That sounds useful...

[It was, wasn't it? Despite everything, Ruu had an attachment to her hair, enough she had not cut it like man of the other children did during their time in Namekawa. Even when her now ex-friends questioned why the Commander didn't cut their hair like they did, she just shrugged it off.]

There's not a lot of hostile groups left other than the Megurigaoka Tower and Prison guys, so people grabbing your hair isn't a big problem anymore.

[She paused, before writing again]

Neechan, has your group had to fight real people yet?

[She wasn't trying to make the tension rise again or anything, but it was a legitimate question that had been bothering her...]

[serrata]

[ Yuuri's hand paused, but only for a second. It was as though a chip in her guard had been momentarily jarred, but then just as quick as she'd been startled out of it, she regained her composure and finished working her way through Ruu's hair, trailing her fingers right down to the soft, wispy tips of it. ]

No, we haven't.

[ She doesn't say not yet because even though she knows it's an inevitability, she doesn't want to acknowledge it out loud, at least not yet. ]

But don't worry about that. Okay? Whatever happens in the future, we'll get past it. We've got you with us now, haven't we?

[littlestsurvivor]

[Ruu wanted to say something when she said that. How safe had her sister and friends been to not fight anyone until now? That explained a lot to her already... like how even hunting seemed like something odd for them. But her neechan told her not to worry about that for now... yeah. She could worry about that later.]

Yeah you got me!!! I'm really strong, so I can help fight!

[Her smile was innocent, as she misunderstood what Yuuri was trying to say. Fighting, survival was just so ingrained into her now, it was her first response. She stiffened a bit as Yuuri worked on the knots and tangles in her hair. Ruu's hair was so beautiful before, it was a shame to see it like that...]

[serrata]

[ Yuuri doesn't quite know how to respond to that – so, as she's learning to do, she simply smiles and let the sentence hang in the air, unanswered. She's probably going to pay the price for this later, but for now... she just wants to hang onto this quiet moment, for as long as she can. ]

I'm not tugging on your scalp, am I? I thought it'd be a good idea to get out the worst of the tangles before I started with the brush.

[littlestsurvivor]

It's OK, neechan! Just a little but I'm OK. [She happily wrote. Yeah, she was tugging a little, but a little discomfort was the norm nowadays. She just... wanted her hair to not be so messy now. She had to admit, she did miss having conditioner, despite what she said before...]

[... How many more things would she realized she had missed that she had decried as useless, she wondered? Would she become nostalgic for the world gone away, again? In fact... being like this again, she couldn't help but remember something.]

Remember when you tried giving me a haircut when I was smaller and how mad mom got when she saw it?

[Even in a world like this, she could tease her sister with embarrassing incidents from the past, right?]

[serrata]

[ That really gives Yuuri pause – in fact, it startles a laugh out of her, unguarded and unfiltered. It was such a long time ago that Yuuri herself had forgotten it and even if she hadn't, she never would've expected Ruu to remember it. So much time has passed and so much has happened that thinking back to the times before almost feels like she's trying to just play pretend, but she knows that if Ruu remembers it, then it has to be true. ]

I was so proud too. I thought they'd be so happy to see that I'd done it all by myself and they didn't have to worry about taking you down to the hairdressers. I'd even gone and gotten her best scissors to make sure it was cut nice and clean.

[ She giggles to herself, gently working her fingers through a particularly stubborn knot. ]

And it was a very clean cut. I'll stand by that. It just wasn't particularly... even.

[littlestsurvivor]

Half my hair was longer than the other half and not divided either! [Ruu giggled at the memory, sighing as her sister continued to work on her hair, wincing as her sister had to work on a rather tough knot. And then, she sighed.]

I don't remember mom much anymore. Was she nice?

[It was sad, but true. The Wakasas were so absent so often... by the time she was seven, Ruu didn't expect to see them at her birthdays anymore; and indeed, the last two had been missed. And from the looks of it, it wasn't like... there was going to be any more birthday parties in the future. But still... Ruu had always hoped there would be more chances to bond with them when they were older, but here she was; asking her older sister if their parents were actually nice, not having enough memories off them to build an opinion.]

Do you think they're alright?
