“Not sure that would work well, and you might give your mother a heart attack.” Lydia replied.

“Sky mom or earth mom?” Trent asked, a bit amused. “Either way, it’s being… unruly. I’m not a fan of unruly. It ought to listen to me.” He complained, quietly, mumbling under his breath. “I may need to convince someone to aid me in taming it after the shower.”

Lydia thought for a second, unsure if she should offer, but definitely not in front of Sam. “I’m not sure that your hair is capable of listening to you.”

“It needs to learn to be.” Trenton complained. The parts of his hair the dried had taken to sticking up at different angles despite Trent’s valiant attempts to flatten and smooth it out. “Don’t you see why I need so much hair gel? I look like an imbecile.”

“You look fine.” Lydia and Sam spoke at the same time.

“You are not allowed to say that.” Trenton rolled his eyes at the both of them. “Not after the haircut you had earlier. I’ll teach you how to cut your own hair later so that never happens again.”

Lydia feigned offense, while Sam said, “Oh, you got your hair cut.”
“Did you just now notice that?” Lydia asked, eyebrow raised.

“You have good hair anyways. It was healthy.” Trent commented absentmindedly, stopping for moment to flick sand off his foot in the same manner in which a cat flicks water off its paw.

“Well that’s good I suppose.”

Trenton spotted the showers and started to walk towards them. Suddenly he froze. “I forgot! Ugh—“ He cut himself off spinning on his heel and heading towards the cabins abruptly.

“Ok then.” Lydia said, then nodded towards the showers. “Go.” She ruffles Sam’s hair as he went.

Trenton came back a few minutes later, grumbling quietly to himself. In his arms was a change of clothes, a fancy looking shampoo bottle, and two extra CHB shirts. He set down the other thing, holding onto the extra shirts. “One for you and one for Sam. You both got a bit wet from the water.” He held out the clothes for Lydia to take. “They’re both mine so they might be bigger on you and Sam.”

“Thanks.” Lydia said, handing one to Sam. “Now for real, Sam, go shower.” Sam has stopped as he’d seen Trent.

Trenton nodded his head swiftly in acknowledgment before taking a shower that was longer than necessary in order to get all the dry salt out of his hair. “I despise ocean water.” Trenton stepped out of the shower, wearing everything but his shirt as he used a towel to dry his hair, the shirt in question swung over his shoulder.

If one was paying attention they’d see a misshapen area of skin on Trent’s left abdomen. Trademarked by what clearly had occurred after stitches had only mended some of a wound where an incision had been made giving the area the appearance that his skin was patchwork.

Lydia waited patiently outside the showers.
(I have to go in 15 minutes or so)

He finished getting dressed, but continued drying his hair. “Greetings.” Trenton’s goofy smile didn’t match his formal greeting as he strutted out of the showers.

(Okay!)

“Hi.” Lydia replied, smirking a bit.

“Where’s the King?” Trent asked, referring to Sam. He then chewed his lower lip. “Ah, Im interrupting sibling time, am I not?”

“You’re good. I’m pretty sure Sam’s adopted you into our family.”

“You both seem to adopt people rather quickly into this family of yours.” Trent remarked. He meant to be out of amusement, but the excitement and relief from being accepted practically glowed on his face.

Lydia smiled. “Yes, I guess we do.”

(I’m going to go to sleep! Gnight guys!)

Trenton pondered this thoughtfully for a moment. “It is unexpected for children of the revenge goddess to show such kindness. I rather like that about you both.”

“You haven’t done anything to us, so no reason for us to get revenge.” Lydia said, only half meaning it.
(Good night!)

Trenton raised an eyebrow at her. “Is that a threat, dwarf? I don’t think you have what it takes. I’m too charming.”

“If we don’t take revenge, our mother might.”
