It was only when one was really paying attention that the truth came out, and it could be seen that the feathers were really growing from Nabiki's scalp. The coloring matched the hair, but that wasn't what showed that they were real. Rather, all that one had to do was to see one without the hair blocking it, and they could see how it would attach to her head. Even if that wasn't the case, at most they'd get mussed, and would flex, which was something that a mere hairpin could never do.
Of course, it was much better than before, when Nabiki's scalp had been covered in feathers. Back when they'd been first changed, her 'hair' had been a messy plume that she'd had no chance to fix.

Leaning forward, the massive girl snorted. "Where else would I go? I mean, I was a giant with a cow face. Just being around people meant that I'd break things by accident."
"True. Although...."
"What?"
"You're still a 'giant' in some places, 'little' sister," the brown haired girl drawled.
"What are you...." Akane looked down at where her sister was gazing, and scowled. "Nabiki...."
