Gaius allowed her to but he sat stiffly; he hadn't expected her to go and touch it. It was very soft hair, sticking up in a sort of bed head style.
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
"I wish my hair was that soft," she sighed jealously, patting her own hair.

"You have perfectly fine hair." He sat up, rubbing his head self-consciously.

"You can style it many ways," Gaius pointed out. "And it has more volume than mine does."

(Probably about shoulder length but she always keeps it tied back in super tight pigtails so it seems shorter than it is.)
"What mean volume?"
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"It means how much hair you have in a certain amount of space. How thick your hair is, essentially."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
"Oh." She frowned and tugged on her pigtail. "But my hair is ugly."

"No it isn't!" Marcella wrapped her arms around her. "It's beautiful and curly!!! I want your hair."

Tasia worried her lip, looking at her friend. "Weally?"
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"Yeah! Except not in my heartbox." She gave her a grin. "You're super pretty."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
"You're pwetty too!" Tasia grinned, hugging her friend.
(This warms my heart. My niece a few years ago, not sure how old she was at the time -- 7? 8? was getting bullied by the other girls in her grade because her hair was "ugly" and I saw red)

(People keep bullying my brother cuz he wears Hawaiian shirts and long quirky socks and keeps his hair long. I wanna go fight them so bad cuz he's such a sweet dude)
"I know!" Marcella flipped her hair and giggled. Mattathias joined in the hug. "Am I pretty too?" he asked.
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
(Oh we had a lot of body positivity talks and snuggles don't worry haha)(god I fucking hate bullies just let people exist)
"Yeah! Tasia agreed eagerly, wrapping him up in the hug too. "We're all pretty."
