"Oh, so you pull it out yourself? Or uh, do you cut it? I rem-ember some amaliens cut their hair if they don't like how long it is na-turally."

"My mom cuts it for me. Pulling it would hurt!"

"Oh, yeah. Usually if you have just one or two that are too long you could pull em a bit early but I just wait for mine to fall out."

"And it looks like you never brush it!" pick pick pick pick will this ever untangle

"I don't! I like it like this! That way it looks all naturey."

Maybe, though there are plenty more tangles after that.

"I wonder what it'd look like if you did ever."

"Oh, it'd look sorta like a very big upside down tri-angle thing? Unless it's wet, then it'd look sorta like other wet hair."

"It's also long enough when it's not tangly that it makes climbing hard some-times."

"You could put it in a braid. My mom does braids."

"Those come out and it would just get tangly and also it looks less like me and also it makes it harder to tell if there's lightning."

"Your hair can tell when there's lightning? Wow!"

"Yeah, it sorta sticks up if I'm 'bout to be zapped. And it's not too wet right before."

"Do you have to sleep for a YEAR if you get zapped?"

"I don't think it'd have to be for one of your years us-ually? Sometimes it's only a few weeks."

"I think I did have a friend who go struck by a really big one and had to nap for a bunch of years. I napped with him so he had company."

"Can you tell if you have napping company? Did you dream I was there or anything?"

"Can sorta tell? Is like... warm and cozy and I can remember that and if there was a loud sound and I did wake-up for a bit woulda known you were there. Not sure how to de-scribe it."

"Awww." Snuggle.

Snuggle! Soft snuggles. 

'ventually it is time for Kota to sleep, and Fika to head back to her yellow.

The yellow is pleased to see her. "I hoped you were all better, I noticed the granola was gone."

"Yeah! It was yummy."

"I was napping for a while, I hope you didn't get too much older."

"Not too much, no, but I missed having a snuggly Amalien sleeping over."

"I missed have a yellow to sleep with! You coulda visited me?"

"You were in the hospital! I don't like being in hospitals if I can avoid it."

"Oh, why? They're very cozy nap places."

"They're full of sick people. You don't get sick, but I can."
