[grandstanding]

Not today.

[thexfactor]

. . . No, not today.

[grandstanding]

And we can only do this one day at a time.

[thexfactor]

I know.

[grandstanding]

We can talk about it later.

[thexfactor]

. . . Okay.

[grandstanding]

[he kisses him lightly.]

[thexfactor]

[ kissing back ]

[grandstanding]

Think about it, at least.

[thexfactor]

I will.

[grandstanding]

[he's silent for a moment.]

The least they could have done was provided us with chairs.

[thexfactor]

I know. But that would be too much.

[grandstanding]

[he sighs, and moves to sit down on the ground next to Charles.]

[thexfactor]

[ . . . grins and pats his head ]

[grandstanding]

[huffs]

[thexfactor]

I couldn't help it.

[grandstanding]

I don't really mind.

...I was wondering. How long are you going to grow your hair?

[thexfactor]

Hm? I don't know. Why?

[grandstanding]

No particular reason. It's just gotten quite long.

[Erik's has grown out a bit since his age-up as well, but Charles had longer hair to begin with.]

[thexfactor]

I should get it cut . . . but how to trust anyone with a scissors.

[grandstanding]

You could wait until we get home, and find a professional.

[what's a little more scruff, at this point?]

[thexfactor]

That's true.
