[While the video opens up with Minun's face being pressed up against the feed, the little Pokemon gives a hushed chitter, a somewhat worried look on his face. Pulling the Gear along the ground for a few moments, Minun props it up against a rock, pointing the feed across the basement where Vanitas could be seen.

It's a little hard to make out from waaaaaaaaaaay over here, but it looks like partial bath time? He's got his head dipped into an old bucket, scrubbing furiously at his hair for a few minutes longer before sitting up and flipping the wet spikes back.

Where they promptly start to fluff up again, despite being soaked.

On reaching up and discovering this, he lets out an incredibly irritated sound. Vanitas then reaches and digs into his bag nearby, sourly muttering something akin to 'enough of this', and draws out the little survival knife he picked up on his last pickpocketing adventure.

Grabbing a large hunk of spike, he hacks it off effortlessly, and promptly reaches for another.

Someone tell him it's a bad idea to cut his own hair.]

... Are you sure that's a good idea to attempt on your own?

[Give him a moment, he's pausing in the middle of hacking off another large chunk to look around for the voice. Eventually he's turning, frowning at the red light blinking and narrowing his gaze at the critter who ducks behind the gear.]

I don't care. It's getting done.

[And with that, he finishes slicing off that second handful, tossing it aside. Though when he reaches for another thick handful, he stops and shakes the back of his shirt, grouching about the hair getting itchy. Yeah, this isn't going to last long, he's going to stab the knife into the ground and drag the shirt off to attempt to brush the stray locks off his back and neck.

What a view, amirite? Oh wait, firelight is giving the most spectacular view of... old scars and bruises stretched all across and over his back. And by old, I mean old. They most likely are not from being here in Johto.]

-- Your back-- [ completely involuntarily, at that. ]

[Pausing, he's a little caught off guard since he was half expecting more quips about his hair rather than his back, but soon enough he just shrugs. Moving to his feet and stepping over, he makes something of a sour look at Minun (who goes darting off to hide somewhere else) before picking up the Gear.]

It's nothing.

That's extensive scarring. I wouldn't call that nothing.

It's nothing. [Vanitas almost growls it out, and by the tone, he's not all that willing to talk about it. He does look rather odd with two large spikes missing though.]

[ Asuka doesn't respond for a minute, and her face is unreadable. Then-- ]

You might want to find someone to cut your hair.

Why? [Deadpan expression, flicking some wet strands off his fingers.]

Because if it grows back after you've cut it like that, it's going to make your hair that much less manageable.

Do you really think it could possibly be less manageable? I soaked it and it still just flipped back up.

That's a tendency of thick hair. It can get worse.

Tch. [DISPLEASED VANITAS IS DISPLEASED at this newest development. Throwing the knife down at the ground, he glares unhappily at the reflection in the bucket.]

You'll be able to thin it out with professional help.

I'll figure something out.
