[the layers take time, but Helena is patient, steady. she waits because it's the simplest thing, cozy and comfortable where they are. the music is sweet, she feels no urgency to do this or that, and it means that time flows by in the most unhurried fashion.

with the stickers, she feels a new sensation, and she's delighted, trying to not wiggle where she is.]

Is this where we put on the decorations? Oh, you can just squeeze my hand to say - my left for yes, right for no.

( and instantly, the left hand gets a squeeze! once nene lets go, it's to focus wholly on applying each piece carefully. a curve of lace in the corner, a gem or butterfly here... each finger gets maybe two pieces each, so as to not clutter her nails, but they're light as any sticker would be. the most cumbersome might be the tiny rhinestones, really, and even those are mere bumps in the end.

this takes more time, because choosing where to apply everything is hard- she wants it to look and feel nice, for helena to get to show off and have fun running her finger tips over her nails...

once the first hand is done, nene taps it lightly so helena can check for herself. the rhinestones and lace are raised, the butterflies with subtle indents. does she like it so far? )

[decrypter]

[she feels it so gently, not wanting to displace anything, but the grin that splits her face says almost more than enough. tracing the shape of the butterflies, the lace, and the stones that offer brand new texture. she's delighted, and it's obvious.]

Oh, Nene, it's beautiful.

[because anything that makes her this happy is beautiful - can't be otherwise, in her world.]

( though nene's smile is small, it radiates warmth and delight- it worked. gently, she reaches over to squeeze helena's hands again- you're welcome, just for you, i'll do this any time- before working on helena's other hand. she doesn't repeat any design, but she tries to keep things cohesive- or as cohesive as lace, butterflies and rhinestones can be. it's diligent, quiet work.

the main signal that she's done, other than the fact that nene has let go of helena's fingers, is the fact that the music stops and the automated voice takes its place eventually. )

if you ever want something like this again, i'll happily do it
i'm really glad that you can feel it all. and just so you know, the base color matches your hat!
