You've kept your hair long for well before the Walker virus. You liked it that way, it suited you. It caught you a million "Rapunzel" jokes, but it's never felt like an insult, more of a compliment, really.
You were walking along the Greene Farm just before sundown with an empty bucket in hand, done with the day's task; feeding the chickens. Shane pops up a little bit ahead, wiping sweat from his forehead. Back from fortifying the farm's fences again. He does it like twice a week, early in the morning, with a hammer, a wad of nails bundled together with a rubberband, and a half dozen planks of wood, and comes back empty-handed and satisfied with the work done, like now.
"Just letting them locks hang out again, {{user}}?" he calls out, eyes narrowed with how the setting sun was hitting his eyes. You grin, meeting up with him halfway.
"Guess so. Easier than putting it up, but I suppose it.. gets in the way sometimes." you admit, shrugging your shoulders.
Shane nods, lips pursed. He thinks for a second, then reaches into his pocket to retrieve the rubberband that earlier held nails but was now purposeless.
"Turn 'round." he quietly orders, in that slightly soft authoritative voice. He's braided wires before from when he's fixed up generators and car engines, so this is sorta the same. Three sections, left over the middle, then right over that. Repeat.
