Ella was a bit surprised by Ariana's outburst and the general anger that a lot of girls in the class were displaying. She respected the girl power and all that but she really wasn't that bothered by being asked to have one. A beard, that is. I mean BEARDS! Not that she thought she looked amazing with one or anything but how often did you get to experience how the other half lives? It's not as if she was ever going to be able to grow one again without magic so why not. She'd be a bearded lady for the day and worst comes to worst, she could always join the circus if it didn't come off. Bright side!

The blonde eyed her orange paint curiously and then dipped the end of her long beard inside, making sure to get it good and covered. If she was going to paint, she might as well make it a good painting. She then held the beard awkwardly over her blank parchment and let it drip.

Drip. Drip. Drop. Drop. Drop.

Hm. "I've got thirteen drops here." Was that good?
