Re: day 21

( small nod. )

That makes both of us. Well... I would miss the people here, but still...

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

...Mm. I'd miss you guys. But I know we all have things to do back home. It's not like we can help that.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

It's unfortunately true. Finding our way home is the best solution, but if we could find a way to still be connected somehow... well, that would be ideal.

( exhales. smiles! )

Thank you, for helping me learn more about myself.

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

[sits up, smiling, and ruffles his hair]

Anytime. I'm always here to help with whatever you need. We can add "find a way to keep in touch when we go home" to the list while we're at it.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

Mehhh. ( he withstands the ruffling... but he does not look pleased! ) Ruffle my hair again and you'll be sentenced to brushing my hair every morning...!

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

Oh no, what a terrible punishment.

[ruffles his hair again (but lighter this time, since Perci doesn't like it)]

Re: day 21

[terraria]

That's it! I hope you like brushing as much hair as I am tall!

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

Don't regret it if I do a bad job~

[this is a bluff, he will spend three hours combing his hair if he has to]

Re: day 21

[terraria]

Thankfully there is no one in the pasture I care about looking good in front of.

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

[snorts]

Somehow, that feels like a scathing review of the pasture as a whole.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

Well, the only people I have an interest in have already seen me at my worst, there's no coming back from that.

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

[scoots out from under his wing to go find a hairbrush so he can attempt to clean up Perci's hair]

They've also seen you at your best. And if you like someone it's important to see the best and worst parts.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

Mmm I don't think I've seen any bad parts yet.

( he will sit still for brushing... )

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

[he will brush it until it is silky smooth, careful to get out the worst of the knots and not yank on his hair as he goes.]

None at all? But so many of us do stupid stuff here all the time.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

Stupid isn't necessarily bad if there's intent behind it.

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

[chuckles]

Isn't that the perfect out? We usually all have good intentions. You're being too nice to everyone.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

Well...

Killing ourselves to help Bluebell was something most of the pasture sees as "stupid", but we had a legitimate plan for it. "Stupid" is just too subjective of a word.

Reckless, cruel, perhaps... I have not seen much of that either, funnily enough. Well - reckless, sure, but...

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

[shakes his head]

I don't think that was stupid. Hmmmm, you're right, then. Some of it might be plenty reckless, but there's always a good reason behind it.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

Exactly.

... do you want me to brush your hair too?

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

I don't have a lot of hair to brush. But, if you want to, I won't say no.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

It still feels nice, I think...

( grabby hands for the brush. )

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

[hands offers up the brush and shifts so Perci can get at his hair easier]

Does it? I usually just brush my own hair.

Re: day 21

[terraria]

( well, he's going to perch up and gently brush his hair back, then forward, just to make sure that the oils in his hair and scalp are properly distributed. yeah, perci is that kinda beauty queen. )

I think it feels prickly in a good way. A bit like when your leg or arm falls asleep.

Re: day 21

[mykidisthebest]

[he is not used to anyone doing this for him; he sits up straight, and very still so he doesn't mess up Perci's work]

Like when your leg falls asleep? Really?

Re: day 21

[terraria]

Kind of? It makes me shiver some, anyway. Like goosebumps, I think they're called?

Not that I know why they're called that...
