... I don't like change all that much either. I just want things to stay as they are.

[This pocket watch is nice. Black might like it, and it's something nice to keep her own hands busy.]

But putting that aside, if I made you something, would you wear it?

[feistytrader]

It's not change in general, it's...

[...It's time to change the topic, apparently.]

Yeah, I would.

[barredheart]

Just wondering. I don't have any skills like that, but it'd be nice to keep my hands busy somehow, so maybe I'll have something for you by the time your birthday rolls around again.

[A nice sweater that looks exactly like his jacket, maybe.]

[feistytrader]

...If you made me something, it would be really important. I'd want to wear it all the time.

[He can't, of course, because he has a job and a uniform, but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't want to.]

[barredheart]

[Well, now she definitely has to work hard to learn how to make clothes. Look forward to dates in the future wear her fingers are covered in bandages.]

Even if it didn't look very nice?

[feistytrader]

Even if it was the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

[It would be something special for him from White, and it's not as if he gives a flying fuck about what anyone thinks of what he wears in the first place.]

[barredheart]

[HMMMMM.]

Okay then. I'll hold you to that, Silver, no matter what it is you'll wear it.

[Pocket watch gotten, this is definitely her own gift for Black. Though she knew it'd be easy for her to pick out something. Time for Silver.]

Even if I manage to make it change colors with your moods. There's fabric for that, I think... or I can see if I can order some to be made for me.

[feistytrader]

...Don't be mean.

[That is totally mean. His emotions are visible enough without him being a multicolored mess all the time.

But as for a gift for Black... Huh. What colors would he look good in? Greens and blues?...]

[barredheart]

[... He looks nice in reds, too. Anything but black. That boy wears it too much as is and he's gonna die in summer if that's an option. Also, they totally need to give him pants that let his legs breathe.]

You did pretty much give me free rein on it. But I'll try not to be too mean since I like you.

[feistytrader]

[...White shirt, light blue jacket, bright red pants. What do you think, White?]

Thank you.

[barredheart]

[This looks like a patriotic mistake.

White loves it.]

You're welcome. Also, you're so lucky Black's nice enough to feel obligated to wear this at least once in his life.

[feistytrader]

His clothes are boring. He should at least have something fun to wear.

[barredheart]

I tell him the same thing and he says he's just comfortable in what he's got! Here I am, keeping up in the latest trends of Verens, and he looks like something that crawled out from under the bridge. Or a college dorm room.

[... It's the same thing in the end, honestly.]

[feistytrader]

...At least you shine in comparison.

[Or something like that.]

[barredheart]

... Buy me some drab clothes, I'm going to let him have a day to shine sometime so everyone can realize how handsome and charming my brother is.

[Because he is he also just needs to... get out there some. Like she does.]

[feistytrader]

Will do.

[Operation: make Black shine is in effect! ...White's still getting cute clothes, though, just not as eye catching ones.]

[barredheart]

[You are a blessing among men. No woman should be without cute clothes.]

I guess I'll put off cutting my hair for now, too. That'd be too noticeable if I'm trying to let Black have a chance in the spotlight.

[feistytrader]

...You're going to cut your hair?

[This is news-]

[barredheart]

I was thinking about it. I usually let Black trim it, but it's more of a pain here than it was back in Hellsalem's Lot.

[Since she's around more places and there's disasters she's actually around for instead of safe in a hospital. Getting her hair caught in something would be bad.

The air gets a little more static-like without her actually giving off sparks this time, a softer nervous energy as she plays with the pocket watch.]

... Do you... think I'd look weird with shorter hair? I had it when I was younger, around here, [with a motion to her chest,] but I pretty much started to let it grow out when I was a little younger than you.

[feistytrader]

I don't think you'd look weird. You have a cute face. You'll look good with whatever hair length you want.

[He has a super cute girlfriend. That's just an objective fact.]

Do you want to cut it that short, or leave it longer? [Or cut it even shorter?]

[barredheart]

[Thanks for the vote of confidence, honey.]

That's a good question. I don't know, actually. I want to still be able to put my hair up... but if I have it too short and do that, I'll look even more like a kid than I do now.

[The pains of being short with good genes.]

And if I cut it all off, I'll look like my brother from behind. There's no getting around that.

[The pains of being a twin.]

So maybe if I give up on my dreams of putting them up the way they are now, I think I'd like it to be around my shoulders? Maybe.

[feistytrader]

...Try cutting it to here first.

[He puts a hand on White's back to show the length he means; it's somewhat down her back, but also significantly shorter than what she has right now.]

That should be easier to manage. If you don't like it, you can always cut it shorter.

[barredheart]

[... White'll actually take her hair out of their ties and bunch it at the measured spot, humming softly. fear the length]

That's an idea. I wonder if there's a place that'd like to have all of it for wigs or something, since otherwise that's going to be a lot of hair going to waste.
