"Luke." Cosette whistled at Luke to get his attention. When Luke didn't seem to hear her as he was focused on painting the wall, Cosette flung her roller mildly, sprinkling a bit of white paint on him.
Luke snapped his eyes, getting out of his immersion to look at her with a frown. "What?"
"Look." She grinned, pointing proudly at the spot she painted. "Better, right?"
"Ahem!" Luke straightened his back and presented his spot. Unlike previously, when they could still see the original color of the wall, it was way better now.
"I didn't know it's easier." He grinned triumphantly, seeing Cosette grin back, and showed a thumbs up.
Cosette then turned her attention to Maxen. He was almost done and had shifted from roller paint to paintbrush for the edges. She was only halfway done, and Luke was around seventy percent. In other words, they can take a short break.
But her eyes shone with mischief as she giggled evilly.
