Norris Moore, having taken medicine, woke up from his sleep feeling refreshed and invigorated.
By 5pm, it was two hours to the cutting-ribbon time. He had Fish Yummy order two meals, and they had dinner in Rufus Swallow's rest room. After the meal, they called the makeup artist to start the makeup session.
Such banquets normally go until 3 or 4 in the morning. It would be unbearable if one did not eat enough.
Tilly Flower brought a black qipao-style dress. It was slit quite high, almost to the upper thigh. To Norris's dismay, Tilly forgot to bring along a pair of leggings, leaving him feeling a little exposed when moving around.
The makeup artist was an old friend, familiar with his makeup needs. With a few expert touches, she had Norris's banquet makeup done. She pinned up his hair, leaving a few strands naturally falling on his cheeks and collarbone, which gave him a seductive yet innocent look.
