Trust Akina

You grimace at your choices, but ultimately decide to go with Akina. You can always return to the castle at another point if the need should arise. "I...Will go with you." You sigh.

She nods, "good, then we'll have to do something about your hair. I know that you and your bother have some minor shape changing powers thanks to your lineage. could you maybe change your hair color, or make it shorter or something?"

It's true, you have sometimes wished for a different hair color, or larger breasts, or to be taller and then wake up the next day and find your features slightly changed in the direction you wished for. However, you have never tried to manually control the ability and never to such a dramatic end, but you're committed now. So you might as well make the attempt, "I'll....Try"

You close your eyes and focus on your hair. you grit your teeth and concentrate on having lighter and shorter hair. At first it doesn't seem like anything happens, but soon you feel a tingling in your scalp. You feel your long, elegant hair shriveling up to about shoulder-length and when you open your eyes and pull a little tuft of hair into view you find that your hair has turned platinum blonde. "Wow!"

Akina nods, "Good. That should be enough to get us to the castle...barring any hindrances along the way.
