[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.]

[Drops that handful, dusting his hand on his leg to get wet strands off.] I don't want to look like him.

[And suddenly, Merlin understands. He surveys the incomplete haircut, then suggests tentatively: ] Have you considered letting your hair growing longer? You could tie it back then.

[Pausing, he glances to the screen with a quiet, almost thoughtful look.] ... [Then looks away.] It hasn't grown any longer than this in years.

Really? [He tugs his own, longer hair ruefully, wishing it were the same for him] Well, I've heard there's something people use in their hair. It's not like the oil we'd use back home, but...stickier, I think? You could try slicking your hair back if it doesn't grow.

[Scratching his head and attempting to flatten a very stubborn cowlick, he grunted a little.] ... Maybe.

I'd say, give that a try before you cut anymore of your hair. It couldn't hurt, right?

I guess. [But that cowlick he's arguing with really is asking to get cut. Vanitas is slowly starting to lift that knife again, staring at it intently through the reflection on the screen.]

Keep doing that, and you'll not have enough hair to slick back by the time you get the oil. [Eyeballing that knife warily]

[Making a sour face, he lowers the knife though, instead just giving that cowlick a tug and attempt at flattening.] Fine, fine.

It really bothers you, doesn't it. Are you planning to stop wearing your helmet?

[He's quiet, that sour look fading though his eyes are looking away.] I haven't gone to get it yet. It's probably still in the woods. [Honestly, Vanitas really wants his helmet back.]

Woods? [He pulls out a map of Johto] Oh, the ones right next to Goldenrod? It's not too far from here; I could help you look for it.

[Looking at the screen this time, he can't help the mildly confused look despite the frown.] ... Why?
