[ ben's reaction, while sad, isn't unexpected. she doesn't move to hide the injury, because what good would that do? what's done is done, and allison just wants to move forward. so instead she just averts her gaze a little, inspecting a few of the spa settings, letting ben process. that's his right, and she doesn't want to intrude.
she laughs at ben's shock at the gold face masks, glad that he also thinks they're ridiculous. she nods, fake-solemnly and crosses her heart. they're real, all right, although allison's never tried one.
she bends down, inspecting the mask collection, and nods approvingly. then she looks back up at ben, analyzing what his skin needs. yikes. so much. ]
You washed your face in the shower, right?
[ because you've got to get the grime off before you put on the mask! allison hands him an oatmeal-based one. it's a good, gentle first exfoliant, and allison's going to wager that ben has never exfoliated in his life. ]
It's not all divas, no. Mostly you get the really artsy types, the gross executive types, and then the private types. It's more like everyone's a workaholic at the end of the day. """The biz""" can really take up your entire life, if you let it.
