Everybody wins!

Yes, yes they do.

They are the winningest couple ever. 

"So," says Ruava, "was I going to help you with your hair?"

Jinx smiles. "Yeah, we should probably get around to that before we totally exhaust ourselves." 

Giggle. "Yeah."

Alright then! Towels towels towels... Clothes? ... Jinx thinks she'll follow Ruava's lead on that one. 

Clothes make interacting with furniture more comfortable! Ruava puts on clothes.

That's a good argument for clothes. Clothes it is, then!

"So would you like me to sit in a chair for this, or lie down on the bed, or...? I'm just considering the ways you can get at my hair, here."

"I think sitting in a chair that I can stand behind is probably the optimal hair-braiding position."

"Mmm, I can think of some tradeoffs. But sure, let's go with that." Jinx smiles. "The window table probably has the best light."

"Sure, window it is."

Jinx blinks. "Oh! But, uh, I should probably dye it first. That was technically the reason for the whole shower thing, after all."

"Yes, I was sort of wondering when that was going to come up."

"This shouldn't take too long: it's a really convenient dye to work with, just so long as I don't get rained on." 

Jinx shifts around the mess of combs and brushes and bottles on her bathroom counter, and turns up a bottle in the same electric-blue as her hair. One drop of herringy liquid onto her dark-brown locks, and a wave of shimmering blue spreads across her hair. 

"I gotta say, it's worth every copper for this alchemical stuff just so I don't have to work it in for a fricking half hour. Even with the fishy smell."

"That does look really convenient," Ruava agrees.

"It's a great bit of alchemy! Too bad there's nothing like that for hair braiding."

"That's what friends are for!"

"Or girlfriends." Soft kiss.

Off to the window seat! 

And now, hair-braiding!

"Mmmmmmm. So then, let's see, plans for the evening..." 

Jinx closes her eyes and leans into Ruava's hands a little.

"Hmmmm. At some point we should eat something, I'm kinda hungry," she says. "And then maybe you can teach me how to build weapons."

Jinx nods, as much as she can nod with Ruava's hands in her hair. "Mmm, now that you mention it I'm pretty hungry as well... Did we have breakfast? Or lunch? I don't think we did. That would probably explain that."

"Well, can't do much for myself on that count, but—"

She kisses the top of Jinx's head. There is a faint glow, and a feeling of pleasant comfortable warmth.

"Better?"

Jinx blinks. 

"Whoa. That helps. That helps seriously a lot. What did you just do, everything's brighter and more vivid -"
