( she doesn't get to do this enough, doesn't take the time to do it to herself. having Faith to practice on-
it's nice. relaxing, in its own way. )
Is he a lali ho? ( she can't resist asking that, having met and agreed with both of Faith's other statements. Wanda seemed nice enough when they talked and Henry is a good person. )
[Faith laughs. Yes, long live lali ho, what a good term.]
Don't know! Didn't talk to him enough to find out. But we did talk about where we're both from. His world's got dragons and these monsters called eidolons. He says those are summons. Now that I'd love to see.
Couldn't have got some of them. ( no, of course not. they might be helpful in getting them out. it isn't that strange, if you think about it. not when the so called clear-cut lines between good and evil were never so clear cut at home.
but enough of that. have a mirror, Faith. ) Here. Have a look. ( she even brought a second to do that whole 'hairdresser showing you the back of your head' thing. )
[Nah, their luck's not that good, based on how it is back home. But Faith's never solely relied on luck No, you've got to make your own way with all that's available to you.
She takes the mirror Kate offers her and turns her head to look at the braids, then angles it with Kate's mirror to look at the back. From the moment she first lays eyes on the braids, Faith's smile goes brighter than the underground sunrise.]
Nothing. ( it's been nice to get a chance to do something like this, something so normal. it's been a long time, even before coming down here. ) Don't go ruining it in th' caves or owt. ( :P )
[With almost childish glee, Faith moves behind Kate and starts to work on a simple braid, but not before combing her fingers through the hair. Pink, soft, so pretty.]
If I'd met you when I was little, I'd 'ave wondered if your hair tastes like candy floss.
Gonna hang 'em up in the living room, unless Carlisle doesn't want that.
[He can be a bit prickly about things Faith wouldn't even think twice about. Also, he's religious. If there's some religious reason for no pictures in the common areas, she'll keep it to her room. She likes to tease her friends, not to be rude to them.]
Yeh, I'm with ya. [Faith chuckles, running her fingers through Kate's hair before continuing with the braiding.] Glad I got 'em when Delight and Hope played with the Door. Good seein' Jay, too.
[In a weird way, the whole thing gives her hope that anything's possible. That maybe they can find a way to open the Door on their own and come and go as they please. Wouldn't that be good?]
( ahhh, bless. when they're home - let's think when - she's gonna have to come over when he's around. )
Not surprised. ( Jay seems to take to most things easily. he doesn't really bother to worry when something goes wrong. Kate's not sure she's ever seen him stressed, actually. )
True enough. ( she's never really tried to get settled here, kept everything as spartan as possible in her flat, her room. it's not like there's exactly great interior decorating here.
but, after months, it gets harder to draw certain lines. it's harder to let yourself ignore people, when they're all here because of the same thing. when you're all playthings. )

[Faith laughs, tugging gently on Kate's hair as she starts on the braid. One long one down her back, pink and pretty.]
Pink's good on you, I like it. Plus it looks nice next to mine in pictures.
