Lifen had spent a few days since the battle thinking to herself seriously, she had mulled over many a thing while resting in her room.
She had also spent countless hours trying to wash sand out of everywhere.
But after all the showering, and thinking, and just getting her personal feelings down as an Elder Artisan, she had decided what her sacrifice to this dagger would be. A beautiful thing, it was, and currently it was sashed to her hip, in a make-shift sheath for the time being.
Standing in front of a familiar younger Artisan's household, she cleared her throat, and decided it was time.
"Ying, I need your assistance, please."

There was a very sudden face of "Whaaattt?" that ran across the woman's features when she had Ying chirping at her about reducing those around her. A couple blinks later, it dawned on her what she was talking about, and Lifen suddenly started shaking her head with ferver.
"Oh, OH. Ying, no no. Not like that sweets." She stated, going to move a hand to pat it lightly. "Nothing like that, I need you to help me with my decision. I have been offered the knife by THE Horseman of Death, it is a long story, but not entirely what I need you for." She cleared up, kind of laughing softly, head shaking slower.
"So can I get your promise?"

"You have my word." She stated, lifting a hand to place upright, showing that it was a promise. Lifen was done with hurting people for a while - she had to get to the one known as Stormy soon to talk their issues out, but that was for another conversation.
Wandering in to Jing and Ying's abode, she whispered her apologies for interrupting, and went to sit down, holding the knife in her lap, looking at the make shift sheath again. "I was told that in order for this to be useful to me, I must sacrifice something." She murmured out loud, before lightly flicking a hand flippantly. "Nothing like a life. Just, something dear to me." She figured, looking up to Ying. "I have concluded I know what I want to offer, but I do not think I can get away with it and come off clean. So that is where you come in."
Taking a deep breath, she gave a nod, feeling bold with her decision. "I am cutting my hair. A renewal, it shall remind me that I have changed, for the better, since I arrived here." A look to Ying. "You will help me . . . clean it up because I am not going around looking like I hacked my hair off with a knife."

"Well, it is not a limb, or anything like that, and it grows back, right?" She reasoned with the younger woman - and secretly herself, a little. "I think you will do a fine job. I just do not want it to look like I took a knife to my head." She offered, chortling softly with a smile on her face, looking around.
"I just need somewhere to sit, contained a little so I do not get hair all over your room." She requested, giving her a pleading face. This was very serious to her, and she wanted it to be done. If it was something that could help, even a little . . . . she would do it.
Especially if it affected a certain someone.

They walked to the river and it was great. Good times. There was probably a conversation about how great Lifen is. Actually that's probably what the whole conversation was.
---
Ying looked around for a good place to sit, but only found rocks and stumps. With a frown, she discarded her jacket and placed it over a squishier looking stump, one that was hopefully soft enough to sit on.
"I hope this is not too egregious, Miss Lifen," she tittered, "I had thought there were more suitable places, perhaps a pagoda or a gazebo, but I always forget we are not in Conquest lands anymore." She looked down a little sadly, having actually forgotten that not everything was built up to par here in their new "land." They had nothing here.
She looked to the river and said, "Would you like to cut with the dagger, or shall I? I am most willing to do whatever pleases you, Lifen."
