Akira: I feel so refreshed. A good bath is healing for the heart, no matter what world I'm in...

The wind's cold... Feels nice just after that hot water.

Chloe: Oh, Master Sage?

Akira: Are you out for a stroll too, Chloe?

Chloe: Pretty much. My shoulders were getting stiff from all that needlework I was doing.

I got my hands on some really nice fabric! It's glossy and feels so expensive...

And... Huh? Master Sage, did you get caught in the rain?

Akira: What do you mean?

Chloe: Your hair's wet.

Akira: Oh, that. I just got out of the bath and went straight outside.

Chloe: You should dry your hair before going out! You're gonna catch a cold!

Here, wait a sec. I'll dry it for you with this towel.

Akira: ?

Chloe: You remind me of Rustica. He's always wandering around with his hair still wet.

Akira: (It's been a long time since someone else dried my hair for me. ...Wait, I shouldn't get too comfortable!)

U-Um... It's kind of ticklish. I'll do it myself.

Chloe: Ah... Sorry, did you not want me to? I always did it for Rustica, so it's a habit now.

Akira: It's totally fine...! To be honest, I'm just feeling a bit shy.

Chloe: Oh, I see. Thank goodness. Ehehe, I was a little worried I was overstepping my boundaries.

Akira: Sorry, it didn't come across well.

Chloe: It's okay, I'm sorry too. Thanks for telling me.

But when you say you felt shy, does that mean people don't dry your hair for you in your world?

Akira: Mm... Now that I think about it, once you become an adult, no one else is really around to dry your hair.

Chloe: Oh... Then that means it'd be fine if someone dried your hair in this world, right?

So I'll dry it for you! I'll take care of you, at least for today. Is that okay?
