[It doesn’t take Aerith very long to track down her hairbrush and when she’s back on the scene, it’s nice to see Tifa taking her advice. Aerith moves to join her, though gives her some healthy distance, taking a moment to really note the length of Tifa’s hair. It really is long. No wonder it’s easier just to wear it in a lower ponytail. Anything else would be time-consuming and incredibly difficult to do without help.

But if Tifa’s interested in styling more, Aerith may just have to make that happen.

With a great deal of care, she gathers up locks of black and pulls her hairbrush through the ends before working her way gradually up. It’s the best way to find tangles and remove them without causing too much discomfort. Or so Aerith has always thought.]

Pointers, hm? [She asks thoughtfully, wondering if she really does know anything she might be able to pass along.] I don’t know that I know very much, but since her hair’s a bit shorter, maybe a french braid? I wonder if it’s long enough for cute little pigtail braids…

[It’s so hard to tell. She’s sure when she last saw Marlene, the girl had her hair pulled back into a ponytail.]

Nothing hurts, right? If it hurts, you have to tell me. I’m trying to be as careful as I can be.
