Can I Cheat?

After quietly laying around for a few hours, Helkep found the courage to get up.

'Sigh! I truly shouldn't have laid down with me being drenched. Lets take a bath.' Helkep looked at the water marks on the floor made due to his wet shoes and shook his head.

He walked towards the bathroom and… looked at his face in the mirror. 'I am… pretty?… I-I guess so.'

'Now that I think about it. Ulfreed used to wear that special device... it could somehow decrease the appeal of someone. I remember that mother told him to wear it because… she thought, Ella might get jealous. I should… use that. But… am I really pretty?' Helkep couldn't help but look at himself with a frown.
