[While Kanan's hands remain busy -- close to half done with the braid -- she briefly stops talking to mull over the new information.] I guess some things will catch on, no matter where and when.

[Or maybe ideas of good hairstyles for preschoolers are common to different parents...? Eh, whatever.]

Her dog was smaller back then. Well, I say that, but the proportion of Chika to dog has been rather consistent as they both grew up. [Shiitake as a "small" dog was only so in terms of age.] And he wasn't out of his teething phase, so he kept chewing on stuff. We said he was acting more like a cat.

One day, I went to walk her to school and got the shock of my life... [Trailing off for dramatic effect.] Her dog was biting a clump of her hair and she didn't notice at all.

[ Maru can't help it. She bursts out in giggles at the mental image- trying very hard to contain herself, of course, and trying even harder to not move as to not get in the way of Kanan's handiwork. It mostly works? Sort of?

In between the giggling, she manages to wheeze out: ] How did she not notice that?

Like how I can put your hair in dreads and you won't spot it? [EYEBROW WAGGLE. Plus a flippant wink tossed at Hanamaru's reflection. ミ☆] You'd have to ask her for the answer.

[Dreads are an empty threat, the 'do she was working on is just a tiered fishtail. Another time...!]

The damage wasn't that nasty, but she still ended up with an obvious hole in the middle. She skipped school that day, and her mom cut off a big part to make the ends even. From then on, if anybody questioned the new look, her go-to response was that shorter hair is easier to keep.

[ gasp!! ] Maru isn't sure what a 'dreads' it, but surely you wouldn't, Kanan-chan? [ said a fair bit too lightly to sound entirely serious, but it's hard to tell whether she took that threat at face value or not ]

I see, I see! Hmmmm, say, you think Chika-chan will ever try wearing long hair again? Who knows what might have changed since then.

Wouldn't I? They'll suit you. [Add Dia's rapping and the supposedly "electronic" quality to Kanan's vocals and AZALEA's image shall be utterly ruined reinvented brand new.

Don't tempt her.]

Chika, though...she doesn't have much purpose or motivation anymore to grow her hair out. I'd say she's used to the way she looks now, too.

Oh -- [The proverbial lightbulb-going-off moment.] What if we let her try something new? A wig for styling, for example?

[ Puffing her cheeks and pouting. ] Kanan-chaaaan. [ :T ]

2/2

[treasurebooks]

Ah! Wig styling? For her to wear them, or simply for the styling itself?

[rebreathe]

[Under any other circumstances, she'd laugh and pat Hanamaru's head noncommittally. With her hands occupied, she has to settle for making funny faces, knowing full well Hanamaru can see them.]

Why not both? She can wear the wig, and also try new hairstyles using it. If she doesn't like how it turns out, at least her real hair stays unchanged.
