[ hah. ]

Ever thought about dyeing your hair?

[ohthehumanities]

[Ah...

There's a pulse of melancholy and nostalgia, briefly visible on his face.]

I did, a long time ago. But I decided not to.

[ there's a reflexive sympathy from alex that she can't help, and she does speak a little softer - but she's still nosy, so she still asks. ]

Why not?

[ohthehumanities]

[Fortunately, it's not a secret, even though there's clearly some old grief being brought to the surface.]

My father had the same hair color as I do. I didn't want to lose that connection after he died.

[camena]

[ ah... she gives a little nod of understanding. ]

... I get how you feel. I mean, different, obviously, but—you know.

[ohthehumanities]

[He just nods, and doesn't pry.]

I'm not entirely against the idea. But I don't think I want to change it while I'm here.

[If he's gonna double die, then he'd rather die the way he looks now.]

[camena]

[ aggressively lightening the mood ]

Well, that's fine. It can be fun, but if you like how things are, why change them?

[ohthehumanities]

[She's doing her best.]

Yes, you're right. I'll stick to nail color, for now. [Unless they get a studio or a workshop in which case he's never going to come to the salon ever again because it'll be his new home

But--] You mentioned food?

[camena]

Oh, right right right. Yeah.

[ she is a little easily distracted... ]
