"I'll believe it when I see it."

He doubts he would even do such a thing, but he doesn't say that. But he does watch him retreat into his shell once more, shaking his head. He's not a therapist-- he'll let Shrike figure out that Sandalphon doesn't really care.

"I'm not stupid."

Apparently Sandalphon's remarks are getting under his skin a little.

"I can't help if it gets messy again right away!"

Well, wearing the hood isn't helping. He used to mostly live away from other people, so he'd only needed to wear it up when going somewhere populated. That, and he still doesn't know about things like shampoo. The idea of special soap just for hair is new to him.

More raised eyebrows.

"That's because you're not taking care of it properly." he starts, hands on his hips. "It's tangled and clearly damaged. The more you keep that up, eventually it won't recover."

Sandalphon doesn't bother mincing his words. He really is doing this because he cares.

The good news is, whether intentionally or not, Sandalphon's managed to distract him from the matter of someone seeing what he looks like.

"What are you talking about?" He's still pretty indignant though. "I straighten it out when I can, and I just said I wash it."

What else is one even supposed to do? Not to mention Shrike couldn't have afford even nice combs or such prior to coming to Johto. He's just done his beat with what limited options he's always had.

"No wonder it's littered with split ends."

Sandalphon is definitely going to spoil him with good hair care products. That much was a given. "For now, just keep that hood down so it could air dry when you do clean it, at least."

[fayblood]

"Split ends?"

Do introduce him to the wonders of modern hair care and such products. Shrike may not realize it yet, but he'll definitely appreciate it. Though, getting a proper trim is a whole other matter that will doubtless need to be addressed, too...

Though, the talk of leaving his hood down does give him a little pause.

"... Do I have to?"
