I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be. You know that.
[He'll leave when he gets bored, yep. ...But as far as company goes, he could do a lot worse than Miyabi.]

[His smile falters and he looks noticeably unhappy.] I'm just going to hold onto them for a little while.

[Of all the petty, inconsequential, stupid--]

...What?! No! I just don't think you should cut your hair, that's all.
[Mumbling.] I've got a bad feeling about it...

But with Ginji looking so concerned, it's planting a niggling seed of doubt. Maybe there's something more to it than just a haircut...?]

Will you please hear me out? [He doesn't wait for permission, just keeps on talking.] I think there might be something bigger going on. I mean, just yesterday this boy was being chased around the village by ducks, Noelle caught a bout of hiccups that still hasn't subsided, and Nephry was dropping pearls.
And then there's the apartment... [He casts his eyes to the side and sighs deeply. Don't get him started on the apartment.]

Not that he can talk...]
If you think I'm being manipulated, think again. This isn't just some whim!
Reply
[Ginji still looks doubtful, and his tone is getting careless again. He's talking in circles and his patience (for once in his life) is wearing thin.] But this isn't a very comfortable setting for what you had in mind. Actually, it's one of the worst places you could have chosen.
And there might not even be any way around all these strange happenings. So if you're not acting on a whim, how long have you spent considering it?
[And suddenly Ginji is contemplating the unthinkable, because when has Asch ever backed down about anything?]
Reply
So why is he so determined to argue now...?]
I... I can't remember! What does it matter, anyway? It's my hair.
Reply
[Unfortunately Ginji's worries and moods are winning out against his usually passive nature, that and this nagging voice in the back of his head keeps telling him he just can't let Asch go through with it. Not only is there a risk to himself, but Asch might get hurt too - that's even worse.]
[That does it. How does Asch know he's not being manipulated if he doesn't remember? Ginji's voice is low and quiet:]
Give me the scissors.

Asch is having trouble wrapping his head around it, truth be told, which is why he's not just stomping off to cut his hair elsewhere or telling Ginji to leave him alone. What a pain in the ass, though... hrngh.]
What are you so worried about? More importantly, why do you care?
Reply
All of the other readings are coming true in one way or another, Mr. Asch! I'm not sure what it all means, but there was one that mentioned you specifically. So you see, I can't just stand around and let something happen...
You can get angry with me if you want to, but I'm not leaving.

If the remnants of the first day wasn't making him so lazy, he might've just considered clocking Ginji and having done with it. But no- that would just be a waste. Reluctantly, oh so reluctantly, he offers the scissors out to Ginji, glowering angrily at him.]
Will you really just be satisfied with this?
Reply
[Nevertheless, Ginji will reach out and latch onto the other end of the scissors before Asch changes his mind completely. He is not letting go of them, but he does manage to sound apologetic.]
W-well, I just told you I didn't plan on leaving, Mr. Asch. If I walked off now, I'd be a liar....

[...He can't, right? Right?]
