4. Tidying

[sws_mizuki]

 I decided I'll give myself a haircut to make it easier to manage while on expedition. Not looking forward to not showering for two weeks. 

While I've got the scissors and clippers out, does anyone need a trim?

I hope you remain rash free, Mizuki.

Yeah, if only so it's not quite so glaringly sunny and hot on your face.

May I ask you a favour?

[sws_mizuki]

I hope so too!


How may I help you?

[chickens]

I worry that my friend Tachibana Kippei might think cutting off his hair is a good idea, when he gets melancholic and dramatic. Please ban him from the scissors and clippers so he doesn't make rash decisions.

[sws_mizuki]

So...if he comes for a haircut, I'll just tell him you told me not to give him one?

[chickens]

If he wants a trim that's fine. I'm just worried about the dramatic cutting it all off and short thing he's tried to do before.

You can blame me, that's fine.

[sws_mizuki]

Your beau does look better with a mane.

[chickens]

... I think you've misunderstood, Mizuki.

[sws_mizuki]

Don't tell me you're stringing him along?!

[chickens]

what??? stringing along?!

[sws_mizuki]

When the other party likes you and is interested but you give mixed signals. So the hope that one day you can be more is always there dangling just out of reach.

Screened

[chickens]

there's no stringing along and no mixed signals. Tachibana and I are very clear about what's happening

Re: Screened

[sws_mizuki]

If you say so. Dr. Tachibana is such a nice man though, don't let him slip through your fingers.

Re: Screened

[chickens]

i'm curious why you think tachibana likes me and is interested

and what mixed signals I'm apparently giving

Re: Screened

[sws_mizuki]

I'm very accurate about these things!!!

Well, there's so much...
He's very nice to you. He is nice to everyone but especially nice to you. I don't think his friend Mr. Chitose gets the meal delivery service, you know?? He's always ready to defend you on the journals, too.

You always talk about Dr. Tachibana! And you treat him differently from everyone else, too. I assume that means you also act differently with him, and that's probably where he's thinking you might like him and he has a chance.

[chickens]

Just making sure, Kippei.

[wildlionchef]

I'm glad I'm allowed trims now, though? That's good.

[chickens]

If you suddenly reappear from a trim with all your hair gone I shall be most cross with you.

[wildlionchef]

I just need the split ends trimmed, otherwise it's gonna start looking terrible.

[chickens]

That's fine. I should probably trim my ends too at some point.

[wildlionchef]

We could go together if you don't trust me.

[chickens]

No, I trust you. Mostly because I know you'd worry about having to deal with me being grumpy for weeks if you chopped off too much.

[wildlionchef]

You're quite a different beast when you're grumpy.

[chickens]

Are you scared?

[wildlionchef]

Absolutely terrified.
