Magenta demanded; her voice filled with a certain authority she'd only ever heard Frank use. Riff Raff, concerned by his sister's tone, made his way over to her wearily. The first thing Magenta noticed at the sight of her brother was his abnormally sharp cheekbones. His eyes had taken to a piercing shade of cyan. At one point, she would have even considered him handsome. Her disposition seemed to disregard her. She had kissed him. She had even felt a twinge of pity for him, at one time.
