So I hope, though I'm certain I seem overbearing at times.
[Chiron and his dad tendencies. But anyway, his hair is... sort of dry. He's got that l'oreal hair that never truly tangles, but it's long and damp and just everywhere.]
... Yona, if I might have a moment of your time? Could you help me with this?

They can, yes. My half-brothers and sisters were eaten by our shared father, the God of Time, but burst forth in battle armor after they were freed by Zeus.
[A pause]
Though that is possibly them overselling the tale. They never did tell me if it was a story made up by the mortals or not.
I suspect it is because I am not apart of your world's mythology... hence why I took the name Archer instead of my True Name. I had thought it best to be careful, though that is no longer necessary.
Two people are dead, but she learned his name and also his hair and tail have been very prettily braided. She ties it off, then steps back to admire her handiwork.]
...there you are. Let me know if you ever want me to do your hair again, okay?

She dove into the water and I quickly followed her in, not wanting to see her harmed... though it seems she was in no danger at all.

[A gesture at the hair]

She nods. Though, uh, he's tall, so this might be easier said than done.]
Sure. I'm pretty good with hair - mine was really unruly before it got cut.
[Once he's within arm's reach, she'll get to work!]

You once had long hair? It must have been a sight to behold.
no subject
Yona nods as she works with his hair.]
Mmhm. It was pretty long, and it never behaved. I spent hours trying to make it lie flat.
no subject
[Let Yona's hair do what it wants!]
no subject
Yona looks up at him, startled.]
...well, where I come from, the fashion is to have smooth, silky hair...
But it doesn't really matter so much to me, now. When I think back on it, how frustrated I got over my hair seems sort of silly.
no subject
[He says with his gorgeous hair. Hate this man.]
I am glad you were able to move past such frustrations, especially seeing as any hair style would likely suit you.
[A pause, and then musing]

no subject
[He's such a pretty horse by any and all standards.]
A braid might look nice, though! Let's try it!
[Cheerfully braiding his hair!
can she braid his tail too.]
no subject
[Also she can absolutely braid his tail. Yona has rights]
no subject
And his tail is definitely getting braided now too.]
...I know you had to learn it from someone, but it's hard to imagine you as the student and not the teacher.
no subject
As I did not come fully formed into life like many of the gods, yes, my experience had to come from somewhere.
[a soft huff of a laugh]
Most called me a mild-mannered student, though I admit on occasion, I was considered more mule than centaur.

Son of the God of Time, Chronus, and the sea nymph, Philyra.

In that case - it's very nice to meet you, Chiron. There, I can finally say it properly!

The pleasure is mine, Yona.
