this is her sleepy face [video]

[aero_dienamic]

[[Val turns over in bed. And after a while again. And again, facing the journal. One can see she's straining to keep her eyes closed. After a bit, she relents, letting them sleepily slide open.]]

I guess I have to get up now...

[[Sitting up, viewers get a brief sight of her bountiful, bare chest, and a decent mess of blonde hair, before she covers up and leans over the edge of the bed. Fiddling a bit behind her back, she's put on her armored bra (trademark). Then she looks up a bit and smiles.]]

So its been on? [[She yawn.]] Hmm... I haven't missed much, Luceti, have I? I've been AI tired since I came back form the fighting.

I... wasn't the only one to enjoy it, was I?

[The Spartan expected Valvalis to use the door. When she sees someone come through the window, Daisy's senses have been honed enough to know when it is the elemental.

The Chief Petty Officer attempts to raise herself with both elbows, to remain in as much of a sitting position as she could. The last thing she wanted was to be seen as weak.]

Valvalis. [She tries a smile.] You had fun there.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

[[Val wouldn't look at her as weak, even though she does slide over to help support the woman with a pillow. Your pride, Daisy. Swallow a little, Val loves ya too much ♥]]

I did. It was... a bit like things back home only, there was no threat from being caught off guard with Nel at my side.

[daisy023]

[Daisy would huff somewhat at the favor, if it was not for the fact it was the elemental. It's too much pride for a Spartan to swallow, Val.]

Wind powers seemed for lone wolf types to me. [Pushing opponents away? Priceless tactical asset. SPARTAN-023 herself used to be a lone wolf, for a time, back at her world.] But it's not bad to have someone covering your six.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

My six? Hmmm... [[Val looks behind her, and flicks her hair to get the rest of it in the window.]]

Well... that's behind me, correct. What would you call above?

[daisy023]

High. [Clock directions is mostly Air Force jargon, though.] Not precise, but it's based on observation. Stating where do you see things.

[Despite having grown up with Cal, she still wonders how does the elemental live with her hair.]

Doesn't the hair bother you?

The times I wish I could get more of her hair in a picture

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

[[She shakes her head, making it ripple down the length a bit.]]

Not a bit. It was created with it so... there's really not a time where it was any shorter. [[She looks back, a bit thoughtful.]] Well, perhaps it's grown a bit but...

[[She finds herself a place to sit, letting her hair trail.]] It's quite practical though. And I don't think I could cut it if I tried. If a sword can't get through it, nor magic, I doubt scissors could. I did have a bit of trouble with it this morning, but, I suppose I was tossing quite a bit in my sleep.

I think I've seen it in pics...

[daisy023]

Swords can't cut it? [She's visibly amazed, looking at the whole meters hair.] So it's also armor.

[Suddenly the elemental's abilities and choice of clothing (or lack of thereof) make sense. With Valvalis bending winds at will, and indestructible hair that moves along with it, she had more than enough body armor as she fought hordes of enemies. Even when it didn't look like it.]

Oh, I just meant fitting some in an icon

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Something to that effect, yes. I only need to stir up the winds around me, and my hair looks quite like a tornado itself, keeping me safe. Having Nel around kept me safe from above. High, as you say.

[[Val leans over, grinning.]] It's too bad I can't share that like I can teach magic. Maybe I'd get to see the real you with longer hair. [[She laughs a bit, trying to get the Spartan to laugh with her.]]

[daisy023]

[Daisy chuckles at the mental image of herself with hair as long as that of Valvalis. So much hair...]

I always thought long hair was uncomfortable. [After her conscription, truth be told.] I'm just used to keeping it short. I can't imagine. [Even if the Chief's hair is slightly above what is allowed for people in the military to have. One of the special permissions Spartans have above other units.] But if that were possible, Val? I'd keep it.

[The Chief Petty Officer speaks with honesty. If she had Valvalis' power, her supernatural hair, the MJOLNIR, and a rifle, the Spartan would be truly invincible.]

I don't think I'd leave it long otherwise, though.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Mmn. I suppose it's just not for everyone... though, I do have that little edge over everyone else that allows it. I thought I'd seen a girl once with hair longer than mine, but I was never able to talk to her.

Maybe one day though... maybe. [[She smiles. relaxing back in the seat fluffing her hair to the side a bit... Daisy's side.]]

I've... [[Hmm... how to approach this.]] To be honest, I'm glad I wasn't around when you were taken. Kirimi was taken once... and I left the town worse for it...

[daisy023]

[Daisy raises an eyebrow at that mention. She remembered having seen ridiculously long hair once while on patrol. And took a while to find the soure of it, too. Daisy shifts a bit, with a smile, when the Elemental’s hair reaches her.]

One day. [Daisy promises. She wonders for a brief moment if spells existed in this place that could rapidly extend hair.

But when her friend confesses the extent to which she loved Kirimi and her, who was nearly her daughter in this place, the Chief’s smile fades, and enters in deep thought. If she were ever to go into another rampage...]

It's better to use your wrath on battle. [That is the only thing SPARTAN-023 knows she could reply. Neither of them liked what Valvalis did. But the Spartan wanted not to mark her as a threat.]
