Remember when you mentioned my hair and offering me a cut?
[ Even if Subaki doesn't, that isn't the point. Takumi is fairly sure it has been mentioned a couple of times at this point. In any case, he can make fun of the other many for not being Perfect. ]
You're finally going to let me fix that porcupine of yours? I'm honored. I've been dreaming of getting my hands on your hair for so long.
[ Imagine all the wonderful things he can do -perhaps, a fetching braid? Or even a stylistic bun with a few strategic strands framing his youthful face? ]
[ Him?! A creep?? But he's the very model of a perfect gentleman. Oh, how you wound him so, Takumi. ]
What sounds creepy to you is someone being congenial about fixing that mop on your hair. You can always go to that salon that opened up, but would you risk it when I can assure you of a good quality style?
There is nothing 'weird' about the strand. It's called having style. If it laid completely flat, it would be too unremarkable.
[ Need he bring up the porcupine sticking out of Takumi's poinytail? At least, his one strand flutters gracefully in the wind and gives his hair a sense of drama and intrigue. ]
But you can rest assured, it'd be tacky for us to have matching haircuts anyway.
[ Subaki... Subaki. Sometimes he wonders about you. Sometimes he wonders how you're his sister's retainer, how she even deals with you. But that's okay.
It's fine. His weird habits are awfully refreshing. ]
Oh? I thought that we all could learn to be a lot more stylish if we were to follow your example.
There is a vast difference between outright copying and drawing inspiration from. I want people to be inspired by my example and not do exactly as I do.
[ That's how a good leader leads! Something Takumi can stand to learn, although his retainers are o...kay. Ish. They, at least, seem to admire porcupine-head quite a bit. ]
But if they do as you do, they would be flawless. Wouldn't they?
[ Sorry to say, but he's good on the leadership part... He doesn't want to take lessons right now unless you're Ryoma. Also, Oboro would eat you alive.
He has to suffer through them, so please spare him. ]
There are other ways to achieve flawlessness that don't include obsessive imitation. Everyone should still have their own unique style. Obviously, not all clothes fit and complement different body types, and hair is the same for different face types.
[ He does not pity Takumi as he still has it way better than Hinoka. They all do.
He's not even going to think about any of the Nohrian retainers. That's just a collective abomination right there. ]

I was wondering if you're still up for that.

That's Niles. ]
As long as you don't give me that weird strand that pokes out of your head, then it's fine.

Well, I'll stop by whenever we're both free. Sounds good?

I'll make sure the area is presentable for your visit then.
[ As if it isn't spotless already, but extra cleaning can't hurt. ]
