A Hairdresser, a hairdresser! My kingdom for a hairdresser!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...I've been stuck in the city for what 15 months or so and only NOW you've realized that my hair's probably going to have grown during that time?

Y-Yeah I'm just going to go borrow Finn's hat or something, There's no way I'm going to attempt cutting it on my own and You know My Uncle Glad's the only guy I trust enough to make sure it looks good. Ugh I can hear him right now.

"Such long messy locks are most unbecoming of my grand-niece! Think of the sheer shame that will be brought upon the Goldenscale name if she as much thought about carrying about as normal amongst the streets of Dragonsbayne with so much as a lock out of place!"

oh no don't tempt me to revive my able-to-cut-hair-very-well-and-was-once-in-ink-city-muse

[kuro_inu]

... Is there something wrong with long hair?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well no I just...

There's a reason why I keep it short.

[You're probably going to think this is stupid Randsom handsome guy who happens to like long hair.] It's kind of important to me.

[kuro_inu]

I see. [ Your reason is valid, Saft.

He nods. ] That's understandable.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

It must look a mess right now huh?

[Says the girl who doesn't normally care about how she looks.]

[kuro_inu]

[ He'll now take a better look at Saft but not too long to make sure that he doesn't seem like he's staring. ]

No. [ Well, it is unique in a way. ] I think your hair is fine.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Fine it might be, But Saft's still trying to do something with it. Too bad she doesn't have anything to tie it back with for now.]

I can't do a thing with it though.

[kuro_inu]

[ Well, he's no hairdresser so he can't help Saft. ]

Isn't that fine? [ Let hair be hair.. ] You don't have to do anything with it.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

O-Oh well thanks!

[She gives a sheepish grin.] ...What's your name anyway?

[kuro_inu]

No problem. [ at least Saft's smiling now. kinda. ]

I am Yatogami Kuroh. (( ooc note: the order is- last name first name :> ))

How about you?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Yatogami Kuroh...

I'm Nivalis Goldenscale but er..

I'm used to people calling me Saft or even Nivvie if you want.

because what is icon variations .-.

[kuro_inu]

[ Because he doesn't know Saft so well so he'll go with Nivalis, just being safe and all.

... ]

Would it be fine if I called you 'Nivalis'? [ Or not? ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Well actually-

[She smiles fondly, it's been some time since anyone's referred to her by her real name.]

That would be fine. Really, Really fine.

[kuro_inu]

Alright then. [ He bows. ]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Nivalis.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

You too Kuroh.

[She smiles and fiddles with her hair again. Not entirely sure what else to discuss with him.]

Normally the only person who calls me 'Nivalis' is my Uncle.

[kuro_inu]

[ Oh, Saft, don't worry. The lack of discussion topics can be entirely blamed on Kuro. ]

May I ask what kind of person is your Uncle?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, My uncle? He's kind of studious, bossy, Always wanting to make sure I stay out of trouble...

A major prude.

[kuro_inu]

[ ... Prude. ]

Isn't that a bit harsh? I'm certain that he's doing all that for your own safety because he's worried about you. [ He gives a smile because he knows that his (previous) Master did that. ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I know, I know...

I just wish he wouldn't try to force me to be someone I'm not. I didn't ask to be a dra--

...I didn't ask to be a Goldenscale I mean.

[kuro_inu]

[ Well Kuro finds the 'Dra- ?' part weird but he won't question further. ]

Forcing... [ He goes silent for a bit. Well, forcing is not right.. Wait. ]

'Goldenscale'?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Let's just say where I'm from my family's practically royalty.

What about you? What's your family like?

[kuro_inu]

I see. My apologies for asking too much. [ It seems like a touchy subject. Then he freezes at the question. ]

... I have only one person that I could consider as a 'family', which is my previous Master. However, he has passed on.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...No way.

I-I used to have a Master too. He took me in when I was a baby.

[kuro_inu]

[ He smiles ] Then, I guess that we are quite similar, aren't we?

Though, I have found a new Master, he's too carefree and irresponsible. However, he is also... My friend.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I'd say so!

...I guess in a way my uncle's the nearest thing I've had to a second Master, he's taught me everything I'd ever had to know about pretty much anything.

1/2

[kuro_inu]

I see... This uncle of yours does sound extremely dependable and capable. [ much more than his new master pft ]

[kuro_inu]

About being forced...

[ his face lights up, he takes out a voice recorder of some sort, presses a button and it plays a deep voice: ]

'Walk casually. Along the path you have chosen, the path of your dreams.'
[ and also, given him some time to sparkle ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[assfdfgjkl--

Well Saft wasn't expecting Kuroh to throw up a random talking little box at her. Especially one that would give her such nice encouragement like so.]

Thing is, I'm not like regular girls Kuroh...I'm different to most humans.

[kuro_inu]

[ Hm ]

Even if you are different, my Master's words still apply. You are who you want to be, Nivalis. [ he'll give a smile again. ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Saft smiles softly and tidies some of her bangs behind her ear.]

...Thankyou Kuroh.

oh they will clearly be good friends.

[kuro_inu]

[ And he'll push another button and this time to voice says: ]

'The final curtain is at the very moment a person gives up.'

[so much encouragement]

I'm trying so hard not to ship this...but-

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[She doesn't say a word but offers the slightly older boy a pure smile, one that shows that despite everything she'll be okay. It's a smile of reassurance and she's glad that despite the short time they've spent together he's willing to watch her back for her.]

[humanhero]

Awww, your hair don't look that bad! You should see mine after I try to cut it.

It...it's righteous a mess.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

It's a total mess Finn!

You've got to let me borrow that hat. You just got your hair cut, right? So you don't even need it!

[humanhero]

Well yeah- ..but this hat is a part of me pretty much!

...but I gueess I can let you...borrow it if you think you really need it that bad.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

You're right.

But the only person I'd trust to cut my hair isn't anywhere near Ink City...And I'm useless at trying to do anything with it Finn.

[humanhero]

[He smiles a bit, shaking his head.]

I still don't think it looks too bad- ..but just let me know when y'need t'borrow it an' my hat's all yours.

...but only for you ok...

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Thanks Finn. [Have a hug outta nowhere because you're the best, buddy.]

[humanhero]

Haha, no problem! Anythin' for a friend.

[Always up for righteous friendship hugs!]

I'm gonna hafta see if I can get you a hat... maybe I can get Once-ler t'help me make you one?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

The Once-ler?

...So will it actually be a hat or one of those Thneed things he keeps pushing on people because now my mun's giggling away at the mental image of me with a Thneed stuck on my head.

[humanhero]

[He can't help but snicker because his own mun is laughing too.]

Naahh, nah I don't think so- he said there isn't anymore material to make Thneeds anyway. Or at least- he probably ain't gonna be makin' more anytime soon.

No, I'll make sure it's just a hat! ...I- ...don't know how to knit or whatever though, so that's why I'd get his help.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Gee, well thanks!

Hmm, Wonder what sort of hat would suit me?

[humanhero]

I dunno! ...Mine kinda looks like a uh...a bear I guess. ...So uhm-

..I wonder if there would be any possible way t'make you a dragon hat..
