Yotsuyu couldn't help giving Clarence an amused look at his shock. "It's called makeup, darling! With the proper plumping potions, well! That or you can claim I'm incredibly well-preserved." Really, she was poking gentle fun at him, now, and gave him something of a wink. She had no illusions about her age--pushing quite hard against 40, and unhappy about it--but she would accept any joking push back with good grace.

"I understand. But really, it is possible. I promise." Yotsuyu chuckled. "Come now, we can go up and you can fill out the paperwork, and I will write them a check. How does that sound?"

It sounded quite fine to her!
