Y- You're right, it's just, um, hard to get out of the habit. [Especially with someone as imperious as Valmont strutting about, even though he's lending her a hand rather than ordering her around. Well, lending her a hand and ordering her around, but it's still an improvement over the way the madam treated her.

Yasu nods, listening intently as Valmont rattles off his instructions. Taking the offered conditioner and spreading it across her hands, she does as he says, lips set in a thin line at the occasional twinge of pain from pulling at the knots but refusing to part to let out an audible complaint. Whatever else you can say about Yasu, she's a fast learner (after three years of being a slow one, at any rate), and soon her hair is in slightly better condition.]

T- There. Thank you very much, Mister Valmont. Um... is there any particular brushing technique I- I should follow up with?
