[that's what makes Lina look away, but only briefly, a flicker of her gaze down between them before she's looking at her roommate's face again. and her hand moves up, from the side of Jen's arm to her shoulder, so her thumb comes to rest over her collarbone.]

You look fine to me.

[it's new, but. new things happen all the time. it doesn't change who Jen is as a person. nothing Retrospec does can do that, as far as Lina's concerned. it's just her hair and her eyes. you know, two of the most important things for anybody trying to hit it big.]

I wouldn't exactly call myself normal, but I don't think you look like a freak. [she smiles, the corners of her eyes crinkling a little but god help Jen if she calls her out on it.] I kind of like it.
