Twilight shimmied in the chair, and opened her mouth to speak. Before she could, Rarity tutted her and gently poked at the alicorn's nose.

"No no, darling, I shan't hear it," Rarity doted. She yanked out a nearby desk drawer and plucked out a series of brushes and paints, while making sure her friend stayed still, as to not wrinkle the fabric of her new gorgeous dress. "You have been so stressed lately, Twilight; why, if you'll forgive me for saying it, you look like you haven't slept in days!"

Twilight Sparkle only sighed and flicked an ear. "That's because I haven't. I guess I just got so caught up in my research that I haven't even thought about myself."

Rarity tutted again, twice sharply through her teeth, and then fitfully turned about her Boutique. Drawers were yanked open and rummaged through, papers and fabric were tossed to the side, hefty kits of beauty care products were levitated from their places. The unicorn took a moment to daintily blow the dust from the tops of some of the boxes which were stored in the back of her collection, and then Twilight had a makeup brush pointed at her snout.

"So!" Rarity said, twirling the end of the brush into Twilight's cheek. "We simply have to change that. Now, Twilight, I have a job for you: you sit there, relax, and be an absolutely gorgeous canvas!"

Twilight stared at her... then rolled her eyes... then smiled. Relaxed, if only slightly. "I think I would like that, Rarity."
