Just don't chop off the whole thing, and we're fine.
[ Fortunately he's not that stubborn, and pliant enough to follow instructions since they've already got this agreement sorted out. He's not particularly tense at any individual touch, but the faint aura of uncertainty still follows, maybe tinted with a taste of melancholy and nostalgia besides. There's still also the edge of some amount of alertness, just in case Kaveh's milkshake decides to make a return, but it's kind of like a background hum.
As per usual, he doesn't really say anything though. After a moment, it'll turn into little blips of curiosity and something like an assessment, but not bad. Expression wise he is neutral with his eyes closed as he lets Kaveh wash his hair. ]
[DONT JUST MAKE BUTTERFLY MEMES AT 2AMLFMFNDJJFJF GO TO BED]
As long as you're nice, I'll quell the urge. [But it's lighthearted, with a pulse of amusement.
Anyway then he stabs Wolfwood with the knife he's been hiding the whole time--no just kidding. True to his word, he stays focused; he's thorough, but doesn't linger unnecessarily. Wolfwood's hair is much shorter than his own, so it doesn't take long. Once he's done, he snags the towel and, after a cursory sweep, hands it to him.]
Just a second, I'll grab the scissors. [He is not a professional stylist so they'll just do the cutting part in the sink chair too because why not. He will, at least, spot the protective cloak things that are hanging up as he goes to get some scissors, though, so that's a bonus.]
[ I DIDN'T MAKE IT I FOUND IT ON THE INTERNET CHARLES BOYLE IS AN ICON
Also yeah kill him off-schedule for being too heterosexual during pride month.
Double-also, cool. He'll sit up and towel his hair, not waiting for blow-drying. He normally doesn't bother with hair care so it's so soft now?? Wow. There's vague curiosity and impressed-ness as he's just carding fingers through his freshly salon-washed hair. ]
[LMFKSDJHGKSJDG HELP I'VE NEVER SEEN B99 this is why you should kill me... but how can you do that if Wolfwood is dead and also het... oh no... WE'RE AT AN IMPASSE.
The vibes don't go unnoticed, though; as Kaveh comes back with the cape and the scissors, he smiles, letting Wolfwood take a moment to enjoy it.]
[ It's just so good... Pixi...... Pixi you gotta.........
He makes a slight face when Kaveh calls him out on it though, and it wicks out like a candle into something much smaller. How dare his emotions get perceived. ]
Yeah, feels nice.
[ OUTWARDLY THOUGH he's polite. ]
Usually dealing with motel shampoo most days, if I even get a real working shower.
[I KNOW... it's so tragic I haven't seen like, The Office or Always Sunny or even finished The Good Place MY POP CULTURE EDUCATION IS LACKING
Also wow, tsuntsun. Kaveh shakes his head, but there's fondness there as he leans forward to drape the cape over him so he can start trimming.]
Mm, I understand. [And indeed, there's a pulse of genuine understanding--intertwined with a painful kind of nostalgia before it's pushed away.] They owe us this much, at least. Especially if they're going to keep gluing us to each other in some form or another.
[you :handshake: aki memorizing a particular show that is massively meme'd except his is spongebob]
If they do, I'll pay you $5 in heartfelt apology. [Does he even have $5? A mystery.] Hold still.
[Wolfwood probably doesn't need the warning, so it's more of a verbal head's up than anything, but he will start trimming after that! The ever-present negativity is even fainter, now, replaced by a calm focus. His hands are, fortunately, very steady, and he's gentle with his touches when he needs a different angle. He's definitely not a professional, but he's not trying anything fancy, so it won't look bad, which is tragic because it would be SO funny if he ended up with a terrible haircut after all of this.]
[ Help... I want to binge watch Fairly Odd Parents, truly unhinged content.
Well, at least he's REALLY good at being shock still. He accepts the little snips of hair that returns his range of vision at least a little somewhat. I realise for this he will have had to take off his sunglasses so this is a rare moment. He's chilling though. Closing his eyes when the front fringe is trimmed, etc. ]
I'm actually going to hold you to that, you know that?
[He's so amused by this because IF YOU DO THAT HE CAN'T SEND YOU THE MONEY!! WOLFWOOD YOU MORON]
I believe they call that "cutting off your nose to spite your face." [He punctuates that with a light rap of his knuckle against Wolfwood's nose, then steps back.] Take a look, tell me what you think.
[ Why does literally everyone go after his nose this much, this is literally at least the third time his nose has been attacked in this week alone. He wrinkles it a bit, but looks in the mirror.
Cool, nice. Still looks like himself, just a bit cleaner and fresher. ]
Looks good.
[ Local guy really will just be like yeah whatever it looks good. ]
[Oh I just assumed Wolfwood would immediately devolve into violence
But he looks very pleased with himself.]
Of course! [At least he thinks Wolfwood is just "meh whatever" because of his difficult life, so he's more gracious. Otherwise he would complain.] It's been a while since I've cut anyone's but my own, but it's not that difficult once you understand the basics. And you have a nice face shape, so it was easy to work with.
[As he does, Kaveh goes searching for a broom, since he is a mess of a person, not in general.]
Mm. It wasn't something I put a lot of thought into either, for a long time. When I was a student, I was far too busy to care. [A little nostalgia, there, though it's bittersweet.] I probably had glue in my hair more than any kind of nice products.
Mm, in a way. Both of my parents were scholars, and my mother was an architect, so you could say I followed in her footsteps. [There's a pang of guilt and loneliness, there, though he ignores it.] Sumeru is a nation of scholars in general, though. The Akademiya is a core element of Sumeru's prosperity--if you throw a stone in the city, you'll probably hit ten at once.

We'd probably benefit from people actually wanting to learn that much. Sure, a couple of smarties here and there, but a majority get overlooked.
