Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Gotta play hairdresser... Something you obviously don't do much to yourself, with all that shag.

[She does not stick out her tongue but considers it...instead just leans forward so he can work]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Lucky you we ain't doing hair cuts. Then you'd really be in trouble.

[Pouring the warm water over her head, gentle; he angles his free hand against her forehead, to keep it from getting into her eyes]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Mmm...

[Shivers at the feel of the water over her shoulders, but leans into his touch nevertheless]

I finally end up with a mohawk?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not yet... but you could.

...lean back? Get comfy.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

I didn't already seem comfy?

[She leans back nevertheless, careful not to let the water slosh too roughly]

...Think I got the head for it?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

You could pull it off, I bet. You'd look badass.

[He squirts some shampoo into his hand and starts to work it in, very gently]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Mmm... Maybe.

[Contemplates this as he scrubs, sinking more into the feel of his hands for a long moment]

...You could get a punch perm. Blond pompadour'd be pretty wicked.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, you seen me lately? I don't got enough hair for a pompadour.

[He doesn't seem in any hurry, sudsing her hair up thoroughly, fingers scratching at her scalp]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Somewhat distant, eyes still shut]

...You could do it. Can just weave in some extra. No one'll know the difference.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, I'd know the difference, wouldn't I?

[Keeping it up longer than he really needs to, honestly]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Not stopping him, her thoughts seeming to slow a bit]

Your hair is your hair. Don't matter if you bought it.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Wouldn't it, like... feel different, though?

[His thumbs dig into the spot at the base of her skull, massaging softly]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Hhh...

[Her train of thought skids off as his thumbs press in, and she just makes a soft sound at the back of her throat]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He falls silent, as well, then, kneading into the spot]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She lets out a small sigh as he does, sinking further into his touch. Her expression is loose and easy, and if her eyes were open he might suspect they were rolled back with relief]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Keeps it up for a long few moments, just letting her enjoy it, before he pulls back at last to gently wash out the shampoo]

[Conditioner comes next, his fingers combing it gently through the wet strands of hair]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Another soft, soothed sound as she continues to melt into the tub]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[This takes a lot longer than it needs to, as well. Probably however long the bottle says to let the conditioner sit, this takes longer. But he massages her scalp, gentle - her temples - the tight spots at the base of her jaw, fingers slow and careful]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[By the time he's done she's more than half asleep, boneless in the water]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He rinses her hair out, just as gentle - reaches into the bath to pull the plug]

...c'mon, we better get you outta here and into bed.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She makes a little grumble of acknowledgement as the water drains away around her--gets as far as leaning towards the edge of the tub before taking a rest break. Of course, if ever he comes close, she cants towards him as if turning towards the light]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He can't quite suppress the soft smile as she curls in toward him - gets an arm around her, for support, and then wraps the towel around her, as well, begining to rub her dry]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Hums, pulling an arm up around his back and hooking her face into his shoulder]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[It lets him reach just about everything, to dry her off, and he makes quick work of it, gentle but efficient, toweling off both skin and hair. He has to pull back a little at the end, to get the parts lower to the ground, but he takes care of those, as well]

[When he's finally finished, softly:]

I'm gonna pick you up again, kay?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

...C'n walk.

[Which is neither a refusal in word nor tone. She reaches to keep contact with him regardless, too drained to pretend she wants anything else]
