[ylfa is standing outside smexy salon and puppy play, looking at both. i assume smexy salon has some of those like old photos of various beautiful women in fancy hairdos and full 50s makeups. and then puppy play has puppies.
she's just looking back and forth, giving off the feeling of indecision...
she's wearing her red cloak but it's been washed and the dress she is wearing underneath looks a little pink. she's a big cleaner than she's been for the past couple weeks, but her braids are still matted tangles; she hasn't taken them out or brushed them since she's arrived.]

[ hmmmmm. kazuki may not be the best person to help with this, but... ]
The salon might be a little gentler on you. They'll have stuff to help loosen the tangles - maybe even the gentle shampoo, so it doesn't hurt if you get it in your eyes.

[she's! immediately embarrassed when he calls her out on her thought process.]
I actually go to fancy salons quite often.

[ the way he is absolutely taking this at face value because she is a little wolf girl who knows a frog prince and somehow in this weird setup it does make sense that a prince, frog or otherwise, would take her to fancy salons? it's a little surprising, maybe, but like, why not? sure. ]
Ah. My bad, then. [ ... ] You could always go see the animals when you're done, you know.
[ she clearly just wants to pet the puppies. who wouldn't? ]

[yeah it makes perfect sense, why she's nervous to go inside.]
If anything, this salon may not be fancy enough for my taste.

[ he doesn't pretend to understand the minds of tween girls. they are a mystery, and as such he is just bemused. ]
Well, tragic as it is, your fancy tastes will have to settle for the only option here. It's not like they can mess up braids.

Yeah, but...I was thinking it would be better to go to Puppy Play, probably. They might be better dealing with fur and claws.
[ puppy play... that name is killing him. ]
So try both and call it even. Claws and fur at the pet store, hair at the salon - easy. And then you can play with the dogs.

...Okay. You're not going to think it's weird or make fun of me if I get a dog bath, are you?
[ blinks in confusion? ]
No? Maybe if you were, like, totally human like me. [ there is no maybe about that - if she was not a wolf girl he would absolutely judge. ] I don't know, though, maybe it would help keep any fur from clogging the drains in your warehouse's shower?

You think I've been clogging the drains? Did Haru say something?
What? Why would he be talking to me about your shower drains? No. Longer hair just does that sometimes.
I promise no one's complained about your shower drains, at least not to me. My sister's hair is pretty long, too, so it happens at home sometimes - that's all.
Mm, an older sister. I was living with her before all this started.
[lol.
she's sitting outside the warehouse door, axe across her lap.]

[ well he understands that she doesn't want to be touched so he won't come and sit next to her or anything, but he will lean against the wall nearby. ]
You were right. This is fucked up.

[she does relax a little when he comes around.]
90%. [if only she could get it back down.]

It's frustrating. I want everything to be real, but... not this part. If anything has to be a lie, it should be this.
You shouldn't have to lose someone again.

Thanks, Kazuki.
[it does mean a lot that he cares.]
We're gonna be okay, though.

...You're handling this a lot better than I would.
You guys will probably be fine, in the end. But that doesn't mean we have to like how it goes, bad dream or not.

[she swallows and nods.]
I mean because we already decided we were going to save each other no matter what. So no matter what, I'm going to save them.

...I think I understand. [ he is such a normie so it only goes so far, but he's trying. ] If it were me, I think I'd want to do the same. But I wish none of us had to go at all.
Me too.
[she's not a normie, but she still hates this.]
