"Of course!" What a silly question. "They're mobile, useful, somewhat prehensile, help indicate mood, give you information on the air, the scents around you, any movement, water currents,... they're far more useful than human hair." ZEX sighed a little. "You certainly don't need to do such things to them, to keep them in working order. And hair doesn't move at all... it's like you're covered with dead weight. With your tiny eyes, it's a wonder you see anything around you at all..."

And how he missed his head feelers. He never realized how much he used them until they were gone. He sputtered a little when the human came back with the water again, and this time it wasn't as unpleasant, although still a bit... intense, in a way. He squirmed a little again, trying not to let the feeling get to him, but it was such an odd sensation! Like being massaged with something just slightly harsh... hmm, was his face heating a little? Odd.
