When Evren asked if Aava was looking for something, the näkki had already found the open toolbox and a rusty swiss army knife that lay inside it, the knife end left open from its previous use. Too focused on the task to answer Evren, Aava tested the blade before gathering the mass of algae like hair that dragged behind her and beginning to cut through it in rather rugged motions.
The hair was surprisingly thick and hard to cut, be it from the blade being dull or the hair bearing a mythical essence to it. Bear in mind, Aava didn't know how to cut hair, so the end result was very choppy and uneven - she had cut strands from different lengths and angles. The longest hair pieces still reached Aava well over her lower back, whereas few of the shortest cuts reached her shoulder blades. And the näkki wasn't even halfway through, the rest of her hair cascading down to the floor like she was a bony, green haired Rapunzel. Most of the dirt and twigs were on the part that touched the floor, but even cutting Aava's hair meant she'd still have to wash it, probably. Not that the näkki cared.

Nessa's eyebrows shot up ever so slightly at Beck's suggestion. She didn't remove her gaze from her numb palms, but thought it over nonetheless. The woman's offer felt inviting, almost tempting. Beck explained herself a little, earning a small nod from Nessa in return. The ravenette cast a curious sideways glance at Beck, amber eyes meeting brown.
[color=823d99]"My leg's all healed up,"[/color] Nessa lied swiftly, her pride getting the better of her. Almost like a wounded animal, hiding its injury in hopes of not seeming weak - an easy prey. [color=823d99]"I suppose I wouldn't mind tagging along, though,"[/color] she continued then, her words concealing the fact that somehow she really did want to go with the other woman. [color=823d99]"I really need a change of scenery."[/color] It was a relief that Beck had offered, to be honest. Without that, Nessa knew she would've been too stubborn to suggest it.
Beck made being open look so easy. [i]Maybe it is,[/i] Nessa pondered. Just... not for her. Not yet.
