I really like that picture
"Is this also part of your demands, Fauna?", Kronii asks looking at the keeper of nature holding a hairbrush
"This isn't minecraft you silly girl, I just want to pamper you for a bit" Fauna told her while getting behind her
"...Fine"
Fauna started her work, carefully brushing her hair, using her hands from time to time to stroke her head too
"...I'm too old for head pats", Fauna could tell she was pouting
"It's part of the service", she responded with a giggle
"You know, for being able to control time, you aren't putting much of it to care for yourself, there's so many knots, Kronii", she remarked with a worried tone
"...I just forget, okay? Leave me alone" Fauna could tell she was getting annoyed
She slowed down her pace, opting to use her hands a bit more
"You've been working pretty hard, haven't you?"
"...Not really, I can still do more"
"You have, you're just a teeny bit clumsy is all. You also need to communicate a bit better, you don't have to do this all by yourself"
Kronii didn't respond, so Fauna continued
"You know the council is there for you, as you are there for us, so there's no harm in asking for help every now and then"
Kronii noticed she stopped stroking her hair
"Because we aaaaaaaalll love you"
She heard Fauna right next to her ear and felt how she hugged her from behind.
She felt her warmth
She slowly grabbed Fauna's hand while she was still holding her, tears welling up in her eyes
"....Then.... Can I ask you to brush my hair again?"
"Whenever you want, Kronii", she responded squeezing a bit more
She almost wanted to stop time to make this last longer
But she simply closed her eyes, and accepted Fauna's kindness
