Hair

[maimh]

Some types of animals had long fur, Batarians was covered in a short fuzz, but Humans? Liara knew they had this “hair” on top of their head, similar to her tendrils, and she knew the length could vary, but she had never anticipated just how much of it there could be hiding in the normally innocent looking “bun” tightly bound at the back of Shepards head.

“Shepard, are you alright?” Liara carefully asked.
Shepard looked up from her breakfast, giving the asari a confused look.

“Eh, sure? What are you talking about?” The commander then casually brushed the sheer curtain of brown curls away from her face.

Liara suppressed the urge to squeak, it just did not look natural. The hair was utterly shrouding the human’s upper body, making her head seem swollen or disfigured. By the Goddess, Liara could barely see the commander’s shoulders!

“Oh, nothing Shepard, it’s just..is that normal?” Liara carefully poked a stray lock curled up upon the tabletop.

“What? The hair?” Shepard chuckled, “well I guess it is not entirely protocol, but as long as I keep it in a bun it’s alright. And a girl with hair like this can’t help to be a little vain about it.” She winked then, making the other humans at the table laugh softly.

“Well I, I mean, there is quite a lot it, isn’t there?” Liara said.

“Ah, well that is true, Mum always called me her little wild lion. And this is nothing; you should see how I look after being out in the rain. I swear I look like a sheep who’s been attacked by a wild dry tumbler!”

“I see.” Liara had no idea of what a sheep was, definitely something she would look up, but in the meantime, she carefully slid away from the wall of hair dominating the Commanders person.

Liara really hoped humans did not have shedding seasons.

I loved this. :) Especially for the view of what the aliens probably think of the 'oddities' in humans.

(But many women can identify with Shepard's responses :D)
