Video: Day 22

[maxwellsdaemon]

Uh, hi...

[Duo gives a slightly lopsided, almost nervous looking smile. He lifts one hand in a brief wave and then sighs.]

Look, this is gonna sound dumb. But does anyone have a hair tie? Even a ribbon?

[He holds up the remains of his hair tie, clearly snapped into two pieces and gives another sad sigh.]

That's a bad sign... Damn thing flew across the room!

Uh yeah, if anyone can stop by cabin A in sleeper 4 with something I can tie my hair with, you'll have a bestfriend for life!

[Duo gave a cheerful laugh.]

Little bit much, yeah.

[Not ever having had a family before, an actual family with parents and stuff, Duo had no idea but he could hazard a few guesses at least.]

[marriedanidiot]

[ Nerdanel smiles fondly at Duo ]

Well, either way, we have avoided that hiccup on this occasion!

[ Although she thinks privately that Duo would look very nice in House braids ]

[maxwellsdaemon]

Sure did! But c'mon, the look on their faces would have been something special.

[He laughed again when he tried to imagine it]

[marriedanidiot]

[ She laughs ]

Well... we still can, if you want.

[maxwellsdaemon]

Oh no no, it's alright! [He smiled as he shook his head.] This is just fine, I'm just a little shit and can't help imagining the shock on their faces.

But this is great, 'Danel!

[marriedanidiot]

[ Her smile gentles again at the nickname ]

You're welcome, Duo. And if you ever want to, you have but to ask!

[maxwellsdaemon]

Maybe I will...

[Just not now. He was enjoying the new style he'd been given and was just getting used to it. He wanted to show Trowa! The look on his friends face was going to be priceless!]

[marriedanidiot]

[ She smiles fondly at him ]

Enjoy flummoxing everyone with your new hair style!

[maxwellsdaemon]

That's the reaction I live for! [He laughed, it was way closer to the truth than he'd care to admit though.]

[marriedanidiot]

[ She laughs fondly ] Alright then. I'll head off and leave you to it, shall I?

[maxwellsdaemon]

Uh yeah, and thanks again!

[Duo moved to get the door for her, opening it with a smile]

I'll see you soon!

[marriedanidiot]

[ She cannot resist the gentle hair ruffle, finger brushing through his bangs and then tucking a few wayward wisps back into the braid ]

Have fun, Duo!

[maxwellsdaemon]

[Duo's cheeks pinkened slightly, his grin widening. He wasn't usually someone who cared for fussing... But there was something oddly comforting about the way Nerdanel did it.]

You too, 'Danel!
