Fai combs his hair every night.
No one notices, since his hair flies to wherever it wants to go anyway. But at the darkness of midnight, he presses the brush hard against his scalp and pulls the comb away from his locks. He pushes and pulls, pushes and pulls. He stops when his scalp feels raw. He picks his golden locks from the brush, strand by strand, and while Kurogane is sleeping, he puts his strands beside the ninja.
When Kurogane wakes up, he would bark at Fai and complain about 'the mage combing by his bedside.' But Fai continues anyway. He can never be sure if his king would remain asleep throughout the night.
