[Heather certainly has NO expectation that he'll cease the drama anytime soon. She'll just maintain the reassuring cheer to counter it.]
Scout's honor, you are gonna be a weapons-grade snack.
[She's got one of their beach towels in hand and she tucks it around his neck before getting to work snipping off the burnt ends. Even though she's been trying to downplay the severity, there is... a lot of them.]
And you know it's important. If I ever don't look like a snack I will die immediately. My hotness powers me.
[At least he can joke! The first snip of scissors does get a little bit of a wince, though. He's trying very hard to not look down at any of the charred strands falling on the floor. It really is a lot of trust, letting someone else mess with his appearance this much.]
I know, I know. This is a life-saving procedure here.
[The joking IS noted, and is also a relief-- when the incident happened, she'd sort of immediately envisioned him just throwing himself directly into the river.]
[Even as she quips back though, she handles the hair very carefully. Envy may be joking but she knows if she messes up and gives him a cowlick or something, she'll be in the doghouse forever.]
[Once all the singed bits are removed, he's left with choppy locks an inch or two (depending) above his shoulders. It definitely looks better, but the fight is far from over.]
Okay... on a scale of 'roughly shoulders' to 'me', how short do you wanna go?
[He's actually surprised there's still that much to work with--he'd definitely been envisioning not having that much of an option left. It's a relief that the damage wasn't that complete.]
Uh...well, no offense, but your style is a lot hotter on you than it'd be on me.
Not sure I want us to start matching that much. And I still wanna have something to work with.
So I guess neaten up what's left, but keep it past my chin, at least.

[Hey, she'd had medium-ish hair for awhile as a kid. She probably still remembers how that was done!]
