[With the chaos of the fire over and the smoke cleared (literally and figuratively, really), Jin's settled into hanging around the Audentes campsite. He's helping teammates set up and maintain their camps, aiding townspeople in rebuilding, eavesdropping on all of your gossip, brainstorming wildly on how to deal with the Yeerks Taraxa, the like.

He's got a way more important thing to share with the 'net today, though.]

Um.

[Jin's sitting somewhere in the camp in front of someone's tent, looking a little sheepish-- and holding a mess of dark, unruly hair out of his face.

Help.]

Can I borrow a hair tie? None of the ones the Qorral sell are strong enough. [pause.] I've still got a lot of the ALASTAIR stipend, I'll pay you back with something from the trading post-- I just need something.

Silk? Wow. Does it have your name on it in rhinestones, too?

[whatshimadayou]

No. That would be stupid.

[pummelling]

As is keeping around a specific hair tie made out of silk, buddy.

[whatshimadayou]

Even I am capable of carrying an item of sentiment, fool.

[pummelling]

[hey guess who's nosy??? this guy]

So it's a keepsake? What's it from?

[whatshimadayou]

I cannot fathom a single reason to tell you.

[pummelling]

No, I'm not gonna make fun of you for this one. I am actually just curious.

[whatshimadayou]

You misunderstand. I do not care if you decide to mock or tease. But I owe you nothing in terms of my personal life, either.

What would be given must be earned, and you have earned nothing but my ire from me.
