30th Combo - An adult at last!

[redcladidealist]

~Vatheon, Vatheon, guess what, guess what?
I'm eighteen, an adult, huzzah, huzzah~!

[For once, Lloyd doesn't seem to mind that he's bursting into song. Hey, if there's any occasion where singing is appropriate, a birthday is definitely it! And this curse means he's actually good at it, even if he can't necessarily control the impulse to sing.]

[The name London doesn't mean anything, but he assumes it's the name of someplace in the world she's from. Maybe he would have asked about it, but what she just hinted at catches him off guard and draws his attention instead.]

What? Really? How would you do that?

[ladyinscarlet]

[Well, An will just assumes he knows or whatever. But back to the subject at hand.]

Well, there are dyes that can give your hair a different color.

[redcladidealist]

Whoa. You mean like cloth? And it doesn't just wash back out?

[He lifts his fingers to his hair, pulling enough forward that he can get a look at it, and tries to imagine it being a different color.]

Where do you get them? I've never seen them before.

[He also doesn't frequent the hair care sections of stores all that much.]

[ladyinscarlet]

Well, I guess something like that... It does wash out, but it will take some time for that to happen.

[She smiles softly.]

You could find them in those stores they call super-markets in this world.

[redcladidealist]

[Picturing himself with red hair now, or maybe blond or black. He grins at the images he comes up with, then drops his hand.]

It might still be fun to try out. What do they call it? Just... hair dye?

[ladyinscarlet]

Yes, the box says 'hair dye'. I have never tried it for myself, but I have seen others in this world buying it and using it. I could help you, if you like. It should not be so hard to use...

[She had at some point considered dying her hair.]

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd hesitates.]

And you're supposed to put it in your hair? You... wash it in, like shampoo?

[He's taking a guess there, but he knows that when cloth gets dyed, it has to get washed in it. The idea of having a woman, any woman, but especially one he's already admitted is attractive, help him wash his hair...

He turns pink.]

Um, I... I think I can handle it myself.

[ladyinscarlet]

[Poor Lloyd, he's blushing so much. An can't help but giggle.]

I meant in helping you you choose a dye... But well, you do not have to do it, unless you really want to.

[redcladidealist]

[Aw man, now she's laughing at him. Not a mean laugh, but still, it's hard to get a blush to go down when someone's just giggled at something you did or said. Still pink, he shakes his head.]

I- I'll think about it. And I'll go look and see for myself. Maybe if I decide I need help, I'll call?

[ladyinscarlet]

[Awww, poor Lloyd. Don't feel bad, she didn't want to be mean.]

That sounds good, Lloyd. I wish you good luck then.

[redcladidealist]

[He can tell, it's just one of those things.]

Thanks. I'll definitely look into it.

So, um, I better get going. I'm going to see some of my friends. It was nice meeting you!

[ladyinscarlet]

[Phew, good!]

Yes, of course. It was nice meeting you too, Lloyd! And if you do dye your hair, you must let me know about it!

[redcladidealist]

If I do, I'll show it on the network. I'll let everyone get to see!

[He grins, already anticipating it. Too bad his plans will get delayed when the barrier around Vatheon breaks and they all have to head to the island.]

[ladyinscarlet]

Oh, that is excellent! I shall look forward to that!

[Bawww, yes... u.u]

[redcladidealist]

Just keep an eye on your starfish, then. Anyway, I gotta get going. I'm going to see a friend! See you later, okay?

[ladyinscarlet]

Yes, I will. Enjoy your day. [Waves.]

[redcladidealist]

You too!

[Lloyd waves back, then turns the SFC off.]
