"Brush it, burn it, wash it and shine it." Venti said. "And since you're a Red we can paint the fins, although we'll wash it off in the morning since that's usually only done for really fancy events."

"Burn it?" Yuki said with a clear concern in her voice, "What are we burning exactly?"

"Your tail of course." Venti said. "Look I'll start on your tail since it takes a while to burn. First we brush it." She said taking the steel brush and combing it over her tail.

"Again, I've only had a tail for just short of a week and your ways are foreign to me." She said watching Venti and trying not to move much.

Venti rolled her eyes. "Don't you trust me? I'm going to show you how it works, I won't let you get hurt." She put the comb back and pulled a large jar towards her. "Here. Inside is burning cream. Don't touch your face when you're using this. We're going to rub this on your tail and you'll feel that it starts to burn a little, but it's going to really help the scales on your tail, especially the small ones that are hard to clean."

"I see." Yuki said, looking at the jar, "How will we know when it's done?"

"You kinda have to learn through trail and error since every dragon is different." Venti said. "Luckily for you I'm a Green and have quite a bit of experience." She said loosening her tail and waving it.

Yuki laughed, "Good to hear." She looked over to the jar, "How do you not burn your claws? I'd imagine they'd be covered in the stuff. And how do you get it off later."

"It does burn your claws a little." Venti said opening the jar. It had a brimstone scent to it. "But it's your eyes and moth you have to watch out for. That's extremely painful, but as long as your careful it's not a problem. And you just wash it off once it's done. I'll put this on you for now, the feeling may take some time to get used to."

"I'm a tough girl. Adaptable." Yuki said with a grin, still a little nervous, but figuring it was like the Icey hot stuff they used to sell. Without the Icey.

Venti started spreading the cream over Yuki's tail. It burned, but it wasn't unbearable, the worst part was the feeling to get used to. And then smoke started raising out of the cream.

Yuki sucked air through her teeth, trying not to tense her claws an dig into the floor. Mostly a nervous reaction on her part, "Is it supposed to do that?" She asked, pointing to the smoke.

"Yep!" Venti smiled. "It means it's working."

Yuki tried to keep her mind off her tail for a bit, looking at her claws and scratched at the back of her opposite claw before stopping suddenly, not wanting to mar her scaled further.

After some shimmering Venti finally wiped the cream off with a wet cloth that she carefully let rest in a bowl of water. "See, that wasn't so bad." Yuki's tail was completely black.

"Umm, no. I guess not." She lifted a bit of her tale, "Now what? I'm guessing we polish it or something?"

"That's right!" Venti said. "You're catching on and you can help with this part. It's also the most fun." She handed Yuki a cloth with little crystals inside. "Use this and just keep polishing until all the soot is gone."

Yuki nodded and started at her base of where the soot started. She was glad to be as flexible as she was and got to polishing.

As she and Venti polished the scales that appeared under the soot did almost look light gems as they reflected the light.

"Oooh, pretty." Yuki said, looking at the shine before continuing.

"I know, right?" Venti laughed. "Although it looses its shine after a day or so, so show it off while you can."

"The rest of me looks lackluster by comparison." Yuki joked with a grin.

"No way!" Venti said and took the mirror off the desk and placed in in front of Yuki to show her. Even with her tail shinier than the rest of her she still looked amazing, from the bath earlier and Venti's previous brushing, it all seemed to work and she did indeed seem to sparkle as a whole.

"Ohh, nice." Thala said, literally checking from head to tail, "Humans don't shine, not in the least. Though, I once say a girl put glitter in her hair."

"I've seen dragons use glitter too." Venti giggled. "But that usually just makes you messy." She took out a brush. "And now we get to paint your tail."

"Got an extra brush?" She asked, "Not that I'm an artist or anything."

Venti searched for an extra brush and handed it to Yuki. "Here you go and I know just the pattern to use." She headed to the bookcase and took out a large book. She brought it back and opened it in front of them, turning to a page with Red dragons painted with golden curves and branches. "Here we go. These markings symbolizes peace for the Reds. It's the most common and sophisticated markings used by Reds. Not really for parties, but it should do for anything fancier."

Yuki looked the pattern over and over, "Cool, hopefully I don't mess it up too bad." Yuki said.

"Don't worry. We all had to practice." Venti smiled. "Besides, we're not going anyplace fancy tonight." She said starting on her tail.

Yuki continuously referenced the book as she drew on her tail, bracing each time as she expected it to tickle. The lines were crude and not even, but it didn't look too bad from a distance, neither of them were at this point. She was glad just to be doing something she was used to and really had at it, giving it her all.
