The Clockmaker and the Foreigner

She reached out her hand and ran her palm down the face of the funny little person who had been so kind and warm. She smiled gently as he froze, timid and suddenly afraid.

It's so cute, someone shoot me. In case you can't tell, the one on the right is the clockmaker and the one on the left is the foreigner. She comes from a place that is much colder, so to her it is too hot to wear thick clothing.
I kind of failed at the background. It's all derp. And the lower half of the female really bugs me.
If I had a tail I know I would twist strands of pearls into it, at least for those times I feel feminine.

Comments, questions, and critique always welcome!


EDIT: I changed the back curtain to be a little blue-er so that the lady's dress would be more visable against it.
