Parts of it are dyed an interesting pink, [Koumei explained, unruffled by the banter between the two young men.] And no insult was intended-- I just don't feel like that style would suit me.

[Because the hair color was the one key feature amongst all the children who were sired by their father, and it was fairly unique. He was rather fond of it, with it's distinctiveness and everything.]

[adornmental]

Pastel shades are super in right now, so I talked him into trying it out! He liked it so much that he kept it.

[More like he likes Kashuu so much that he continued to humor him, but hey, same diff...]

But don't worry, don't worry! Like I said, your hair color is good. But you have a looot of it to work with, so we can try out a ton of styles!

[roughcut]

Pink?

[He lifts a lock of his own hair, wondering how much pinker than this someone could get, if Kashuu was getting so defensive about it after complimenting them.]

Guess he's a bold guy, huh... If you're gonna keep up, Mei, we're gonna have to do something extreme, too! Without changing the color, though. Maybe we could do it up, instead?

[Don't lose to this Haru guy, Koumei!!]

[dishevelment]

[Headtilt. Koumei looped his fingers through his immensly long ponytail and pulled at it slightly, as if thinking.]

You mean this doesn't count as 'up?'

[It was (mostly) out of his way, and that was good enough by him!]

[adornmental]

[He's lost to Haru just by virtue of not being Haru, in Kashuu's eyes... the #bias is real.]

It's kinda like, messy half-up? But I think he's talking about a real proper updo! It's totally different from just pulling it up into a ponytail.

[Obviously!!]

[roughcut]

[The battle of the pinks, Koumei vs Haru. Who will win???

(Neither because they probably just drink tea and chat like normal people.)]

Ponytails totally don't count, especially when it's that messy.

[Seriously, sometimes it looks like Koumei goes to bed like that and just never redoes it in the morning. He gestures with his hands, motioning at hair sitting way higher up on the head.]

A real updo's way more complicated... Like, you remember what Kougyoku did when her engagement got announced? Something like that!

[That hairstyle might be a bit much for a guy, though.]

[dishevelment]

[In fairness, Koumei probably did go to sleep with his hair tied up and not bother redoing it in the morning. That required work, and who honestly had the time for that?

But Kouha's suggestion may have actually made Koumei a little nervous. He recalled that hairdo quite well-- she had looked like an old hag far more mature than her 17 years, and it was a complicated hair style.]

...I don't believe that hairpins that ornate are really suitable for this.

[Say's the man who's Metal Vessel is a feathered fan]

[adornmental]

Hairpins? [HAIRPINS?? Kashuu loves hairpins, okay. The more ornate, the better! He claps his hands together, clearly delighted by this idea even though he doesn't know who Kougyoku is or what her engagement hairstyle was like.

CLASSY, HE'S SURE.]

Something like that would be nice! You can dress it down for daily wear, obviously.

[roughcut]

Yeah, she had all kinds of gold in her hair for it. That might be a little much for him, though...

[SUPER CLASSY.

He gives Kashuu a grateful smile. It's nice to have somebody with good taste on his side.]

But hairpins would be one of the better ways of holding it up. Don't say that before you've even tried it, Mei!

[dishevelment]

[Koumei cast the two of them a bemused look before idly twisting the stray locks of his ponytail between his fingers.]

Honestly, I never thought to give them a try. Our sisters were the ones who put those in my hair.

[adornmental]

Then we'll just do the same! It'll look really pretty, I bet.

[Which is always the endgoal that everyone should aim for, clearly!!]

[roughcut]

Yeah? If you've already had it done, it'll go that much easier! And if it looks bad, we'll just take it out and do something else. We won't let you go around looking dumb.

[Don't move the goal posts, Kouha!!]

[dishevelment]

[Oh gods, this was terrifying.]

Then I am at your mercy. Please, be kind to me.

[adornmental]

[MOVE THE GOAL POSTS, REWRITE THE RULES, they do what they want.]

We will be! Don't worry about that at all. You're in basically the best possible hands you could ever be in, you know!
