Summary
Ty Lee stays quiet, which is unusual. Normally she’s pointing out how pretty the moon looks by now, or gossiping about their classmates, or suggesting they stargaze. But instead, she has fixed her gaze to the horizon, brow furrowed. Mai wants to smooth it out.
After what feels like an eternity, Ty Lee speaks, keeping her eyes on the mountains that fade into nothingness far, far away. Her voice is a birdsong above the rustling of leaves below.
“I’m leaving.”
Oh.
[Mai and Ty Lee's last night together at the Academy.]

Summary
Ty Lee has no prior haircutting experience, but she has never been good at turning Mai down. She knows, also, that if Mai’s hair were to be cut by a professional, it would require a stranger to stand behind her, blade in hand, fingers in Mai’s hair.
Mai does not trust anyone apart from Ty Lee with something like that.
So they’re here, with Ty Lee holding a knife to Mai’s hair, hands held steady only by the knowledge of Mai’s faith in her.
or, the inherent intimacy of cutting your girlfriend's hair
