Yeah, yeah. One braid or two?

Let's try one and see how it goes before we go for anything too complicated.

[ha ha! ha! deep breath]

Then that's our story.

What happened?

... If you've need of air, let me accompany you.

What if I'm feelin' the need t'do something stupid too?

You're understimatin' me.

[ starts on one simple braid down the back though ]

[ And helping her in cleaning it, maybe looking a bit too cheery for a person helping his Champion wash blood out of her hair but whatevs, it's dark, no one can tell. ]

... I am glad you are well, I do hope you know.

She was too close to our territory and I told her off. She was belligerent, so it turned into a fight.

[AND THEN I BANGED HER BEFORE MURDERING HER BUT YOU KNOW, LET'S NOT TELL ANYONE THAT?]

[she's a bit too cheery for someone who just mutilated and killed a woman, but you know]

I'm glad to have pleased you.

A Prime off alone without anyone else... what a fool.

Is this a trait of you Primes, so eager to be disposable despite your indispensability?

... That ain't it. I know what me gettin' hurt does to the rest've you.

[laaaaaughs, low and amused]

Well, you're not wrong.

. . . Then what are you going on about?

I confess that I am somewhat skeptical of your claims. If you don't like it, make me eat those words.

Hell, I dunno. Jus' gotta get out an' do something.

How 'bout I just feed you th'braid?

[OFFENDED HUFF]

Does bullying count as violence? I think it should.

Then let me go with you! As an accomplice, if I must-- I am no keeper.

[ Surely this is not worrying to the other member of our family or anything. ]

[ Raising a lock of her hair, kissing it blood and all. ]

I cannot imagine being anything but pleased to have you as a member of my family.

Eos...

[just. nuzzles him. gosh '-' she is actually speechless]

[ What a cute Champion, cute Champions get hugs. ]

[ he opens his mouth to protest. pauses. ]

... Wanna steal a boat?

Please an' thank you for the meal then.

[ hmmm, how to tie this off... ]
