"Unique! I like it!"

And of course its Kaya, sporting the waterbender hair loopies, smiling at Anwei.

How long had she been watching? Anyone's guess really.

"Is that typical in your world?"

Kaya giggled. "Never seen anything like it, but its pretty out there! It makes me wonder what people were thinking aesthetically when they came up with it, you know?"

She smiled. "It's simple, but I think its pretty nice, even for what it makes me think about."

"That's quite a lot of factors to think about," Kaya said, obviously as someone who did NOT have wealth as a child and only did her best to ensure that the Fire Nation did not reach them and burn their villages to the ground.

"So you were that wealthy then? Must have been nice!" She actually said this with no malice.

Missed. "Everything, honestly," she said sighing. "The villages, the animals, the cold, all of it. It happens every once and while."

"I knew a few people like that...well, one person, actually. Her parents were a little different, but when it comes down to it, having all that money or not, something is always going to be missing somehow. it' s a sham that your parents didn't spend more time with you though: I'm sure they would be proud of you."

She hoped anyway.

"I know exactly what you mean, although to be fair I did spend a bit of my time in other nations before I would go back to my home. At that time I wanted to be anywhere but the water tribe. Now that its gone, I feel stupid for wanting that."

Kaya smiled. "Yes, I guess I could try that, though thanks to the training from my first fighting teacher on ship, I can take the heat much better than I used to."

Kaya chuckled. "I don't know what my parents would say if they even saw half of the things on Stacy. I'm pretty sure they would be pretty hocked that it exists in the first place. But I have to admit, the hair something I'm going to have to get used to. I think I like yours better when its just short."

She nodded. "It takes some getting used to, even for someone who can literally pull the water out of the air! But you know, we rarely get the chance to pamper ourselves. Hey, what's say that we both get a full on heated spa treatment? It could be nice!"

Kaya giggled. "It is a little impractical! It's the same reason that I don't have my hair loose all the time: forget the breezes, the humidity would constantly make my hair frizz! But I guess its the sort of thing that you have to make adjustments for here."

She nodded. "I'm almost curious about how I would wear my hair like that! I probably couldn't though: it isn't anywhere near that long!"

"Really? So its just an excuse to go all over the top and be crazy? It sounds crazy, but you know, maybe its exactly the type of thing a girl needs to do, just do they don't feel like they'll go crazy, being...what the ship makes you over time."

She laughed. "I have no idea what you;re taking about! Show me!"
kaya_waterwave: (Flush)

[personal profile] kaya_waterwave 2012-06-14 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Kaya laughed. "You know, I think I'm really glad that I trained my muscles and joints so I would be able to take all of this! It looks like it would take much too much work!"

Oh, but she looked excited.

"I think I'll try it that big. I can manage it."

That was definitely not going to be an issue for Kaya: she had been practicing balance a long time, and with the training on the ship the hairstyle simply meant she had to keep herself calibrated well.

The last thing she had expected, though was THIS. The hairstyle was both lavish and complimentary, and it was far and above one of the most beautiful things that Kaya had ever seen. Best if all, somehow, it felt like home. She didn't know how to describe it, but it somehow just seemed right.

"It's beautiful," she said, almost speechless. "I don't know if I would wear it more than maybe once or twice, but its something that people should do every once and awhile. And you say that where you're from they do this all of the time?"

[personal profile] kaya_waterwave 2012-06-16 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaya flushed. "Thanks, Awei, but it was your brilliant plan that made this look so good! I love it, I really do! If there were a way to tale pictures, trust me, I definitely want to do it!"

She laughed, almost wanting to give the girl a hug but deciding against it, assuming that she would fall over if she did.

Kaya shook her head. "You can say that again! I don't know if I could that so often, it would kill any of the fun and spontaneity. But I guess every society has some quirk that they do that can go over the top."

She might think of a few in her own case.
kaya_waterwave: (Hmm?)

[personal profile] kaya_waterwave 2012-06-18 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Kaya nodded. "I wouldn't mind wearing it again, so long as you were the designer! You really have a knack for this kind of thing! It's truly amazing."

The porpoise chirped, and she laughed lightly.

"So am I, actually. I think the worse thing about the Northern Water Tribe is that we were trapped by traditions and the threat of war. We never got to evolve, or help our sister tribe in the South. That was starting to come along until...well, the Ohm."

"Sounds exhausting," Kaya commented, shaking her head a little, "but in the end I think it all comes down to what you learned when you live in the times of your world. I had to learn some things too, as was expected of any girl in my tribe."

Healing if you could bend, cooking, preparing children, having them and being married yourself. These were things that came with being from the Northern water tribe.

"You're usually given power by being the daughter of the chief," Kaya said. "Otherwise, well, you do what your tribe expects. I was starting to see great change though, after the defeat of the fire nation. I hope now that if i go back to the Northern water tribe, I can teach girls new ways to protect themselves and strengthen the ties with each other and other people."

"I see there might be a few similarities between your culture and mine," Kaya observed. "We weren't as strict when it came to daily life, although as I told you, we really could have been better when it came to the lives of women back then."

"Cute allies?" This caught Kaya's interest, not to mention her amusement. "How would that effect anything?"

"We've lived with it a long time, and its why a section of those waterbenders split off and became the Southern Water tribe. I have a feeling that the Fire Nation saw both men and women as benders as a threat and attacked them first. It didn't help they didn't have as treacherous terrain as we do either. So our tribe remained intact, but at the cost of being shut off from everyone else."

Women with higher status? Sounded almost fiction to her in some ways.

"Even if I became a leader, it wouldn't be my place to send away others! I find that, from my own teachers, you start to teach them just as much as they teach you in some ways. Though they might be podded now, I feel like my teachers learned from me as much as I did from them, especially when they have to adapt their methods."

Starfire has allowed herself to be herded in. Hairdos were no cure for depression, only a distraction, but anything was surely better than nothing.

She found herself sporting massively extended long hair, fanning out in a complicated poof that almost resembled a trail of fire. She poked at it, rather confused.

"It is fashionable to tangle oneself in so much hair?"
