Feathers

[Howl Pendragon]

Howl chuckled softly. "Believe me, I was a lot worse," he said. "I think Sophie lost track of how many colors I had of hair dye," he added with a light laugh. "After the whole ginger incident, I've kept my hair its default color, the black." Howl brushed a stray lock off his forehead. "And my wardrobe was a bit more flashy."

[tashii]

"Colors? Why would you need much less want multiple colors?" Tash asked, the logic behind this one was beyond her.

[Howl Pendragon]

"When one has many identities to keep their freedom, one needs many disguises to hide behind. And an easy way to disguise one's self is to change one's hair color," Howl said with an idle shrug. "Besides, people put too much stock into what's natural," he said with an affected sniff before chuckling. "In all honesty, the one color I had the most success with was making a vibrant sunshine yellow."

[tashii]

"Sunshine yellow?" Tash snorted, that would have been amusing to see. "I like the black." Tash added laughing, so she was a little biased with that one because of her own hair color.

[Howl Pendragon]

Howl flushed again. "Well, it wasn't so much sunshiny as it was blond," Howl said, still a bit crimson. "Besides, ever since the ginger bit, I've kept my hair natural," he added, brushing his bangs off his forehead.

[tashii]

"Afraid Sophie would want to change your hair colors again?" Tash asked still snickering about the hair color of sunshine yellow.

[kevyn]

Kevyn was hiding a smile behind her hand for that part of the conversation. Tash seemed to be embarassing Howl enough she didn't really feel the need to further the matter. Though she was curious as to the answer to that one.

[Howl Pendragon]

Howl just gave her a weak glare. "That's not even funny."

[tashii]

Tash grinned, "Sure it is."

[Howl Pendragon]

"To you it is. To me, no," Howl said, huffing quietly. He could feel the feathers start to ruffle back out in agitation.

[kevyn]

"Ok Tash you've had your fun." Kevyn cut in, voice strained as she was trying not to laugh. "Come on we need to be getting back to Alfea."

[Howl Pendragon]

Howl mouthed a silent thank you to Kevyn. He needed to rest and get things straightened out before dealing with more people.

[tashii]

"We do?" Tash asked before understanding dawned, "But relax about the hair color Howl, at least it wasn't blue with pink polka dots." Tash offered consolingly before grinning again. "And welcome to Magix."

[Howl Pendragon]

Howl opened his mouth to say something, thought better of it and then closed his mouth with an audible click. He took a steadying, cleansing breath before speaking again. "Thank you."

[kevyn]

"Anytime." Kevyn smiled, dragging Tash along. Once outside and away from the door, Kevyn found herself nearly on the floor with laughter.
