[It feels a little silly to make such a request... and for something so simple too, but when Aerith asks, Tifa simply nods to confirm, and she hastily tries to make up an excuse. Well, not so much an excuse as it is reason for asking, but honestly? It's just one more "girly" thing that she's never had the pleasure of doing with another girl. Even Jessie would only brush her hair, maybe throw it into a ponytail when it suited her, but never a fancy braid.

The real excuse is knowing what it might feel like to have Aerith brush her fingers through it...]

My hair's so long I'm not even sure I could do it properly. I haven't braided my hair since I was a girl...

[Maybe around the age of eight, when her mother would do it for her but since then, Tifa never really bothered.]

You don't think it'll be too much?
