"Yeah, well, it does, a bit." Zelnick couldn't help but still feel a bit bad about ZEX's bewilderment. "Conditioner's basically to make your hair smoother and softer-- as said, easier to brush, and more healthy in general. And it doesn't need to be lathered like the shampoo did, since it's not meant to clean the hair." Which meant "yeah, necessary."
Of course. Zelnick sighed quietly at the question, considering how to answer-- he didn't exactly have to explain these sorts of things every day-- as he turned away, putting the showerhead back into its hook on the wall and getting a palmfull of conditioner from the dispenser.
"Brush. Right." Rather more gently than he had with the shampoo, he began rubbing the conditioner into ZEX's hair, using some of the same gentle petting motions as before. "Using something with closely-spaced blunt prongs or bristles, run through the hair, to get rid of tangles and to smooth the hair out... It also helps to keep hair cleaner between washings." There, that explained it. He'd probably have to demonstrate, too, once he was done with the washing bit, but, well...
Okay, so it wasn't exactly an inevitable result of allying with a non-human in a human's body, but he'd started to get used to explaining things to ZEX. For someone so passionate about humans, it was pretty clear ZEX knew next to nothing about them.
[aaargh sorry for the slow post I kinda fell asleep XD;; ]
