[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.

[spoken somewhat stiffly:] They didn't exactly give us an ample amount of time to pack before our initial team left Oska.

[scheduling, as it seems, isn't one of ALASTAIR's strong suits.]

Just one. I'll return it.

[digiorno]

You should take more than one. If you're fighting and you lose the single one you have you're going to be even more irritated than you are now.

[pummelling]

Lucky you, stocking up.

[fine FINE harno he'll oblige, ty]

How do you even have time to do... [nods head in direction of screen, aka a vague donut-directed gesture] that, anyway?

[digiorno]

I'm efficient. I'm not going to do anything less than perfectly and efficiently.

[To be fair, he's slightly more casual than usual here in Steel Ball Run land, but consider: standards?]

Why does it matter to you?

[pummelling]

[long silence.

he's gonna be very honest here.]

Because half the time I've been here, the dry air's screwed with my hair so much that all I can do is braid it and hope for the best.

[. . .]

Oh.

[..........]

Well.

[.....................]

I could help, if you wanted. Figuring out solutions, if there are any. I have a lot of practice with [pause] hair that doesn't want to cooperate.

[tfw magical girl hair transformation]

[pummelling]

That.

[why is hair so much???? why is thick hair so Much]

That'd be. Really helpful, actually.

[......he doesnt even Like this kid oh my god] So if you've got any suggestions to lay on me... I'll take 'em.
