It's to make your lungs look pretty so that your autopsist has a nice surprise, Machi stated matter-of-factly, an amused glimmer in his opaline eyes.

We've already got enough eccentric characters around here without adding glittery lungs to the mix, he wiped the last of the makeup from Rooke's nose, shooting Legend a look.

I think you're done now. You look stunning, he smiled, giving the boy an affectionate, if not unintentionally condescending, pat on the head. Come on, dear, are you ready to show the Pharaoh your new look?
