I keep getting it tangled in my halo when I try tying it up...

[ They've never had to look after themselves before. It's exhausting. ]

Forget it. I'm sure it'll just fall out eventually.

[laserhawk]

[ hrff. ]

That's not how hair works.

I guess giving a cut can't be too hard.

[idratherdie]

Yea it is. Isn't it?

[ Don't make them think about how hair works, Dolph, that uses far too much brain power! ]

... Is it gonna hurt?

[laserhawk]

No. Losing hair doesn't hurt.

I lost mine a long time ago. Due to experiments. It just grows back.

[ but that's why he doesn't cut it. too afraid to lose it and one of the few parts of himself he has control over. ]

[idratherdie]

My feathers hurt. When they get pulled out or damaged. I just assumed it was the same.

[ They stay quiet for a moment to think about that. About what Dolph means when he says experiments... ]

You like having it now, huh?

[laserhawk]

I do.

It feels like a part of me I get to keep.

[idratherdie]

Maybe I should keep mine then?

I never realized it was important...

[laserhawk]

That depends on how you feel about it.

Everyone feels differently.

[idratherdie]

I feel like it gets in the way now... But it keeps me warm...

I've never had a choice on what to wear or how to have my hair.

I wouldn't know where to start.

[laserhawk]

Start with simple questions. Do you want it?

[idratherdie]

Do I want my hair? ... Yes?

[ Having to actually think about things for themself is almost as exhausting as physically doing things. Dolph is making them get a mental work out right now! But... It feels like it might be beneficial. ]

[laserhawk]

Then you should keep it.

Anyone can manage a trim, to be honest. It's not hard.
