Sasha bit her lower lip, thoughtfully running her fingers through Jerry's hair.
"I don't know. I like it like this, honestly. And.. to be honest, like you've asked, Rin. I think I might get upset with Jerry if he let anyone else cut his hair."
She smiled, half-joking, though her tone was still gentle.

Jerry merely blushed, his lips pursed.
He shouldn't feel guilty about this. He shouldn't feel bad denying her what clearly good intentions.
But he did feel strongly that Rin was just not getting the message. Jordan and he had had their awkwardness, but at least... Jordan had respectfully done his best to try to make it as unawkward as possible. He respected his boundaries. He respected their relationship, and his freedom to be comfortable in... whatever it was he and Sasha had.
He felt like even with their time together, they still were making baby steps. Maybe because their alone time had been minimal, between parties and hovering friends and missions....
"I'm alright, I think," He muttered. She liked longer hair. It felt rebellious, in a way letting it grow out in ways his grandmother never would have allowed.
He was his own man.
He was an Alpha Wolf, and he had the right to defend his mate.

Rin chuckled and smiled, "Alright alright. No trim. It was just a thought you know, while he was being shaved."
The smile relaxed a bit, "I think you look nice either way Jerry."
She suddenly got up from the bed and attempted to hug Sasha, "You have a nice trip, okay? Come back with lots of stories," and then she offered Jerry her hand, "If you need a hand with anything, let me know? You know where you can find me."
Rin wasn't aware alone time was minimal at all, really. They'd been sharing a room together for days by this point and she's not visited the room since he'd moved in after all. The assumption was generally that those two were doing private things together at this point. Filthy dirty private things. Rin was somewhat also afraid of interrupting those sorts of things. Maybe Jerry would blast her head clean off with Roar if she had.
She wasn't sure if they wanted anything else from her at this point but she still offered up a wave, "See y'all later?"

"I'll bring you back something," Sasha smiled, returning Rin's hug tightly. Despite everything that had happened, Rin was still the closest friend that Sasha had - and that counted for something, didn't it? It did to Sasha. She desperately needed friends like Rin - just... without the complications of attraction.
She wasn't sure what their chat had accomplished, really, but she felt better for it. At least Jerry had gotten a few things off of his chest. That was important.
"Thank you for stopping by, Rin," Sasha mumbled quietly before she broke the friendly embrace. "I'll talk to you when I get back."

Jerry remained quiet, his jaw set as he let Sasha sort things out. He didn't need to make things worse. He didn't want this sort of awkwardness to begin with.
God, all he wanted was just... a nice, normal, comforting relationship.
Without complications.
Apparently, on that island, that was unobtainable as unobtainium.

He didn't take her hand. It was okay. Rin offered a feeble little smile.
"Well, bye guys..." she offered a final wave before turning to slip out Sasha's door and back down that hallway.

Sasha exhaled harshly, wilting just the slightest as Rin left. She turned a hesitant gaze towards Jerry.
"I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for?" He murmured gently, still looking a bit flustered.

"Everything, I guess. I... should have waited to talk to you in private about taking leave on my own, but I just."
She shook her head and set her jaw.
"I need it. You understand, don't you?"

"Hmm?" He glanced up, clearly still thinking about other things before sitting on the bed with a sigh, "Oh, yes... of course! I... I'll figure out what to do with my leave, I suppose. But... but you do what you need to do to take care of yourself, okay? I know it's... it's a personal sort of trip. If you need me at any point, just give me a buzz okay? I'll be fine without you for a whole two days," He gave her a lopsided smile.

Sasha hummed thoughtfully.
"Promise you'll be fine? And look after my flute." It felt strange, but in the euphoric haze of her promotion, her new jacket - everything - she hadn't felt the urge to play the flute, or even ask about the flute.
She shuffled closer only to lean down to press her lips against his forehead.

The flute. His brows furrowed nervously. "Yeah, yeah, of course. I'll hold down the fort here, you take care of Sasha Business," He smiled, reaching up to tuck her hair behind her ear before gently leaning in to catch her lips.

Sasha enjoyed the kiss for a few fluttering heartbeats before pulling back just enough to rub the tip of her nose against Jerry's.
"Thank you," Sasha whispered softly, her breath puffing against his lips before she pulled back.
"Now, about that shave?"

He laughed, sitting back with a sly smile, "You know, I was thinking about growing a mustache!"

Sasha's expression darkened.
"I don't think that's going to happen, Jerry. I'll shave your lip in your sleep if I have to."
All of the serious when it came to facial hair. All of the serious. She narrowed her eyes, catching that sly smile.
"Jerk."
