“That's some mighty fine silver you got there, preacher!”

Shepherd Book glances up from the bible he'd been ready to consider his intruder with confused eyes. “Hmm? What was that?” he asks.

“Your hair,” comes the reply. “It's so...wiry and shimmery and ooh! I love how long it is. Has it always been that long? Well, no, I suppose it weren't back when you was just a babe, but - “

“Yes, yes.” Book waves a hand in the air. “That's, uh, quite enough. Thank you.” He narrows his eyes when his visitor continues to stare at him, presumably admiring his hair.

'What has happened to the 'verse?', he wonders in slight amazement.

“Are you done staring at my hair yet?” he says aloud.

Curious eyes poke back at him. His question goes ignored.

“Can I touch it?”
