If Rapunzel Lost Her Hair, Is She Still Rapunzel? [ action/unintentioanl dictation]

[wishmadeinfire]

[Oh Paradisa. You think you had a small quiet after the storm, but it's all about to be over as the sound of a shriek of despair and shock and the cracking of glass, the tinkle of his it falling.]

Felix! Felix, come here!

[The scrape of a chair and the stamp of feet, the clicking of a door.]

Felix, I need you right now!

[He hurried through the suite and threw open the door and walked out into the hall when he did not immediately see Felix.]

FELIX!

[And what is the worry, you ask? 

It's not about what has appeared - it's about what has disappeared. In this case... Ashura's hair. Six foot of hair is gone from his head, leaving him perfectly bald. Seriously, there was a small shine on that cue-ball headed coming off the light in the hallway and even his ears felt a bit cold. Surely his neck did.]

Heavens - Felix!

[Because surely the wizard would know how to fix this, wouldn't he? Please? You have gone a step to far this time, Castle! You never mess with a man's hair!]
 

[ooc: loss start! Ashura will be bald for a week. Play nice everyone ~ ]

[He's happy to oblige, in this case. He even manages a small smile]

Really. And it should be over soon, right?

[wishmadeinfire]

Yes. But, Galadriel pointed out that the Castle might not allow me to wear something to cover my head....

[lord_wizard]

Oh...yes...that would follow with it's usual pattern. Still, have you tried? A shroud or a shawl perhaps?

[wishmadeinfire]

No, not yet.... I thought I would need help. I've never... pinned it without my hair before.

[lord_wizard]

[Hesitantly] Do you want try it now?

[wishmadeinfire]

I suppose.... would you help me?

_{[He stood, heading to their room]}

[lord_wizard]

Of course [And he follow!]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He went into the bedroom and went to their wardrobe, opening a lower drawer and drawing out a long, sash like object colored to match his current clothing selection. He turned to Felix and placed it on his head, beginning to wrap it like he would if he had hair, though it ended up being more a jumbled mess than anything without the hair to support the more delicate folds.]}

It looks frightening, doesn't it?

[lord_wizard]

[He frowned a little and reached out to take hold of the sash] I think perhaps you'll have to try something a little simpler this time.

[wishmadeinfire]

Then you do it and I shall watch in the mirror.

_{[He huffed and went to sit down in front of his vanity, touching Felix's lantern gift to him and sighing as it light, seeming to take extra comfort in it.]}

[lord_wizard]

[Felix silently picked up the sash, then paused to root around in the vanity for a pair of small pins. Standing behind the king, he draped the cloth over Ashura's head, then leaned forward to tug the ends down gently and pin the ends to his robes, leaving him with a simple sort of hood]

There.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[Simple. Not... something Ashura was used to, in his clothing, so had bypassed out of habit. He stroked it and sighed.]}

Anything is better than being utterly bald.

_{[His ears would droop a tiny bit, leaning back against Felix.]}

[lord_wizard]

[He wrapped arms around Ashura's shoulders and dropped his chin to cradle his lover]

It will be all right.

[wishmadeinfire]

I know. Hopefully no more than a week.

_{[He looked up at him and tried his best to smile, but this was traumatic for him.]}

You'll have to find something else to hold on to tonight.

[lord_wizard]

I believe I can improvise. [He smiled back]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[That smile made him feel a bit better and he turned in his chair, leaning more against him.]}

Thank you, Felix.

[lord_wizard]

It's nothing. While very lovely, your hair is just hair, and I will still care even if it doesn't grow back.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He looked up at him.]}

That is one of the sweetest things you've ever said to me.

[lord_wizard]

[His cheeks pinked a bit and he glanced away] It's true.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He reached up, drawing the other down to him and kissing slowly.]}

Still, it's sweet, thank you.

_{[It was helping him calm down, as the other could no doubt tell.]}

[lord_wizard]

[He smiled and slowly dropped to his knees, kissing his lover as he moved between his legs, wrapping arms gently around his waist and pressing close]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He laughed a bit at the other going to his knees, running his fingers through the thick hair and shoulders, leaning down to kiss him once more.]}

What are you up to ~?

[lord_wizard]

Nothing.

[He reached up to stroke Ashura's cheek and then leaned forward, his head resting against the king's chest]

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[He accepted that, holding him close, slowly stroking his hair, enjoying the silkiness of it, for a moment envious now that his own was gone.]}

You always have something, love.
