"I found a new nail polish that totally doesn't match my skin tone. Let me compare it to yours." Venus crooks her fingers to invite Porrim in, to ask for company on the bed, like they're two girls at a slumber party.
She knows that her bedroom is bugged, although she suspects that there isn't video footage of this particular bedroom. She doesn't know how well whispers translate to whatever recording is being taken here. For a moment she considers just pretending this is all she wants Porrim form, a skin swatch, because the idea that Porrim might not be on their side is a terrifying one. Venus knows if she gets tortured, she'll talk. She did before. She'll sell out everyone to make the pain stop, and that's why she was only trusted to know a handful of people on this mission.
She pulls out an arbitrary bottle of polish from by her bedside. "The color is Four Sugars. Have you ever tried it before? The brand has some other really nice selections, like Harlem, Tater Tot..."
