[ There's just a lot of pot, kettle coming from Heisuke that we aren't going to address, okay. Especially since he doesn't bother saying anything further about it even if Ibuki does make a few more sounds or rub his hair. Instead Heisuke just laughs - sorry, it's not like he can hold that back - at the funny mental image of Souji really sneaking in while Ibuki's sleeping and messing with his hair.. mostly since it's just such a stupid innocent prank, and that's exactly the kind of stuff Heisuke likes compared to the most dark stuff that's been going on lately. It's the sort of prank Heisuke would pull on his best friends if he could actually pull it off.. and if Shinpachi had a little more hair.. ]

Imagine that, Souji sneaking around in the middle of the night just to mess up your hair.. sounds like he's really dedicated to you! [ It's at least half a joke, and Heisuke's still laughing after he says it and manages to more or less straighten out the knots in another strand of the blue hair. ]

Maybe it'd be easier to just let it down before you sleep.. but sleeping like that's even more of a pain, huh?

[ He Knows... the one thing Heisuke can understand no matter what is hair problems. Although in his case it probably doesn't help either that he actually looks pretty much like a girl when he has his own down. ]

And it's even worse when you have to wake up in the middle of the night and just be ready..

[ Stupid middle-of-the-night missions lately. With the trouble with the rasetsu growing, it's just been happening more and more often that they've all had to go on a hunt in the middle of the night.. even though it's a little hard to imagine compared to the image of them sitting there eating rice balls and doing their hair right now in bright daylight. ]
