Joseph's room...

Joseph: I said he wasn't the man in the relationship, when he first got with me, and now here I am, getting my hair and makeup done for my big day...

Joseph: *sighs and places a hand on his forehead, elbow resting on the table*

Vera: *painting Joseph's nails on his other hand*

Vera: Why did you guys ask me to help with wedding preparations? I've done this already and it's only fun the first time...

Joseph: We can only ask the most fashionable and gorgeous girl, after all. And who else is magnificent enough for this job, other than you?

Vera: *quietly* Martha...

Joseph: Oh... She's not THAT fashiona-

Martha: *laying on her side, on Joseph's bed, on her phone, pulls out her flare gun and points it at Joseph threateningly, without looking up from her phone*

Joseph: I-I mean- You're right, Vera, she's... Very fashionable...

Vera: *unaware of Martha's threat, as she is occupied with painting Joseph's nails*

Vera: Yeah, I know. Her style is just... Mmm, yes...

Martha: Yeah, I love the Mmm, yes shop.

Vera: *a little surprised, she might have forgot that Martha was in the room*

Vera: Oh- But- my Mmm, yes wasn't referring to a brand... Or a shop...

Martha: Oh? What did you mean then?

Vera: I meant that your style makes me feel a certain way.

Martha: Oh really? How does it make you feel? Please, do tell me, Vera.

Martha: *raises eyebrows*

Vera: It makes me feel... Hungry...

Martha: What? Hungry? How-

Joseph: Sorry, but could we hurry this up? I have a husband waiting for me.

Vera: Oh yes, of course...

Vera: *goes silent and continues painting Joseph's nails a bright blue colour*

Joseph: My nails are looking fabulous! They totally match the colours of the flowers!

Vera: *finishes the last nail*

Vera: Aaaand, done! Now, we let them dry, then you can wear your dress!

Joseph: Ah, thank you, Vera.

Joseph: *puts a hand up in front of him and looks at his nails*

Joseph: I really do love these. They give me a sense of power. Who needs a sword when you have such beautiful nails?

Joseph: *in awe*

*after a while, Joseph's nails have dried and the two girls help him get dressed into a tight dress with thin, slightly see-through and flowing sleeves*
