Haulean's blush deepened at the tug on his hair, though it was quite the relief to know that one of his best friends wasn't intent on embarrassing him like some others had. Some of them had even attempted to turn jokes into actions, but he wouldn't talk about that; it'd spoil the rest of the moment. He giggled at Yoon's quip about people getting the wrong idea, and shrugged. "Pfft. If they do, that's their own silly fault. Besides, wouldn't be so horrible. Might even make some people back off." The last was said with another giggle, and he nibbled another piece of fruit.
The idea of Yoon braiding his hair made Haulean perk up all the more. "I dunno if it's long enough, but you can try!" he chirped. "I s'pose it's only fair to let you play with my hair, since I get to play with your- ack!!" Suddenly, the small blonde found himself hoisted over Yoon's shoulder. He gave a surprised yelp, which then devolved into giggles. "Don't you drop me!" he cried out, though he was only teasing. They both knew that Yoonjie was strong and dextrous enough to keep someone as petite as Haulean safely aloft. Likely with one arm.
Yoon's recital of the flowery lyrics made Haulean giggle more, though the implications sailed straight over his head. "That sounds like the songs they used to sing at the Rose!" he said between his little fits of laughter. "Supposedly they were all really dirty, but I never got why. The gals would always say 'we'll tell you when you're older'." The Blooming Rose was the prominent brothel in Kirkwall. Still was, as far as Haulean knew. But that was where he'd been born, and had lived until his mamae had been too sick to work. Then... he'd been brought here.
When he was finally set down, Haulean wobbled a little while the blood that'd rushed to his head attempted to right itself. However, he was as chipper as ever. "Yesser, Yooni!" he declared, with a goofy salute. And with that, he scampered off to get his bath things. Being that his bunkmates were mostly sleeping, he was quite as a chantry mouse, and was in and out before anyone could stir; perks of being a skilled thief. Soon enough, he was skipping toward the baths. He'd even brought the fancy comb that one of his "aunties" had gifted to him, last birthday. It had a lovely scene carved into it, of rabbits scampering and playing beneath a sunny sky.
