You do have quite a bit of very lovely hair.

I used to keep my hair that long, when I was younger; I suppose that's the benefit of it.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, imagine that short hair has its own benefits as well.

[marsascending]

It does, I'd say. It's a little easier to work in, and—well, for me, it's a reminder, I suppose.

[forgottenmercy]

Of, ah, lessons learned...?

[marsascending]

Mhmm.

Well, not that I need a reminder, exactly, but it's part of what makes me who I am.

[ you know. spite. ]

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, see.

[carefully turns over what he's working on] Some lessons, ah, stick...quite permanently.

[marsascending]

...they really do. For better or for worse.

You sound like you've had a few of those, too.

[forgottenmercy]

Everyone, ah, does. Or, ah...should, anyway.

[marsascending]

For better or for worse, the best teacher is experience. Or so I tend to think, anyway. There are many things that I knew but did not quite understand until getting them firsthand.

[forgottenmercy]

Some things, ah, cannot be learned without experience.

[marsascending]

Well. Here's to more fun experiences for the time being.

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, perhaps.
