When: Wednesday afternoon
Rating: SFW

Bryony approached Hard Knutt with no small amount of trepidation. Her mother had insisted she take all of Wednesday off from work and report to Pineview Hall for an early lunch. Though it was her birthday, there had been no presents or cards, no excitement. Bryony had been too nervous to eat (which was good, as Iris would only have found some detail to rebuke her for) and Iris had been distracted, ordering her house-elves around to prepare for the evening's dance. Eventually, she'd shooed Bryony away as if she'd been overstaying her welcome, instructing her to visit Hard Knutt to 'get ready' for the dance.

Eager to escape her mother's company, Bryony had agreed - thinking she could escape quickly to the studio. Until Iris informed her she'd booked her in for a full afternoon of treatments. So, without really knowing what to expect, all instructions having been owled ahead, Bryony stepped through the doors and looked around for someone who looked as if they worked there.

"Good afternoon," she said politely as she approached a counter. "I have some appointments booked. They'll either be under Bryony or Iris Capper."

"It was fun," she replied with a fond smile. "Not that I lasted too long, a season and a half is all. There was a little incident..." She shrugged and continued her work.

Once the lighter coat was on, Gemma took out the next paints - some dark blues with sparkling spells woven into the ink. She started applying them, taking great care to make certain the ratio between the paler colour and the darker ones was constant across every nail. "Oh yes, otherwise the work would be damaged within minutes. It also saves having to wave one's fingers around trying to dry them because the charm dries at the same time."

With a few more strokes, the last finger was done. Gemma started casting the drying/protection spell, and then the strengthening spell afterward. "So, what do you think?"

Though she desperately wanted to ask more, Bryony held her tongue. Her mother was more than likely to contact Gemma at some point in the future, and might even come here for treatments herself if she approved of her work - Bryony wasn't going to risk an idle conversation revealing to Iris just how interested she still was in the sport. Instead of asking more questions, she watched as Gemma worked.

Once it all seemed to be finished, Bryony stretched her fingers out and smiled. "It's very pretty." And now that she knew she could keep it for a while without interfering with her work, it seemed less of a pointless indulgence.
