[Viridae Kabre]

59 Winter, 513AV
Neisidi Kabre's Home

Neisidi Smacked Viridae on the back of the head with a large brush made of bone before running it slowly through his thick silver hair, all the while Seivis was trying to resist the urge to burst out laughing.

"Stop moving Bitta, or the next blow will knock you cold. Then you won't be able to move."

"Sorry Mabdadi," He said as he shut one eye to resist his aunt's painful jerking.

"Just be still Viri, you Dra Bitta. We wouldn't even be doing this if you took better care of it." Seivis furrowed her brow and gave him a cross look.

"I DO take care of it, it just gets dry! But I wouldn't expect either of you to know what Syna's light does to hair." He sneered triumphantly as Seivis blushed. The two women had gone outside of their web's profession and as a result, spent a lot more time beneath the surface than anyone else in their family.

"Hush Bitta," Neisidi said as she struck the back of his head with the brush again. Viridae made a face, obviously skulking.

[Viridae Kabre]

Viridae

"You know," Seivis begain, pressing a claw to her lip, "You've been very complacant as of late. Are you feeling alright?"

"Its only because you follow me around constantly nowadays," He replied with a wince as his aunt pulled his hair back into a small ponty tail. Without a word of warning, she picked up a pair of thin scissors and snipped it off.

Upon feeling the now shorter hair fall in a mop around his ears, Viridae's eyes widened.

"Hey! what are-"

"Hush or it'll be your ear next."

Viridae frowned and picked a long silver hair from his lap. Neisidi went to work on the sides of his head next, cutting the hair a fair bit shorter, before trimming up the top a little. By time she was done, Viridae was left with a very neat cut, hair slightly longer on top, just enough to sweep it back away from his face, and significantly less on the sides, only about half an inch in length.

"Oh Viri, you look very handsome," Seivis said with a giggle.

"Give me the mirror," He replied grimly. Seivis held it to him and he looked over his now very well groomed head.

"Its very....Short," he said between clenched teeth.

"I think it makes you look older, more sophisticated," Neisidi replied with a smug grin on her face. The tall Symenestra woman ran long fingers through his hair affectionately.

"Thats all, get up," She said lightly, giving his shoulder a slight shove.
