cawaii[ listen, it's been a long time since Jinwoo's shared a house with anyone but Lapis, and he's read about how old people can sometimes like. fall and break a hip and it fucks them up really badly so of course he's worried!!!
But he calms down a bit when Husk shouts back with irritation rather than pain or panic--and he's gonna put the tea aside to slowly move down the hallway. ]
I bought that shampoo for you given you'd need something more efficient than the stuff I normally use. [ you know, the tiny bottles of some prissy designer brand because deep down he's still a tv star and is very vain. he'd bought a bigger more grocery-store brand for husk for when he would stay given he has a ... lot of fur, and his little bottles of product wouldn't quite cut it. ] Is there something wrong with it?
....
Did it make your fur go curly? Some products can make your hair frizzy, I'm sorry, maybe I should have gotten pet shampoo...

[ Yeah, if Husk's yelling like that, then the old man is fine. It does make her wonder what exactly has gone wrong though, and she takes a moment to push herself off the couch with a wince. Ugh, it really is like she's pulled every muscle... ]
I doubt that's it, you should see him when it's humid. [ Nothing can save his fur then, it's a lost cause. And pet... shampoo...
Lapis knows what he means, but - ] And wording, Jinwoo.
[ But she makes her way down the hallway too, leaning against the wall by the bathroom door. Standing without support is still difficult, and she has to resist the urge to schlump down and sit on the floor. ]
I haven't touched it either. So, what's happened?

[Husk would not have had much luck with Jinwoo's prissy-ass shampoo, that's true. One of those tiny bottles might have covered a leg, if he was lucky. ]
It's not fuckin' frizzy!!!
[The humidity is a cruel mistress to him. But unfortunately, Jinwoo used the P Word and an annoyed, angry gurgling growl comes from somewhere in the bathroom.]
I'm not using pet shampoo you fuckin' shitting shit. I'm not a fuckin' pet.
[Sorry, Jinwoo, that's a Trigger Word. He almost opens the door when he hears Lapis get closer.]
Okay. I'm gonna show you, but if you laugh, I'm fying outta the window and I won't come back. Deal?
[And then, he'll open the door, gesturing with annoyance at his damp, yellowed fur.]
It's fuckin' yellow.
[You know. In case. They didn't notice. ]

[You know. In case. They didn't notice. ]
--I didn't mean pet shampoo in the way that--you're. Just. It's better for fur?! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. [ he's making a real mess of this, both of his hands are coming up to wave them in a way that's supposed to be apologetic.
Not that Husk will see it until he comes out to.
Show off his new Dandelion form.
Jinwoo doesn't want to stare.
But Jinwoo is staring.
He's only just getting used to breathing again, so holding his breath to keep the laugh IN is remarkably easy, but his face is definitely turning a bit reddish with the effort.
he'll turn away, respectfully. ]
--I'm going to get my laptop. I'll.
I'll start researching ways of getting it out. And maybe contact the. Manufacturing company.
[ he's running out of air. ]

[ Oh. Oh, Husk sure is...
Yellow.
Incredibly yellow.
Lapis also just... stares for a good moment. Maybe two moments.
He says not to laugh, and the noise Lapis makes to hold back her laugh is impossible to hide. Even as she brings her hands over her face, desperately trying to hold it together.
- Ow ow ow, laughing hurts actually, and there's a wince as she lets out a wheeze like a deflating balloon - dragging her hands down her face. Keep it together, Lapis. ]
I-I'm not laughing. [ This isn't laughing. She swears. ] Aha - Ahem, right maybe we can... see what we can do with this now while Jinwoo looks. And tries not to suffocate.
[ It's so obnoxiously bright, how the hell did this happen?? Lapis pushes herself from the wall with a wince, hand resting against it to keep herself propped up while the other is offered expectantly. ]
Let me see the stuff you used, dad.

[He will remember the pet shampoo comment, Jinwoo. He will remember it and bring it up years, decades from now. This insult will hang over you until the end of your days.
He steps outside and watches the kids try and fail not to laugh at this nonsense he's dealing with. His tail flicks in annoyance as he folds his arms across his chest like that will do anything to hide all the YELLOW. A low, grumbling, muttering growl bubbles out of his throat.]
You're both fuckin' laughing- Jinwoo's about to fuckin' pass out- breathe, you goddamn idiot.
[Still. At least they're offering solutions, which is better than complete and open mockery. So, muttering curses under his breath, he turns to the bathroom, pulling out the big bottle of shampoo which... honestly just looks like regular shampoo. Nothing on it suggests this should be dyeing anything. He holds it out to them.]
Look. Just a fuckin' normal-ass shampoo bottle. I don't fuckin' get it.

[ please forget the pet shampoo comment effective immediately. he wants to shrivel up and die. english is a hard second language, even if you've spent ten+ years learning it.
He's going to breathe. Breathing. He's breathing. He clears his throat to prove it.
He's also flicking open his laptop on the coffee table and typing in a few things--remembering the brand and typing it into the search bar.
...
There's a long quiet silence for a moment as Husk and Lapis deliberate over the bottle, and then Jinwoo sighs. ]
You guys are gonna' wanna come read this.
I found a news article.

[ Sorry Jinwoo this is your fate, for years to come. They will remember this.
And Lapis does let one little giggle slip out, before she reaches for the bottle - taking a look over it with a hum, while Jinwoo gets his laptop. It seems... perfectly normal, and she turns it over in her hands as she examines it closely. Nothing weird is written on the label either, and she shakes her head with a faint hum of confusion.
It sounds like Jinwoo has found something though, her head perking up with a curious sound - and sorry Husk, but she's going to use you as support since moving around still aches. But once they have view of the laptop, she chirps up with; ]
What does it say?

[ Sorry Jinwoo, the Polygot Agapovs will never let you rest on this.
Husk's ears pin back at the giggle, heaving an annoyed sigh. His existence continues to be a prison. He doesn't mind being the support, though, bending a little so she can get a better grip on him without stretching. He peers over Jinwoo's shoulder. ]
...How bad is it? This shit better come out.

[ this is his life. He'll learn to live with it. Suffer with it. It's fine. He's found himself caring about these two a lot and dealing with them getting annoyed at him for his lack of intelligent responses is just gonna be a fact of life.
He gives a slow sigh as he starts to read out the article... ]
'Complete Recall on Maybelleaf's Soft and Silky Line of shampoos, after factory mishap that caused many of its products to become cross-contaminated with its line of popular 'Panic Magick' temporary hair color. While most of the bottles of contaminated product was caught and taken off the line before distribution, it has come to the company's attention that some of the mixed bottles had made it past inspection and may have been distributed to the general public. If you have found one of these bottles please contact the number below for a refund...'
[ he trails off and turns the screen towards the other two. Showing a bottle that looks identical to the one that Lapis is holding, as well as a dozen little jars of temporary violently-colored hair dyes... ]

[ It's okay Jinwoo, Lapis still loves you even if you just... say things sometimes. It's a charm point.
And she'll listen silently as he reads the article, tilting her head with a low hum - squinting at the pictures as he turns the screen towards them. Yeah, those violent shades certainly match with how... aggressively yellow Husk is right now. ]
Well. [ She says with a click of her tongue, letting herself lean against her dad as she examines the bottle. ] At least we can get a refund, and it's temporary.
[ So not all terrible - ]
So after a few washes you'll stop being mustard coloured, dad.

[It's a fact of life but they let you live amongst them anyway. Like a feral cat colony accepting you as one of their own or something.
The article is just a bitch-ass cherry on top of his shit sandwich. He stares at the HORRIBLE YELLOW and drags a clawed handle slowly down his face with a long-suffering groan. ]
Jesus fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I know my luck is dogshit, but it should be this fuckin' bad. How the fuck do you mess it up that badly?
[This is a nightmare. He didn't ask for any of this. ]
Well. Like fuck am I goin' outside like this.

I... I don't know. Maybe a funky new hair color isn't so bad. [ ...even if red and yellow kind of give him drifting thoughts about Anpanman... ]
But Lapis is right. At least the type of dye that. Somehow got mixed into the shampoo bottle is temporary dye and can wash out quickly...
So at least you aren't stuck with it for a few months...?
[ after living so long with Bad Luck-itis, Jinwoo has taken up the habit of "think of the positives"--where the positive is usually "let's imagine how this could have been worse." ]

Yeah, changing things up isn't that terrible. [ Gotta think on the brightside! It's a trait she has mastered due to... having a dad, a cousin and a boyfriend all with terrible luck. So much bad luck. ]
And after a few washes it will come out, so it's not permanent. Like Jinwoo said, only a few months. [ Lapis will shift to take a look at that horribly, violent yellow that is now Husk's fur; considering their options for a moment. ]
I'll look up methods for getting dye out faster too. And if you need something, Jinwoo and I can get it for you if you really don't want to go outside.
[ ... Let's be honest, that will mostly just be Jinwoo for the moment. Lapis is still struggling to stand upright without support.
So he will have to be errand boy. ]

Okay, I'd like to see how much you fun chucklefucks would think "changing it up" to a "funky new hair colour" would be if your hair looked like you'd been mauled by a fuckin' Teletubby.
[ Do YOU guys want the bright yellow hair? Do you?!!
Still, the kids are offering reasonable solutions here, so he heaves out a long, tired sigh. ]
I mean. I guess it's not like I lost a leg or something. [ Because that's the logical escalation of this. Limb loss.] And fiiiine. Once it's less fuckin' obnoxiously yellow I'll head out again. Thanks, I guess.

[ It's a very particular day today, and so Lapis is a little bit nervous. Most recent Father's Days she's been on missions or travelling, so all she could really do is call Husk when she had a moment to spare and timezones aligned.
But this time she can put in a little more effort - especially since this year, it's official. She's now an Agapov, so she wants to do a little extra for Husk. It took some hours at the forge and some assistance from her brother, but she managed to make something...
So Husk is at Jinwoo and hers place today - after her insistence that he come over - and at one point during the day, Lapis will be cornering her dad with a gift. ]
Ah, here you go. [ It's a small-ish, slim box neatly wrapped in red paper. Once he tears through that, he'll find it's a metallic playing card - with the Ace of Spades design on the front. It's not just a card though, as he'll find he'll be able to actually open it; inside are two photos, one on the inner panel and one right in the centre, of them both. Back from a few years ago, when she was young, and something more recent.
And inside the trinket is an engraving: "Thank you for being my dad. I love you."
Meanwhile Lapis absently twists her fingers together, giving him a soft smile; quietly anxious for his reaction. ]
Happy Father's Day.

Happy Father's Day.
[ Father's Days really aren't something that Husk has seen a lot of. It's always been nice to get a call from Lapis, of course, but he's never really expected more than that. Everything had always been so tricky, especially when they weren't even on the same continent.
But it's different this year. He was honestly already a little sus given how insistent Lapis was that he stayed in her place today. So when she corners him with a present, he really should have seen it coming. He takes it with a soft grumble with no real venom to it at all. ]
Didn't have to go through so much trouble.
[He's just saying it for show though, really. Typically adding to the grouchiness they both know is more front than it is anything genuine. He opens the gift, eyebrows rising in surprise because this is... actually really fucking nice. He turns the card in his fingers, letting it slide between them in that old, practised sleight-of-hand. And then he opens it and... oh.
The pictures were wonderful, they tugged at his old, grumpy heartstrings. But that engraving? That was a fatal shot. He stares at it for a moment. Jesus, fuck, he really did luck out and get the only decent thing in his whole fucking life with her, didn't he? Something in his chest aches- before he clears his throat- trying to mask the emotion welling up in there, even if it's not as well hidden from his voice as he'd like to think. ]
That's - [ he sniffs- allergies - rubbing a knuckle over his eye ] that's a really fuckin' nice gift, Lapis. Thanks.

[ Lapis watches, quiet, for his reaction; maybe it's silly to be so anxious, but she did want to make this year a special one. And she wanted Husk to know that she appreciates him - even with all the dumb fights and stupid bullshit they get into, there's nobody else who she would want to be her dad. He was there for her when she was brought into the Order an angry, traumatised mess and he kept being there for her as the Order kept trying to wear her down.
But seeing him try - and fail - to hide the emotion the gift brings is enough to make her perk up, giving him a warm smile in response. She's thrilled he likes it, and even more so that it at least shows a fraction of how much she cares about him. ]
I'm glad you like it... [ And the best cure for 'allergies'? A hug, of course, and she steps closer so that she can wrap her arms around him. ]
I love you, dad.

[Honestly their dumb fights and stupid bullshit were how they truly showed they loved each other. Sure, they might look insane and petty to anyone on the outside, but that's just how the Agapovs roll. Though as much as Husk generally wasn't one for big shows of emotion, Lapis really did mean the whole fucking universe to him. He'd do anything for her. With only minimal grumbling.
The hug is a great cure for his terrible 'allergies', and he returns it, giving her a tight squeeze. ]
I love it, you Dumbass. [ An affectionate "dumbass", full of love. ] I love you too, Lapis. Thanks. It's uh- it's real special.

...Okay, you got us there. Changing it up isn't a bad idea, but yellow is... definitely not the color i'd choose.
Maybe purple, or maybe even blue...
[ he trails off quietly as he closes his laptop, tipping his head back to look at Husk with a sort of crooked, well-meaning smile. ]
I can go out and get you guys anything, Lapis is right.
Maybe I can find some sort of shampoo that's good at getting temporary dye out...

Is this you offering to dye your hair in solidarity?
[ The words are said with a soft chuckle, a small grin directed Jinwoo's way, before she hums in agreement. ]
There should be something like that... Clarifying shampoo is meant to be good for that, so there's one option.
[ And with a gentle nudge in Husk's side; ]
So you'll be fine. It will just take a few washes until it's not as insanely bright, that's all.

...You know that would take the sting outta the whole experience.
[Don't listen to the Agapovs, Jinwoo. Don't let them do this to you. You're a good boy! Husk is glad for the help though, it's genuinely helpful. ]
Yeah? You think that'll work? Well. I'll give it a shot, gotta be worth it. Thanks, Kid. [That's to Jinwoo. For offering to go get it. He rolls his eyes as his daughter nudges him, heaving out a sigh. ] I'll take it. Anything's better than looking like a fuckin' Peep.

[ he cant help it he's too polite for his own good sometimes.
hes standing here
considering it
looking between yellow husk and red lapis .... ]
...I. Well. Lapis did mention I needed more color in my wardrobe...
[ he's trying so hard to imagine himself with purple hair right now and it's not going well.
.....could he even get his hair dyed, what would a hair dresser do about his horns.... ]
I mean, what's the worst that could happen. The product I buy being tainted with blue dye this time...
[ It's a joke but
...
it's a very real possibility isn't it
he clears his throat. ]
I'll go out now, if you two think you can handle yourselves for an hour on your own.

[ There's a tight squeeze in return, not able to stop herself from smiling brightly now as she leans back just enough to peer up at him. He really does mean the world to her, so she's glad she has a chance to try to properly show this - and being lovingly called a "dumbass" only makes her giggle. ]
I wanted to make something a little more special this year. Especially now that I'm officially an Agapov and we can celebrate this in person.
[ She'll even let him choose to have Taco Bell for dinner and she'll not complain at all - ]
