[Privately, she thinks: don't cry again. She's cried twice already; a third time is pushing it. ]

Don't be. It's not like you're jumping down my throat.

[energeia]

I'll respect your wish.

[ See, because everyone else keeps telling her what to do. ]

If you'd like some company, I'm here.

[ Away from all the people she knows. From te demands from those who feel wronged, the expectations from the ones who love her. ]

[medals]

- D'you like gin?

[energeia]

[ A smile comes through. Warmth. ]

I don't drink, [ ...for the most part ] But I'll come with you.

[ To the tavern, she assumes. ]

[medals]

Ianthe and I are making gin moonshine. It'd be nice to have company.

[energeia]

[ Well. That'll make things easier. ]

I'd love to join.

Would you like me to style your hair?

[medals]

Billy's got me on this whole routine, but it'd nice to have braids, maybe. Have it out of the way?

[energeia]

[ Oh

Billy you say

:) ]

A routine? How lovely. You can tell me all about it.

[medals]

I have to scrunch my hair dry now, apparently.

[energeia]

How have you been finding it? Having any trouble with the steps?

[medals]

Have you seen the length of my hair right now? That's so much to scrunch.

[energeia]

Well — if you ever need a trim, you know who to ask for.

[medals]

Could probably do with one.

[energeia]

Just let me know when. It doesn't have to be at the shop, either.
