SETSUNA
[Lapis doesn't tend to bathe in the morning, but she had tired herself training way to late last night and so one in the morning was sorely needed. It helps that she wakes up stupid early as well, so when she gets there, it's practically empty. Except there is one other Hero there.
And while Lapis tends to be in the habit of covering herself at least a little bit, since she knows people are more fussy about nudity than she is, she only just holds the towel in her arms as she waves over at Setsuna.]
... Morning, Setsuna. [A-at least... she has a nice figure?? Even if she is badly scarred.Sorry for the trauma Setsuna]
LORD LIGHT
[Lord Light's hair is one of the many things about him that Lapis has always been curious about. There's never a strand out of place, and even during the expo his hair was as perfect as ever, despite all the chaos going on. Meanwhile, she's certain her head was resembling a birds nest by the end, though she was more focused on other things at the time.
Even now it looks like his hair is as perfect is ever, and Lapis squints her eyes from her corner of the bath, before shifting closer. She really wants to style it, but will he let her, what if it's something considered offensive where he's from or it's some kind of blasphemy... ]
... Hey, Lord Light, can I braid your hair? [Might as well just go ahead and ask!!]
KAVI
[Judging peoples hair care routines are things she never really tried to do, but sometimes, she just can't help it. Especially when they could have such nice hair, and instead only just do the bare minimum.
Which is why she is rather unimpressed when she notices how Kavi is just... using soap in his hair. It's almost painful to watch, and eventually she moves over to him, her expression unimpressed as she puts her hands on her hips.]
... Let me do your hair. [It's sound more like an order than a request...]
SION
[Now, Lapis isstupidly vainproud about her hair, but she could never imagine growing it out any longer as it is now. Or as long as, for examples, Sion's. She has no shame in admitting that his hair is amazing, but all that hair must take forever to take care of. And probably requires least a small army, something like that.
And while she doesn't really know Sion that well yet, she does want to try and remedy that. So what better way to do that than to offer to help with his miles and miles of hair!]
... Do you need any help? [Said with a finger pointing at his majestic mane of hair, her other hand cradling her chin as she sits on the edge of the bath.]
TIERIA
[It's one thing to judge peoples hair care and see them do something like put their hair in a bun afterwards, but it's another thing when the hair care is awful but their hair is still nice. That is something Lapis finds more mystifying than annoying.
Like with Tieria. Considering Tieria's general attitude, things like fussing over his hair is something she can't imagine him doing, but his hair is still always nice somehow! Maybe he's just born with it or something...]
... You're only using soap, how're you able to still make your hair look nice? [She wants to know your secrets Tieria!]
REGENE
[Lapis has only see Regene and Tieria together a few times, but it's enough to make it clear that there is a very big resemblance between the two. She's pretty certain that the two are identical twins or something like that. Beyond their attitudes and hairstyles, they are pretty much the same.
Which is when she spots Regene in the baths, an idea comes to mind. One that will probably piss off Tieria, but when Lapis has an idea, she tends to roll with it not matter the consequences.]
... Hey, Regene, can I try something?
/slams into!
consumeddevoted to the dismantling of the thick plait of his hair, his fingers (made swift with alacrity and deft with grace!) unbraiding the finer sections (one, two, three, four, five...) before addressing those at the small of his back, and by the time his tresses have been well and truly free from their bindings, a voice (and it is a gentle, thoroughly welcome voice, familiar in its soft intonations!) reaches his ears. ]Lapis. [ Is it awkward to happen upon a female companion in the bath? Sion wouldn't at all know, for at the royal military academy, he'd shared barracks with men and women alike. He is only glad to see her. ] I fear for how clumsy I must look, for you to be troubled with the notion of assisting me.
[ But could Sion ever truly be clumsy...? Rather, he is a hair's breadth away from being overwhelmed, even if nothing of the sort would ever be belied by his expression—as always, his smile is bright, and as always, his eyes are warm and lambent of their own accord.
Voice lilting with a tease, he considers the shampoo which he'd purchased under the insistence of a shopkeep: a concoction of castile soap, rose petals, and a mysterious something more which would make his long locks shine more radiantly than any other's, or so he'd been promised! Not that he cared for such things, of course (he is a King who has no love for finery, and it had once been widely renowned that his chambers were the most spartan, the most utilitarian set of rooms upon the castle's grounds!), so long as the product cleaned and cleaned well. ]
Please do tell me the reality is nowhere near so appalling as the image in my mind's eye.
/catches!!
... If it was any trouble, I wouldn't have offered. Plus I'm not sure if it's possible for you to be clumsy.
[It's said both as a joke, despite her usual deadpan - though her eyes light up for a second - and an observation. Even during the fight at the expo, he constantly seemed so composed, his movements smooth and without hesitation. But she quickly shoves away those memories, not wanting to dwell on them longer than necessary.
Then she gives an amused huff, squinting her eyes at his mane of hair, before tilting her head slightly. Her hands shift to rest on her lap as she lets her legs lazily kick at the bath water, her expression almost amused for a second.]
Don't worry, your hair doesn't look like it's about to become a tangled mess. I just figured with that much hair, you could use some help so that you aren't here for ages.
/koalas!!
[ —on the bridge of this theatrical pause, Sion seamlessly moves to take his place beside her, maintaining a comfortable distance as he settles atop the ledge of the bath, legs lowered into the pleasantly warm water. In such close proximity, it is impossible for him, to not take notice of the scars which adorn her skin, and though he does not comment, he does take note, just as he takes in the gentle fall of the Lady's dark tresses over the slender line of her shoulder. ]
I would offer you the very same. [ For in his hands is the jar of shampoo, and he is sure that if she'd not spied him, Lapis would have enjoyed the leisure of a bath gone uninterrupted. ] By the time we've finished with my hair, I am certain that you will have had your fill of the bath altogether, so allow me first to assist you.
[ If she would have him, of course. And if the style of his own hair is any indication (always, it is perfectly plaited, and always, it is lustrous with shine), he very much knows what he's doing. ]
/clings too!!
... It's a task I'm willing to undertake.
[It's nice, being able to joke around like this, especially after what happened at the Expo. Despite how flat she tended to be, Lapis vastly preferred casual, laidback situations than anything remotely serious. So being around Sion, who just goes with her jokes, is something she greatly appreciates, even if she may suck at showing it.
Though as he smoothly moves next to her, her expression turns faintly curious - not looking at all bothered about how they're both naked. If anything, she's more surprised at his offer, her eyes widening as she blinks up at him.
There's a few moments of silence, and while she trusts him not to totally ruin her hair since it seems like he knows what he's doing, she's still a bit stunned - she's not used to people offering to do things for her. But it doesn't sound unappealing, frankly it's the opposite, so she soon nods. Even though the surprise still lingers on her expression.]
Ah, alright. As long as you don't try to find a way to get out of me doing your hair next. [And she's quick to cover the surprise with another deadpan joke.]
no subject
He cannot help but be startled, in turn, by the joke which follows suit. As long as you don't try to find a way to get out of me doing your hair next, she's said, and for an instant Sion well and truly fears that she might have discovered his too-nefarious plan! The fact of the matter is that Sion Astal has always been rather poor at receiving the well-intentions of others, for he is no one so deserving of them. But while he would readily call Lapis friend, they are not well enough acquainted for her to know of his terrible inclination, and so Sion decides to return: ]
Far be it from me, to ever dream of doing such a thing. Even if I were to run, I am certain a Lady of your caliber would be sure to catch me.
[ Smiling, laughing, foolishly trading jokes with friends—this is normalcy, and it is something which the Hero King values more than anything else. ]
Into the bath with you, then. [ Gesturing openly to the water, Sion urges her on, and if she should so wish to discard her towel, she should feel free. By and large, Sion's presence is calming: when he looks to Lapis, she is all that he sees. ] I think I'll keep my perch.
[ And as she dampens her hair, he'll take a portion of shampoo into his hands, emulsifying the product as he works it into a lather—]
Here.
[ —and reaches for her. ]

When Lapis approaches him, he takes a step back out of courtesy. Her question however, throws him off a little. ]
Huh? [ What does she means make it nice? ] I wipe it dry?
[ Yes, Tieria, that's definitely hair care there. ]
no subject
Even if he has been fainting a lot here...And the answer was not one she wanted to hear! Though it's honestly not surprising, because it is Tieria.]
... Usually people have to use a bunch of products to make their hair nice like yours. You don't use any? [What is this blasphemy.]
no subject
What products? Oh! That! ]
I use shampoo? Or soap. I don't really care which as long as they clean properly.
[ No? That's all he's ever uses, really. ]
no subject
And that still isn't the answer she wants Tieria!]
... I mean, things like conditioner or hair treatment. [She glances over the pile of stuff she brought to the baths for her hair, reaching over and then showing one of the conditioner bottles to him.]
Stuff like this.
[She refuses to believe his hair is naturally that fabulous.]
no subject
Never used any. [ Turning his attention to the rest of the bottles she brought with her, he raises a curious brow at them. ]
Are those all yours? Why do you have to use so many things on your hair?

Not that he cares, nor that it matters. He bathes pretty fast too, given how his hair never really changes shape and the way water just flows off it as if it repelled the substance.
When Lapis speaks to him, he would turn - expression calm and composed as ever. ]
Yes, you may.
[ It's not blasphemy. Don't worry. ]
ehehe
What's more important is that Lord Light said yes!! That's enough to get a smile to appear on her face, nodding as she hops out of the bath, shifting to sit on the edge near where he is so that she can better reach.]
... Thank you. I'll do my best to be gentle. [Though would it even hurt if she accidentally pulled on his hair... Well, she's not planning to find out, so best to be as gentle as she can!]
no subject
[ He settles himself into a relaxed stance, body perfectly still. He doesn't need to breathe unless to talk, so it's easy for him.
What will she make, he wonders idly. If anything, it's an experience that he wishes to have. ]
no subject
Instead she reaches out to gently start to part his hair into sections, thinking about how she wants to braid it before an idea comes to mind. It might be a little complicated, but his hair is long enough for it - and she tends to bring pins and hairbands with her when she goes to take a bath anyway, for when she needs to tie her hair up.
Time to get started then, and she divides his hair before she starts to weave the first braid.]
... Will your hair end up going back to normal after a while? [Since it always seems to settle perfectly back into place no matter what.]

Or he showered at the red light district. It turns out they actually do have nice showers.So when he hears Lapis' voice, he tenses and looks over his shoulder with an almost comical expression of befuddlement. ...Why does Lapis want to wash his hair for him? ]
Why? Am I missing some spots?
no subject
... No, it's because your hair care sucks. Your hair could be really nice and fluffy if you used the right products.
[And Lapis definitely has the right ones! So there's no way she plans to let Kavi leave without first getting some fluffy hair.]
no subject
Okay, no, still around his hips. Good. ]
You sure you can pull that off? [ Was that a playful challenge, Lapis? Yes it was! ]
no subject
So that playful challenge gets a quiet, amused huff - a smile appearing on her face for a second.]
... Of course. Your hair is going to look amazing when I'm done with it. [Then she motions to the spot in front of her, shifting to sit by the edge of the bath.]
So move over here and I'll get started.
[No escape now, Kavi.]

Today, he obviously isn't. That's why he insists on staying at the corner... When Lapis approaches him, he starts unconsciously huddling. He keeps himself low, burying himself further under the steamy water to hide himself more effectively. At this point, only half his fluffy head is visible. He's trying his best not to look at her direction, even as she speaks to him. Maybe his face is a little red. Just a little, okay!! Back at home, the boys and girls had their own locker rooms... Either that, or they'd simply change in their own rooms. He really isn't used to this. But of course, he wouldn't ignore her on purpose. So he's going to be returning a greeting... ]
Um. Morning...
no subject
That would explain why he's turning a bit red, but that could be from the water too, since only half of his head is visible now from how he's sunk himself into it. So she just blinks at him for a moment, tilting her head before glancing down at the towel in her hands, and then back over to Setsuna.]
... Do you want me to cover up? [Even now she sounds way too casual, as if this is a totally normal thing to be asking.]
no subject
No... Do not mind me.
[ Go ahead and bathe in peace, Lapis! At least she has guarantee that he won't be staring at her. ]
no subject
... I don't want to make you uncomfortable.
[That's all she says as she sits at the edge of the bath, dipping her feet into the water as she glances over at Setsuna once more. Shifting to rest her chin on her hand as she hums thoughtfully, an idea coming to mind. She imagines it'll probably surprise him, but Lapis is never one to really hold back, or be vague about what she wants to say.]

[ Personally, Regene enjoys company in the bath. It's such a relaxing environment that makes it easy to get to know people. That is if they're comfortable as well. It doesn't seem to be a problem for her. ]
no subject
... I want to see how much you resemble Tieria if I straighten your hair.
no subject
[ He likes the way she thinks, so he'll indulge her. His wavy locks are a point of pride for him, but for a temporary experiment, he doesn't mind a change. She'll find they are in fact identical. The only difference is Regene's more delicate build and lack of certain anatomical features. ]
