"Just.. can you take it down? Just straight across, or ah.. we'd need to find some sharp scissors - I wonder if the labs have any. And.. Ami, I don't know how you do it, like. I have a hard enough time washing my hair - and doesn't it kill your scalp?"
It probably did. Sasha's did... and such lengthy hair encouraged pettings - something Sasha was growing annoyed with.
"We could cut it just, like. Straight across."

Ami looked over at the clock in the room. They'd been sitting here for nearly 15 minutes now. If Sasha' lunch break was a half hour, she'd only have fifteen minutes and that definitely wasn't enough time to undo it, decide on a cut, and then retie it again.
Hesitantly, she said, "Ugh I know. It's ridiculous the amount of shampoo I go through. That'll be another great reason to cut it, yeah?" She smiled, and finished off the end of her sandwich, tossing the little baggy in the trash. "Ack I probably don't have enough time to take it down- when do you finish your shift? I can meet you here afterwards?"

Sasha hummed and glanced at the clock briefly.
"After lunch I take the doctor his tea. It doesn't take long. I come back here after that and finish up usually around two or so? But.. I mean, I can always catch up in here tomorrow."
Sasha crammed the second half of her sandwich in her mouth, chewing like mad before swallowing.
"Actually, let me go take the doctor his tea early. I'll come back here early, and finish my shift early and then!"
She clapped her hands together.
"Hair."

Ami couldn't help but smile. Sasha was so excitable. The doctor? Who exactly was this doctor? She knew of Dr. H, but from the rumors she heard, she couldn't imagine him having tea with Sasha unless they were ... No, Sasha was too innocent for that. Far too innocent.
Either way, she scooted out the door with a little wave and said, "I'll be in the library, okay? I'll swing by around two ..." With that, she departed and headed for the books. She had research to do.
---
Some time later, Ami returned to the spot, in a much more casual outfit, and three books heaved under her arm. She looked around the lab, not seeing Sasha in the same spot she'd been before. "Hello? Sasha?" she said aimlessly, looking for her black haired compatriot. This could get rather awkward rather quickly ...

"Be right there, Ami!"
There was a crash, a loud squeal, the sound of tiny footsteps soon followed by another loud crash.
Approximately two minutes later, a very disheveled Sasha made an appearance, entering from the next room over. Her hair was a mess, and the trainee was rapidly making attempts to straighten herself out.
"Sorry, ahh. Minipets can get kind of um."
She removed her jacket and folded it over the back of a nearby chair, a large smile on her face.
"Rowdy?"

Ami looked somewhat concerned over the girl's staggering entrance. "Ah ... you okay?" If they did that to poor Sasha, Ami didn't want to meet the minipets.
Well okay, she did. To be honest, she was always curious what exactly the life labs did with their minipets.
To keep herself busy, she pulled a stool up near the sink, which had a large shiny mirror propped up behind it. It was a utility sink for minipets, but it would do. "How was tea with the doctor?" she said vaguely, not really putting an tone to "doctor" as she still wasn't quite sure who Sasha was referring to.

"I'm ah.. I'm fine."
Sasha looked momentarily confused at the phrase 'with the doctor' before she burst into laughter.
"Oh, gosh, with the doctor? No, no." She fanned her face with her hands. "Since Clarice is gone, and ah.. I. Well, I was assigned her smaller duties. Like, um. Taking the doctor tea and coffee. Meals. Shaving. That kind of stuff, nothing big."
She shrugged.
"He's usually pretty busy, so I just sneak in and um. Drop off his tea or coffee and then just like.. sneak back out."

"Ohhhh. I understand. When you said "take tea" I thought you meant in the European sense of the words!" She let out a laugh of relief. Something about having tea with "the" doctor instead of "a" doctor just sounded incriminating.
Ami stopped laughing though as soon as Sasha said shave. "You ... shave him?" She was judging you Sasha.
Judging you so hard.

"Yes."
Sasha narrowed her eyes, amusement gone.
"Once a week."

"That's absolutely disgusting and I want know part in that, okay?" she explained very clearly, "I will let you know that I think that's really ******** weird, but still respect you as a person." Just letting it out in the air was the best way to go about things, in Ami's opinion.
Shaking her head, she said, "So ... my hair?" Now she was just thinking about Sasha shaving someone. Poor sweet Sasha.

Sasha's face was blank.
"There's.. nothing gross about shaving. Do you know how.. how uncomfortable a heavy beard can be? And it's.. it's an art, really, okay? Like, there's a lot to pay attention to, like, especially when giving a straight razor shave. The direction of hair growth, the precise edge that the razor needs to be honed to, the angle with which the razor is held, proper application of lather! It's.. it's not disgusting!"
She took a deep breath.
"Why do you think it's really frickin' weird?!"

Ami held up her hands in defeat. "Okay okay, it's an art. Sorry I just personally think its weird because that's another persons bodily hair. I just ... I don't really like touching people much? So the idea of touching someone's chin and scraping it is just really really gross to me."
She realized Sasha was a little more bug-eyed than usual and said, "Sorry I didn't mean to offend you or anything ..." Worked up Sasha was a little scary!

Sasha wilted slightly, a sheepish expression on her face.
"Sorry."
She cleared her throat.
"I'm passionate about.. a few things. My flute, um. Music. Peeling potatoes. Shaving."
It was a small, strange list.

Ami shrugged and said, "It's okay. I'd probably get just as worked up if someone insulted Catcher in the Rye." She eyed the books she'd left earlier this morning and said, "Or Harry Potter."
"I ... brought a picture of what I think would look good?" she said, waving an iphone that had her idea on it. "Nothing too difficult ... just shorter, with a little more volume?"
She tugged on her hair lightly and added, "With bangs, though." Her fingers were already working busily to untie the long strawberry blonde locks that fell somewhere around her hips.

"Or Harry Potter."
Sasha exhaled, laughing as she reached for the phone.
"Oooh, yes, this is.. this will look great, Ami. We can do this. I can do this. Just need um. Like I said, sharp scissors. When do you want to do this?"
