, sitting down in front of the girls. She grabbed the bag, rummaging through it until she found a cloth. She gestured for Kuvira to come closer to her, and began rubbing the mess of the makeup from her face. When she was done, she set down the cloth and grabbed a bottle of unidentified makeup from the floor.

"Let me show you how to do it," Su said with a smile. "I don't want you two looking like clowns." She paused and continued with a frown, "But don't let your father see. You two are too young to be wearing makeup."

"Ok, Mommy!" Opal said with glee.

Kuvira smiled and nodded, enjoying the attention from Su. That afternoon was one of her favorites with her guardian.
