Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Laisa's Dorm Room is a room like many others. It's a bit on the small side, but still technically meant to be big enough for two people. At least, one would assume, judging by the fact that she has a bunk bed.

    However, since Laisa is here by herself, it's actually a bit more spacious. Just inside the entrance is a wardrobe where a lot of her clothing hangs inside, and in the back of the room is a desk covered in various bits of notes and homework, gently lit by the sunbeams that have managed to make it past the light blue curtains covering the windows.

    There's a two person couch here, as well as a TV hanging off the opposite wall. Near the TV is a glass display refrigerator, the kind you might find at a store where they keep the ice cream, where Laisa displays various small ice sculptures. Most of these are small enough to be a piece for a board game. The contents of that case are constantly changing, though the most recent entries on the middle shelf seem to have a certain theme in common. A pair of girls dancing together, a field of lilies, an angel petting a cat.

    It's probably not that hard to guess who she was thinking about when she made them.

    Aside from the bunk bed, there's really no indication that anyone lives here aside from Laisa, and the top bunk is perfectly made and seems as if it's been left untouched for a while.

    Laisa is here, sitting on the couch. She's got an ice cube in one hand and a sharp tool in the other that she's carving it with.

Veronica Perenna has posed:
Veronica is walking over to Laisa's dorm with light steps, holding in her arm a hairbrush and a detangler, the only clue to the reason behind her short trip. Shortly before this, Laisa and her had talked about finally having a moment to themselves when the brunette could demonstrate to her the lull brushing your hair makes. So says her, at least. But she intends to make it just as relaxing an experience for Laisa.

A soft smile plays on her lips while Laisa fills her thoughts, with soft and endearingly messy hair that feels like the perfect canvas to let the purple-haired girl experiment which style she likes the most.

In her mind, she's already gently brushing it out, humming a little tune, giving her girlfriend opinions and seeing which one she find the nicest: a high ponytail with a scrunchie that matches her eyes, or maybe twin braids with little ribbon bows, or a bun pierced by a jade green hairpin complementing the purple, or a crown braid with her favourite flowers tucked into, maybe preceding a picnic in a meadow just for the two of them. Each style makes her heart flutter, thinking how every look just complements her, like a gentle underline to her natural cuteness.

Quiet knocks bounce on Laisa's door when the brunette arrives, waiting calmly for it to open.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Upon hearing the knocking at the door, Laisa looks up from her carving with a sudden bit of excitement. She places the ice cube in a bowl on her desk, half expecting to completely forget about it in a moment, and her carving tool on a towel next to it. The cube will likely melt before she gets back to it, but she's not concerned about that.

    Laisa happily opens the door with an unsure smile, and her curiosity is replaced with joy as she sees that the person on the other side is, indeed, the one she most wanted to see. "My beloved kitten~," she coos, holding the door open and sweeping her arm inward in a playful emulation of a grand gesture. "Come in, come in!"

    She waits for Veronica to enter and, assuming she does, closes the door behind her. Laisa's arms wrap around her darling's waist for a moment as she moves closer to give her a small peck on the cheek. Then she withdraws, taking the painter by the hand and guiding her towards the couch. Her red eyes glance down to the detangler spray and the brush, with a slight smile. "Are those yours? Ah, I can hardly wait~."

    Laisa's hair is still a little bit messy. Since this is their first time doing this together she thought she'd let Veronica take the lead.

Veronica Perenna has posed:
There is a crystalline laugh from Veronica's mouth when she hears the nickname Laisa has chosen for her, and a bright look on her face, regarding her adoringly after the door finally opens. "I love the way you think, you know?", she smiles impishly, and she answers back the playfully grand gesture with an equally exhuberant bow. "Far from me to decline the honour of seeing your grand above for the first time."

At Laisa's gentle gesture around her waits, Veronica leans down, giving her a soft kiss on the cheek as well. "I cleaned up the brush before coming here, but yes, that's what I use. My thought was I could ask now if you have other products you prefer, or if we are using mine", she raises the spray to show her the brand.

Glancing around the room, her eyes fall on the refrigerator, stepping closer and noticing the common themes to the statuette. "They are so pretty, my snowsweet", the brunette lilts.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    "I'm glad to hear that, since you're on my mind all the time~," coos Laisa. She giggles at Vero's response and bow. Such a cute person she managed to catch, such a sweet heart she was able to steal...

    On the topic of other products, Laisa's smile turns a bit sheepish. As she reaches up to run fingers through her own purple locks, she notes, "Well, if you might guess... aside from the most basic shampoo and conditioner, I don't really use a whole lot. If you have any recommendations though, I'll keep them in mind for my next shopping trip." As she glances towards the spray, Laisa smiles, "Until then... I hope you don't mind if we use yours."

    Laisa feels a few tiny little butterflies in her stomach when she hears the nickname that Veronica has given her. She's still not used to how nice that feels, especially when that same pretty voice is complimenting her art. "Why thank you, kitten. I'm quite happy with them. Maybe because they remind me of joyful things~."

    She walks over to her desk, opens a drawer, and pulls out a few items of her own: a brush, a comb, and a detangler that... oops, has a loose tooth. Laisa winces as she tests the integrity of her own detangler and sees that it's broken. "Eheh... I guess my hair is a bit thick sometimes. Maybe the spray will be better." As she frowns at the thing, she adds it to the mental shopping list.

    Turning around to face Veronica again, she walks over and gives her another hug, before releasing her and sitting down on the couch. She starts running her fingers through her hair and asks, "So... anything else you want to ask, or should we start?"

Veronica Perenna has posed:
"They also inspire joy", Veronica brings Laisa close into a hug, her heart beating happily. "They are all so dreamlike. It really makes me look forward to when we will be able to dance like that for real. Though, I think for one, you were inspired by something that happened", her eyes glint while her gaze passes over the angel petting the cat. Even if they had never actually been in that situation while she still had the curse.

"Of course I don't mind, that's why I brought them here", Veronica winks, shifting the subject back to the hair and approaching the desk to borrow its chair. Bringing it closer to where she has left Laisa, the brunette lowers the chair, and stands behind its back, switching the detangling spray to her left hand. "What do you think about sitting here then?", she gestures towards the chair with the brush.

"So, this is a Kracie, but I think Tsubaki Premium is also a good brand", Veronica delves into the recommendations while she waits for Laisa to sit down. "You know, I have been thinking a lot about which hairstyle you would enjoy the most", she reduces her voice a whisper with a grin on her face, even if at the same time, a light red tint spreads across her cheek. "We could talk about that, unless you want to leave your hair natural."

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Laisa's eyes dart towards the angel petting the cat, and she giggles. With a wink she says, "Ah, well, perhaps to some degree. It's also symbolic, I suppose. If I had known we'd end up like this, I might've adored you even more back then."

    As the purple haired girl watches Veronica take the desk chair, it occurs to her that of course her darling would want to be able to get behind her easily. She stands up from the couch and then walks to the chair, brushing her soft, filed fingertips against her kitten's cheek for a moment. "This works!" she says, cheerfully.

    As Vero mentions a couple of brands she knows, Laisa nods and listens, then she takes her seat. She looks ahead and fidgets with the hem of her skirt for a moment. Something about the fact that her darling is behind her, but close by, makes her a bit shy. Out of sight but most certainly not out of mind. The goth girl closes her eyes and appreciates the sound of her girlfriend's voice as she mentions hairstyles, and Laisa considers.

    "Up until now I've just kept it natural, but... I wouldn't mind trying a few different things? Maybe just to see what works."

Veronica Perenna has posed:
"Oh?", Veronica murmurs with an intrigued tone. "Are you perhaps fond of cats?" Though, really, who doesn't find cats adorable? Even sphynx cats have garnered positive attention, despite the many complications of the breed.

The brunette softly chuckles when she feels the touch of her love against her cheek, lovingly pressing her own there for a second.

"Let's start then", she whispers into Laisa's ear, and then she delicately sprays her hair with the detangler, paying special attention to the more intricate spots. She starts brushing softly from the ends onwards, falling into a fluid rhythm. "So, how does it feel for you?", she speaks with a low humming timbre.

"That works, there are certainly a lot of styles we could try: twin braids, a bun, a ponytail", the painter smiles, caressing a wayward strand back behind her ear. "Though, those and a crown braid are about all I am good with."

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    "Well..." starts Laisa, on the question of cats. "I'm especially fond of one in particular, but generally yes. You could say I'm a cat person." After a pause she adds, "I mean... not in the way that you are in henshin, dear. As in... a person who likes cats."

    Then she feels a bit silly for giving that clarification because it was probably a bit obvious.

    The whisper into her ear from behind makes her shiver a little, but she stays mostly still. Listening to the spritzes, feeling the brush go through her hair. As Veronica settles into a rhythm, Laisa starts to relax in her chair, her shoulders falling and her back getting gradually less tense. Had this occured at a different time of day, the snow angel could very easily fall asleep like this.

    After taking a moment to enjoy the feeling, Laisa responds in a very calm voice, "It's nice..."

    She's quiet as she considers different hair styles. A ponytail would be simplest, though simplicity isn't necessarily the goal. After thinking about it, she suggests, "Maybe we can try twin braids?"

Veronica Perenna has posed:
"That's fair, I am an angel person too", Veronica stops her brushing a second to reach for Laisa's hand after switching her brush to the left hand. "I have got the cutest angel right in front of me", she speaks candidly.

Then she resumes her work, and for a few seconds, there are only the sounds of rare repeats of the spray, and of Laisa's hair parting under the action of the brush. The strands glide between the prongs like silk, soft and warm, and the snow girl's left side shines transparently when a lone ray of light falls on her.

Eventually, when Laisa's hair is now no longer tangled, Veronica places the now unneeded items on the desk in a few quick steps, and once back at Laisa's side, starts humming a melody that she might recognise as that of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Her fingers part her hair into two roughly equal parts, and starting from the right one, move around deftly, intertwining it multiple times.

"Hmm, a thought: is there a look that you prefer more on me between the one I have in henshin and the one I have out of it? For any reason", she ponders breaking the melody for a second.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Laisa giggles softly and says, "Well, that's good! You go well with an angel, since you're so heavenly." As her hand is reached for, she squeezes Veronica's, and then awws at the compliment. Her cheeks brighten a little bit, because of all the nice attention she's getting. "... and you're the sweetest kitten, always so good to me."

    Having her hair brushed feels really nice, especially coming from someone so affectionate towards her, whose touch she very much enjoys. The more untangled her hair gets, the easier the brush's path and the smoother the hair. She sits still, with her eyes closed, enjoying the gentle moment.

    The snowy girl opens her eyes to glance in Veronica's direction as she sets things down on the desk, and as her darling's hands start entwining her hair, Laisa smiles warmly and closes her eyes. A few measures into the song, and she starts humming along too. The two voices mix together sweetly.

    "I keep thinking about that," says Laisa, also stopping her humming. "... and I keep not really coming up with an answer. I suppose we aren't limited to one thing, are we? I think... maybe you could try something elegant? Though..."

    She opens her eyes and glances at her darling, teasing, "... if you're too cute, or too pretty, I might never be able to stop admiring you~."

Veronica Perenna has posed:
Veronica's hearts beats louder for a few seconds, charmed by the giggle and the squeeze of Laisa's hand. "You're too good at turning any sweetness against me," she remarks while her hands dance through Laisa's hair delicately, her eyes focused attentively on the tender motions. "I'll take being your kitten any day." Her voice is soft, but full of affection.

When Laisa starts humming along, Veronica can feel something in her heart flutter, and she starts swaying lightly to the hypnotic rhythm of the snow angel's voice, her lips now curved in a fondness that reaches her eyes through her happily burning cheeks.

She listens closely, her fingers continuing the braid even as her head tilts slightly in thought. "Elegant, hmm?" she echoes, her tone thoughtful. "Like what, a gala dress? Or something more complementing a top hat and cane? Or the feline look?", she lists out all the possibilities without losing the focus on Laisa's hair.

When she finally finishes one braid, she silently ties a dark green ribbon at the end, and starts with the other one. At Laisa's playful tease, she lets out a quiet breath of a laugh, speaking with a low, warm note. "Only if you allow me time to admire you too."

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    "Oh?" asks Laisa. "Turning it against you? Ah, but I can't help being sweet on you. You're so charming and wonderful." Her smile is soft and warm, and her eyes are content, as she says, "If you like being my kitten, maybe I should spoil you more~."

    The swaying of her girlfriend in time with the song is noticed by Laisa, but the goth girl stays mostly still, not wanting to make it too difficult for her kitten to arrange her hair. Still, from the way she looks so gently happy, it's clear that she's enjoying the moment.

    "Well..." Laisa thinks out loud. "A gala dress, maybe with hair drills, assuming your magic can do something like that. That was what I had in mind. Though..." she considers, not necessarily assuming that the first idea she has is the best one. "I mean I already know you look lovely in a top hat and dress, though maybe a touch of embroidery could fit the tone?"

    While considering the different ways that Veronica's disguise powers can go, Laisa thinks out loud, "I mean I generally see you as being kind of... elegant, classy, graceful or artistic. Something along those lines... oh! What about butterfly wings? Maybe also a lovely ballroom dress to go with it. Then we can be winged magical girls together." After a moment, she chuckles, "... neither of us will be able to fly though."

Veronica Perenna has posed:
"That would actually be hard right now", Veronica points out, immediately stressing the point by her caressing the top of Laisa's head. "But I am open to seeing what you can do. Just don't expect a fair vote. You are so fair by yourself it's hard for me not to be biased", she fakes chiding her, though the warmth of her tone makes it hard for her to take seriously.

Leaning down, her fingers keep the braid they are working on away from Laisa's neck, and Veronica gently kisses it from behind instead. "Thank you for being yourself, you are so incredible", she whispers again.

She starts visualising herself with hair drills and her thoughts go back to Norie's senpai, the only person she has ever met with that hairstyle. She should be able to manage that. A shame she hadn't asked Tomoe-san for tips to do it the natural way when she could. "Hair drills and embroidery. Consider it done. I already have a reference in mind to get them right."

Veronica's eyes open wide gleaming at Laisa's suggestion, as if reflecting the splendor of an imaginary ballroom. "Now you are thinking with art. But I would never expected anything less from your talent, snowsweet", she cheerfully replies.

"I would really love it." Though, in truth, she is so enamored by the idea, she is barely resisting doing it right now. "I wouldn't really mind not being able to fly. Not when we would match so well", Veronica's cheeks happily bloom in crimson.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Laisa whimpers a little when Veronica, correctly, points out that it actually would be difficult to spoil her from this position. She crosses her arms, which adds a little to her pouty look, but it also makes it easier to be well behaved. "I think by that logic, you're fair enough as it is."

    When the kiss is suddenly applied to Laisa's neck, she shivers. The following whisper flushes her cheeks. "G-geeze..." she stutters softly. "I am completely at your mercy right now, aren't I?" Well maybe not completely, but she is if she wants to cooperate. "I love you so much. Thank you for loving me, too."

    Laisa tries to imagine Veronica, or probably more likely Sarek, in what she asked for. "I admittedly don't think very often about how other people should dress, but... I think seeing you like that would be pretty fun. How long does it take for you to come up with a new disguise? Maybe we should try a dress up day."

    The butterfly wings idea seems to be a hit, and Laisa's smile changes into more of an 'aha!'. She gets a feeling like she got something right, because if Veronica is pleased then so is Laisa. The blush on her darling's cheek would probably get her heart racing if she was looking, but instead she's being still and letting her girlfriend work on her hair.

    Still, the painter sounds happy, and Laisa can hear that, and for the moment that's enough. "I really, really, love you, Veronica."

Veronica Perenna has posed:
"Thank you for the compliment", she blushes happily with a wink at once again Laisa turning things around. These little back and forth between them makes Veronica's stomach do little somersaults. She would never miss anything Laisa would want to say, it's too precious. And when she is being all pouty like that, she is even more so somehow.

"I really love you, Laisa. Being with you, having fun with you, chatting with you, kissing you... All of that makes me feel like you are constantly filling me with energy. I am not even sure I would notice my curse", she caresses her shoulder for a few seconds. "And hey, you put yourself at my mercy. You can hardly blame me for wanting to pamper you", she coos.

The brunette's foot taps the floor with silent movements while she thinks with a wide smile. "By now, I have thought about it for long enough that I have some different looks at the ready. And having a visual reference helps me out, but I can always paint it if I am having struggles. Minor modifications like hairstyle are on the easy side."

The braid is done, and Veronica ties a matching ribbon to it, then immediately snaps a picture with her phone. The braids really were a good choice. They fits so well on her. "You can move around now, love of my life", she replies to her declaration earnestly.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Laisa waits, patiently, though it's clear from the adoring look in her eyes that she has cuddly intentions. It's blissful, really. Not just the soft atmosphere of having one's hair brushed and played with, but also the exchange, the sweet compliments, the kindness and the love...

    Apparently her talented girlfriend feels the same way, because she voices as much. Laisa sighs happily and responds, "I don't mind being at your mercy, love. Not when you're so tender. Not when you pamper me so. I love and adore you, especially in times like this."

    Listening to Veronica's process, Laisa considers for a moment. "So a lot of it is just the design work? Well... that's interesting. If you saw a picture, could you emulate it?"

    The final touches are put into place, and a picture is snapped while Laisa patiently waits. Once she's told she can move she stands up and stretches her arms, making a big show of it before, without warning, dropping her arms around her taller girlfriend's shoulders. Holding her gently and standing up on her tip toes, Laisa smiles up at Veronica and giggles playfully.

    "How do I look, my lovable kitten?"

Veronica Perenna has posed:
Veronica looks moved at how much affection and trust she perceives in Laisa's voice, and she almost forgets Laisa is talking to her still while she takes in those sounds sweetest that sweetness.

"Oh, yeah, it's pretty much design work. I could see the photo of an old person in their youth and I could disguise myself as them", Veronica clarifies, while moving to the front to have a good look from the front as well. She has a good look at her, giving an eagerly approving nod and forming an abundance id thoughts about her cuteness.

"Do I really have to say it?", she replies with an adoring chuckle. "You look great. Twin braids really are a good choice. How did my detangler feel? Was it right, or should we look for another one later?"

"There are limits to it", she goes back to her disguise magic. "If I tried to become a robot, the best I could do is give myself a stomach ache. Same if I tried becoming a cat again." Don't ask her how she knows about the stomach ache. "And of course, I can't use it to obtain abilities I don't already have", she adds for the sake of it. They had just talked about their wings, after all.

Laisa Samuiko has posed:
    Now, finally, with her catgirlfriend in her arms, and her purple hair in pretty braids with green ribbons, Laisa is giggling helplessly as she twists back and forth. Ahh, Veronica really feels so nice in her arms. So soft. So sweet.

    After thinking on it a moment, from what her girlfriend has told her, Laisa releases her hold on Veronica and then considers, "So... if being a robot doesn't work, would an android? LIke... assuming that the changes were only skin deep and that you weren't... you know... putting a rocket engine in your gut or something." Then she thinks about it and says, "Huh... or... what about a knight? Maybe not a full set of armor but... hm. I think actually it would take a bit of thinking to state what I mean, because my mind is really going in more 'anime knight' directions than realistic ones."

    Laisa's hands go behind her back, as her red eyes look lovingly up into her kitten's. "Ah, but before we forget, wasn't there something else you wanted to do? If you like my look, you could paint me like this. I could sit back down on the chair if you needed me to pose."

    Laisa twirls around slowly, showing off her new look in front of Veronica, "I mean, we could also just sit on the couch and cuddle to our heart's content, but... I don't want to deny you the option if you still want to make a painting of me."

Veronica Perenna has posed:
Veronica leans briefly into that embrace, her heart melting fonder next to her, and she caresses Laisa's soft hair for a split second, before returning to their mutual hug. It almost feels like time stops in her embrace.

"I don't really know about an android, but a knight should be easily doable. There is little difference between silk or cotton or whatever and armor to magic", she distances herself for a bit to reply, considering with an interested hum at Laisa's offer. She is right about her intentions, and it has been a while since Laisa deserved a painting of her likeness, and what better occasion than inaugurating a new look?

Veronica giggles at Laisa's twirl, glancing deeply into her lovely pools of crimson with all of her care and affection. "There really is no time like the present. It won't take me long", she promises, opening the portal to Sarek and going back, brushing close to Laisa with a zmile.

She then setups the empty canvas and the painting. "Ready to go ahead?", smiles invitingly. All they need to do is just capture Laisa in the position she likes the most.
