Drag Queen

"This is ridiculous."

Astyanax fussed with the lie of the veil, which trailed down from Rytolonix's pointed hat. "Well, you will look ridiculous if you insist on standing that way. Think soft and feminine. Right now you look like a pissed-off dragon."

"I am a pissed-off dragon."

"No, you're a princess. We've been over this. Human hunters use wooden ducks to make the real ducks think the water is safe."

"Why can't we use a princess stuffed with straw?"

Astyanax sighed. "Humans are smarter than ducks, Rytolonix. Now lean forward. I'm going to do your eyeshadow."

"Ow!"

"Well, quit wriggling!"
