Makoto returned to his private rooms, and found Ifurita sitting on their bed, wearing a loose robe. Her bare left hand and arm were covered in intricate purple designs.

"Wow." Makoto gently examined Ifurita's arm. "Who did this?"

"Alielle," said Ifurita. "It is the same permanent dye that she uses to paint the mark on her own forehead. But I did not know that she had such artistic talent."

"She probably practices on Fatora," said Makoto. "It's lovely, Ifurita. It reminds me of the 'henna tattoos' that we have on Earth. And the purple dye stands out on your alabaster skin."

"Would you like to try it, Makoto? Alielle gave me some extra dye, and some stencils, that you could use on me."

"Uh... sure," Makoto said. "I suppose we could 'do' your other arm, so that they match."

Ifurita stood up. "My dearest Makoto. I have more than my arm to offer you." She shrugged off her robe, sat on the bed again, and gave Makoto an inviting smile.

Makoto had shared many intimate moments with Ifurita by now, but her pale beauty still took his breath away. "This mostly-empty canvas is already so beautiful," he said to himself.
