Humming as you brushed your teeth, you held back a yawn. Spitting out the paste, you bent down, cupping water in your hands.

Rinsing your mouth, you looked back up to the mirror, flinching as a new face appeared. You had thought WyldFyre had gone to sleep hours ago.

Turning to her you leaned back against the counter. "..do you need something, 'Fyre?"

She swallowed, staring at the ground. This was probably the first time you had ever seen her not high energy, shouting. For better or for worse.

You glanced behind her back, humming. "Whatcha got there?"

WyldFyre held out the hairbrush, biting the inside of her cheek. "I- Kai always had his hair styled. Mine is messy. Can-.. can you help?"

"..oh."
you breathed out, sighing. Glancing at her matted hair, you nodded. "Go grab a chair, one of the barstools from the kitchen I guess. While you do that I'll go look for someone's conditioner to steal, I'm almost out of mine."

Hurrying out of the room, she nodded.

Rubbing at your face, you walked down the hall, wandering and trying to figure out who would have the best conditioner for this. Your first thought was Kai, if anything. It felt wrong taking from him. His room was untouched since the fight at the Shadow Dojo.

Cole probably had the best products for her hair type anyways. Turning down the other hall, you stepped into Cole and Zane's (mostly Cole's) bathroom, taking note of the lime buildup on the faucet. Grabbing his bottle of conditioner and shampoo for good measure, you checked it, making sure it was still good. Turning back to the hall, you flinched, Sora's sleepy face in the way.

"What are you doing, Y/n?" She muttered, rubbing her eye.

Pressing your lips together, you sighed. It felt like you were always sighing now. "Uh- WyldFyre asked for help with her hair. Cole's bathroom just had the products I needed."

She nodded, stepping forward. She pressed her face into your collarbone, taking a shuttering breath.

Putting the bottles down, you hummed rubbing her back. "Did you have another nightmare?"

You heard a small whimper from her, her arms curled up into her chest. "The one about my parents."

"Ah." You hummed. That was always the worst one. After a moment of standing there, you glanced up to the rafters, unsure of how to act. "You uh.. you wanna come and hang out with me and WyldFyre?" Chewing the inside of your cheek, you shrugged. "Just to get your mind off of it."

Sora nodded, stepping back silently.

You nodded down the hall, walking back to your bathroom. Sliding the door open, WyldFyre was stood, a chair hoisted above her head. "I HAVE RETRIEVED THE CHAIR!" She announced. Quite loudly.

Taking it from her, you hummed. "Remember what Kai mentioned about inside voices at night? The dragons are all sleeping too, it'd be bad to wake them up." You explained, turning the chair away from the sink. "I hope you don't mind Sora hanging out, she just needs to be around people right now."

It wasn't like you were shouting out to the void for everyone to hear, but you tried to be as honest as you could with this team. Only the Master knows how many conflicts started from miscommunication.

The redhead nodded, watching you move the chair. "What is the chair for?"

Sora sat down on the ground on the bath mat, leaning against the wall. Her knees were pulled into her hoodie, simply watching.

"It's so I can rinse your hair. Warm water helps with the detangling a lot. Also conditioner which needs to be rinsed and repeated." You explained, rolling a towel to support her neck. "I should have a wide-tooth comb around here.." you muttered to no one in particular as you began to dig around your drawers.
