Lara made the stroke practically before he'd finished the sentence. Short and sharp...that was the way to get these things done. The weight of the hair in her hand was much more than she expected and she couldn't believe he'd been carrying this around for all his life. She brought it round in between them and showed it to him.

"First cut is the hardest." She said, laying the long, thick tail over her knees and setting about the rest of his hair. She wasn't a barber, but she could make it neat at least and she trimmed until it looked respectable, shortish around the sides and a little longer on top.

Carefully, she pulled his head down until his forehead was resting on her chest and she could see the back to tidy that up too. It was an intimate position and she couldn't help arching under the weight of his head, some instinctual behavior, putting herself on display for him a little. Maybe it was to distract him a little from the shock of the cold air on his neck, either way, she was warm and comfortable and when she finished, she lingered, not wanting it to be over.
