Why?

[redwhiteandhero]

Let me get a look at your face.

[seabrit]

What's wrong with my face?

[redwhiteandhero]

Matt says you told him you're getting some fuzz on there.

[seabrit]

Oh.

Yeah, I guess so. Common room?

[redwhiteandhero]

Sure. I'll be up there in a minute.

[Is curled up in one of the armchairs in the corner, dangling his legs over the edge with a book in his lap. He's becoming all elbows and knees, though he's only grown about half an inch over the summer. His body's getting ready to shoot up.]

Action

[redwhiteandhero]

[Alfred climbs through the portrait hole and heads over to where his brother is sitting, pushing his book down and out of the way to get a look at his face. Sure enough, there's some patchy, blond fluff starting to grow there.]

Well congrats, kiddo.

[seabrit]

[He looks up at Alfred, scratching at the new fuzz on his face.]

It's not growing in evenly.

[redwhiteandhero]

Right, that's why I'm teaching you to shave.

[seabrit]

[blink blink]

You are?

[redwhiteandhero]

Yep, come with me.

[But he doesn't have a choice, because then Al grabs him by the arm and starts towing him up to the boys' bathroom.]

[seabrit]

[He doesn't really react as Al drags him along other than to stumble to his feet and follow.]

Is this gonna hurt?

[redwhiteandhero]

Not if you do it right. But it works best if you shower first and shave after.

[seabrit]

[He squints at himself in the mirror, running his fingers over some of the patches.]

Really? What if I just wash my face?

[redwhiteandhero]

Whatever, but don't ever do it dry. Here, one sec.

[He disappears to his room for a minute and comes back with a bottle of shaving cream and a razor, which is closed.]

Put this on.
