Leaning closer to the mirror, Alex carefully observed his current face.
Last night he rested very well; deep sleep without dreams made his skin fresher. His multi-layered eyelids didn't create any strange formations, maintaining their most normal appearance.
Looking closely in the mirror, Alex discovered they were indeed not that ugly. It seemed true, as Toby said, these eyelids made his eyes look deeper and more soulful.
Very good, Alex's confidence increased by a few notches; he was very satisfied. He adjusted the folds of his new silk scarf to be perfect.
Since it was his first time learning to tie this style of scarf, he kept feeling he wasn't doing very well. His hands were clumsy, needing constant adjustment, or he decisively untied it to tie it again until he was satisfied.
Thinking so, Alex's movements were agile; he untied the silk scarf, smoothed it out, then tied it again meticulously.
