Lex was capable of being a gentleman, and so waited patiently, without peeking at Maya while she changed. When she emerged, he immediately was pleased with her attire, as inappropriate as it was for the trek. At the very least, she would have to wear practical shoes. Something flat and comfortable, that wouldn't destroy her feet while they walked.
"You look stunning, Maya," Lex told her, in a genuine tone. He stood from the window seat he had chosen to occupy, and crossed to her vanity, where she was about to apply cosmetics. He laid a hand on hers to stop her.
"You should remove what you're already wearing on your face," Lex said. "The forest can get a bit misty, and it'll make your paints run. You don't want it to ruin that gorgeous dress. Besides," he said grinning at Maya in her reflection, "I already know you're gorgeous, there is no need to paint your face for me." She was a beautiful woman, that didn't need paint her face, sure. Lex also secretly hated the taste of the stuff. As he was planning on kissing that face, he thought this the best way to avoid getting it in his mouth.
"Do you have comfortable shoes for walking," Lex asked. "When we arrive at the spot I'm taking you, you'll likely want to be barefoot. Until then, you don't want to wear out your feet."
