[He's been here for, what? Not even a week. Plenty of time to get the lay of the not-glitched out land and find this very convenient communal rock.

That he promptly ruins.]

Looking for some scissors! Preferably sharp enough to cut hair.
Deliver to Keith and Shiro's shack but don't hand them over to either of them, they'd probably just throw them away.

You'll know who's the right guy.

I'm not letting you anywhere near my hair with a pair of scissors. I'll end up with some awful bowl cut or something.

- Keith

How DARE you. I would never do that to another person. Not even you.

XOXO

You know your hair is not that different from mine, right? Well, was. And I like being able to tie it back out of my way.

That is the most insulting thing you've ever said to me. My hair has never looked that bad.

I bet it's softer, too.

XOXO

For the last time. It DOESN'T look bad!

So??

- Keith

Do you even have a mirror on this island?

And soft hair is important! Soft hair is healthy hair.

XOXO

No.

Fine. Whatever. Still don't see how letting it grow out is any sort of problem.

- Keith

Then you can't talk about how it looks.

Do you want your hair to just be a knotty, wild mess that gets tangled on every low-hanging branch?

XOXO

I can still see my reflection in water.

You're acting like I don't even wash it. I take care of it. Who would be stupid enough to let their hair get caught like that?

- Keith

A distorted reflection isn't an accurate reflection.

Please tell me you don't wash it with salt water, at least. Please.

XOXO

Still means I can see myself.

Why would I? These waters have all sorts of things in them. Gross.

- Keith

Still doesn't count.

And I don't know why you would! You don't exactly seem like the kind of guy who cares about how damaging salt water is. Maybe being in the wild has completely destroyed your hygiene. Anything could happen!

XOXO

Lance. I'm not an animal. Living out here makes it harder, but that's it.

And there are big predators in the ocean. I'm not about to give them a shot at me. Unless I'm planning to drag one home for curing and smoking.

- Keith

You've never been very good at taking care of yourself.

[Just sayin'.]

And how'd you learn there were things that wanted to eat you out there, huh?

XOXO

I woke up in the water in a dream-like reality and got attacked by sharks.

Then there's the siege against nightmares from the depths of the sea we had to endure when the sun was being reborn.

- Keith

[...]

Sharks aren't usually that bad.

[But more importantly...hwat]

Can you run that by me again? Nightmares? The sun being reborn?

XOXO

Every so many eons the sun dies and the island of Chol shows up for it to incubate itself in.

When it does nightmareish creatures from the darkest depths come up and try to destroy it. It was a solid week of pitch black and freezing cold. We were in defensive camps to push them back. The main fighting was on Chol where the Jormun set up their defenses.

Right.

I mean, guess that's not any weirder than going into different planes of realities or whatever it is that makes the lions work so maybe I'm not in any place to question magical islands and the sun working in a way no star ever does.

XOXO

Exactly.

The sun is a giant phoenix here. ...actually, Ember is one of its kids.

- Keith

Did you know your bird was the son of the sun when you took him in?

XOXO

Yeah. He was small, ashy looking, and couldn't protect himself. He needed help so I helped.

- Keith

That's adorable.

XOXO

Okay?
The animals here are all weird.
Zizyphus has TigerLillies. They're plant tigers.
- Keith

The name's a little on the nose.

[But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to see one.

He also needs your help. You're his only hope.]

But more importantly than the weird animals, you know that XOXO means hugs and kisses, right? You're not that out of the loop.

XOXO

Is that what it means? I thought you just didn't want to write your name on here. Why are you writing that anyway.

- Keith
