[shiftingwinds]

Any style you think would look nice is fine.

[she bats her eyelashes at them.]

Make me pretty?

[commedia]

[Douman barks out a laugh.]

Qingxuan, you're already pretty!

[But they put the brush down to draw some of her hair into what will make into a braid.]

[shiftingwinds]

Make me prettier!

[she giggles, but she'll stay still so they can work with her hair.]

[commedia]

I will do my best, hm!

[And their hands are nimble, weaving in strands of hair in and out.]

Have other people done this for you?

[shiftingwinds]

[she thinks about it...]

Grell styled it for me once, after I did her hair... but other than that, no. I usually do it myself.

[commedia]

Aw. You should have more people doing such things for you!

[A huff.]

Maybe you should have that grumpy Ming Yi do it for you, as a treat.

[shiftingwinds]

[her expression flickers a little at that, but since they're working with her hair, they probably can't see it]

Ahaha... I don't think he would enjoy that very much.

[commedia]

Oh?

[Hm? They pause, slightly.]

Why not?

[shiftingwinds]

Doing my hair isn't really something he likes.

[commedia]

[Now that makes them frown.]

Because he doesn't want to touch you, or...?

[shiftingwinds]

[she waves a hand]

No, it's... he has better things to do with his time is all. Besides, I style my hair better than he does! Ahaha...

[commedia]

Hmm.

[Threading the braid around the back of her head, now.]

Does he do things like that often?

[shiftingwinds]

"Things like that"...?

[commedia]

Well, ignore you or being too busy when you want to do something.

He is your friend, yes?

[shiftingwinds]

...he is. But I take up a lot of his time. He's allowed to have other friends, too! It's... it's a good thing if he does.

[commedia]

[Hm.]

Are you jealous, Qingxuan?

[shiftingwinds]

...no. Jealousy doesn't suit me.

[commedia]

It may not suit you, but is it what you feel?

[shiftingwinds]

...no! I've always said, he's a great guy. It's only a good thing if other people are noticing that too now, it's not something to get jealous over...

[commedia]

[They fix the braid into her hair, picking up the brush to gently brush the rest of it.]

But are you disappointed that he isn't spending more time with you?

[shiftingwinds]

...

[she falls silent because she doesn't want to answer that question]

[commedia]

Qingxuan...

[They shift forward, resting their chin on her shoulder.]

Qingxuan...it is alright. What you feel is natural. You like him very much, do you not? Then is it truly bad that you don't want to share him with others?

[shiftingwinds]

...it's not that I don't want to share...

[...]

It really isn't.

[commedia]

Then what is it? Do you think that others will mistreat him, then?

[shiftingwinds]

No! No, not at all, it's just...

[she sighs]

...I don't know. I'm not used to feeling like this around him, and I don't know what to do about it.
