His gloved fingers wrapped around the soft strands of auburn hair, slowly uncoiling them to reach the scalp and trail his hands downwards. There wasn't a long way to go, Chise always had rather short hair(though it was growing), but Elias was still fascinated with this mere action. He always found the top of her hair to be beautiful, and the ember-like colors gave him yet another reminder that she was his robin. It felt so wonderfully smooth, too. She took quite good care of her hair, as he encountered only one knot this session he'd been feeling her hair.

"Beautifully red," He commented, fingers trailing over her scalp. "A lot like you, Chise."

The teenager lowered her head and blushed. She hadn't said much during this course, but it felt nice to be sitting in his lap and have him feel her hair. His touch was soft and delicate, much like her hair. He'd been so intrigued with it that they haven't moved for quite awhile. Nothing she minded - she felt really loved feeling like this. Like she was the precious robin like the fae called her as sometimes.

"Thank you..." She said.

She adjusted herself in his lap and continued to stare across the room. Ruth was fast asleep on the floor. He must've been bored with their long session of silence rather than the sound of Elias playing with her hair. He remarked to her, in her mind, that they were so much like a "typical couple" he'd seen before. She didn't understand what he meant at the time, but was getting a little red at the thought now.

"Did you inherit this from your mother or your father?" He asked.

She smiled. "My...my mother."

"Have you always kept it this short?"

She shrugged, her bare shoulder peeking out from her half-crop top. "Yeah, I felt that growing it long made me a lot hotter. So keeping it short was just easier."

Elias brushed her hair behind her ear. "That's quite a thought. Imagining you with long hair, that is."

Chise blinked and tried to paint a mental image. She'd seen many beautiful women before with long hair. Titania, for one. And that Winter Goddess was breathtaking with a head of hair like hers. Chise always compared herself as simple compared to them. Hers wasn't a lot to take in, it wouldn't fly or rush around majestically in the wind like theirs. Imagining herself with hair like that certainly would...make her feel different.

"Do you like long hair, Elias?" The redhead asked.

"Long hair?" He repeated, and she nodded. "Well...I have no preference. I found no need to find such a thing appealing on someone - especially humans."

He extended his arm and started feeling her hair again. His large, gloved hands felt overwhelming on her head, but she completely trusted him. He hadn't caused harm to her before. And his touch was warm and soothing like always. So she naturally went into his touch and slightly moaned when his hands came down to her neck. Something noticed by both of them but went unaddressed.

"You, however..." He continued. "I find you beautiful in every way. Your hair is wonderful the way it is. It isn't very often you'd find fae with such short hair like yours."

"Really?"

"Yes. You're special Chise."

She finally looked behind herself and got a good look at Elias. This whole time she'd been listening to his voice and feeling his grip that she hadn't taken a glance at his figure for awhile. He was sitting with his t-shirt on, baggy as usual. And his sleeves were rolled up so they revealed his purple, scaly skin from underneath. A smooth feeling that felt wonderful when he rested his arm on her shoulder.

She rested her head on the side of his hand. "Thank you, Elias..."

Chise gently rose her head as he continued to feel the ends of her hair. She never really felt that big on her hair until now. Elias acted like it was something to worship. Which made her quite flustered, really. But he'd done so many things to make her blush before that now she was slowly developing an immunity. She'd get used to this type of thing eventually. For now, she still had the butterflies and redness that climbed up her chest and onto her cheeks.

"Do you..." She cleared her throat. "Do you ever wish you had hair, Elias?"

"No." He shook his skull. "On the head, at least. It'd be impossible to have it on a skull like mine. I suppose the closest I have is feathers."

The redhead blinked, suddenly remembering about his "true" form. The one she saw long ago when he nearly battled Cartaphilius. It'd been so long since she had to think about that. In fact, she nearly forgot about it. She was so used to seeing him in this certain form that sometimes she forgot. She suddenly remembered about his other ones and turned to him rather eagerly.

"Do you mind the blonde hair on your human form, then?"

Elias paused and debated the idea. "Well...you said it was creepy, so I suppose so. I figured humans are regularly seen with hair, so I just based mine off of Simon's."

Chise gently nudged him. "Aw, I take that back. That was when I didn't really know you, Elias. So you were just creepy all the time, I guess."

He huffed. "Is that the reason why?"

"Yeah. Now it...it looks really handsome on you." She blushed. "Your bangs are my favorite part, I'd say."

"Oh, really?"

He suddenly switched into said human form right in front of her eyes. It made her mouth go into an "O" shape as she saw his skull morph into a human face and the rest of his body follow through. There wasn't a typical "magic" vibe to it, either. He just...morphed straight into it. It didn't unsettle her, but it was quite the sight having to witness it now and in front of her.

The now human-Elias realized her surprised expression and frowned. "Sorry, I should have told you I was going to-"

His eyes widened as he felt her learn forward in his lap and turn around. She suddenly reached out to him and started feeling his hair. She was doing it much like he had done with her for this past hour or so. Trailing her hand on its surface...gently tugging at the ends...and especially running her hand through the strands.

Chise had a bit more trouble, though. The bangs were gelled and some of his hair felt a bit rough. She didn't quite know what to expect. But it was still wonderful to feel. She kept tugging at his bangs and trying to flatten them out with the rest of the hair. It naturally stayed separated and a bit bouncy in the air. The redhead smiled and gently tugged at it again.

Elias gave her an amused smile. "Having fun?"

"What?" She asked innocently. "Your hair feels nice, too. I usually can't reach it because of our height difference..."

She leaned forward and placed a kiss on his forehead, using her hand to feel the back of his head. Elias placed a hand on her back as she leaned forward to do so. Her chest was right in front of his sight, and he was doing his best to try and look at her face. She soon rested her chin on his hairline and gently sniffed the top of his hair.

"I didn't know you used shampoo..."

He closed his eyes. "That's rather offensive. Just because I'm not human doesn't mean I don't clean myself."

"You usually smell good no matter what form you're in." She admitted with a blush. "This smells...really amazing."

She leaned forward and sniffed again, using her hands to smooth out his hair while she did so. Elias relaxed in the chair as let her do whatever she pleased. She seemed to be having fun, and he couldn't blame her. He felt entranced playing with her hair...he could only imagine it'd be the same for her. And he knew she was enjoying herself, because the moment he peeked up, he found a bright smile on her lips.

"Did you copy Simon's lushness?" She teased.

"I'll have you know there are differences between our hair." Elias remarked. "I simply thought blonde was a nice color, is all."

Chise giggled. She yelped a bit when she suddenly felt the magus pull her downwards. She was now face-to-face with him and was staring at his hazel eyes. She couldn't help but go a little warm at this appearance. She knew he wasn't truly human - but it was quite the facade. His strong jawline and masculine features really showed to her now. Maybe it was because of how involved they were with each other...

The redhead closed her eyes and leaned forward to lock her lips with his. Elias didn't hesitated to kiss her back. He rested a gloved hand on the back of her head while they kissed. She felt his fingers play with her stands during their kiss. Chise decided to play with his, too. They both broke the kiss to smile for a moment, and locked them once more a moment after. The two of them continued to feel the softness of each other's hair while they kissed.

For how long, they didn't know.
