Lots of things had happened, especially recently, but Ariane felt a little... Detached from it. It does hurt her to find out, from rumors of all things, that Clarice was... Well. It felt almost like a betrayal, the fact that she had left so suddenly. She could feel the same sort of regret she felt back when she thought Bix was dead; why didn't she spend more time talking to them, why didn't she make an effort to say hi more often? However, she had a feeling that there would be no miracle this time.
Maybe that's why she started to think about the people she had met on the island.
It had been a long time. Too long. Way too long. As one of the men she had placed under 'part of the blonde harem', Deryk had gone undisturbed for too long. The last time she visited was last Christmas, when he was acting all drunk and... Drunk. Sure, she had fun with that, but she was always up for exploitation of other's misery as long as they recover from their misery.
Since it had been a good, long while since then, she decided to go check if he had recovered from his previous moping and angst. She didn't bother to knock. She just waltzed right in. At least, she would do that if the door was unlocked.

Unfortunately for Deryk, the lock on his door was broken. And he was getting changed when Ariane was coming in.
"GAH!" he cried out while scrambling to get his pants on.
"C-can't you knock!?"

"Stop squealing," Ariane admired his butt from the doorway, and in an act of mercy, closed the door instead of yelling for any passersby to come get a free show, "You're not even naked. And no. The answer to your question is no."

"I could have been!" Deryk retorted. Now that he was properly clothed, he turned around and fidgeted a bit. "S-so...Uh..What's up?"

"And your arguemrmt is?" She raised an eyebrow, waiting for Deryk to be dressed before invading his private space. And by invading his private space, it means to give his butt a pat.
"Not much," Ariane replied, "Apparently Merlin tried to end the world though." Yup. End of the world again. And he would have been successful too, if it weren't for some meddling kids.

Deryk jumped at the butt pat, but then he let out a sigh.
"..Yeah. I.. I was there for that," he said while casting his gaze down, "..R-remind me to not get on Caelius's bad side."

"I think everyone's on his bad side," Ariane replied with a dry laugh, "It's just that some people piss him off more than others."
She then took a step towards him, and clasped a hand down on his shoulder, "No more going back to being a depressed little s**t, you understand?"

Deryk shook his head and waved his hands before him, "no... I mean. Really get on his bad side. I.. I guess you didn't see but.. he killed Clerise! Chopped her head clean off 'cuz she got in the way!"That was a bit terrifying. Though, he soon blinked at Ariane. "Eh? D-depressed? Kinda nervous but.. uh.. don't think I'm..depressed? Or was depressed?"

"I didn't see that, no," Ariane replied quietly with a frown, "I heard about the deaths though. Clarice and Clerise. Didn't know Caelius had a part to play in any of it though." As shitty as it was to think that way, she was only really upset and affected about the death of the former; she didn't know the latter personally, so it was like hearing that someone in your neighborhood had passed away... It was sad, but not as heart wrenching. Not as shocking.
Then again, if she were to get stressed and upset over every single hunter's death, she would probably die from heart failure.
"How would you explain all the drinking the last time we met then?" She raised an eyebrow, "Don't think anyone would drink like that unless they were really, really down in the dumps." Although she did take advantage of his vulnerable state at the time, but eh. Bygones be bygones, right?

"Y-yeah.. "Deryk shifted a bit in place. He wasn't exactly grieving over the deaths, but he witnessed these both first hand. The imagery alone haunted him some, making him feel fairly uncomfortable. "Uh..what?"He soon blinked at what she was talking about. "Y-you mean coffee? I drink coffee all the time. Could use a cup right now actually.."

"... You don't remember?" Ariane asked, eyeing Deryk, wondering if he was toying with her, "Last New Year's?"

Deryk stared at her blankly. This was not ringing a bell at all. "I... don't know what you're talking about."

Ariane was about to go into a detailed description of what happened, but reconsidered it, and then decided against it. It wasn't important, anyway. Besides, maybe it's one of those things better left forgotten.
"Eh, maybe I had a dream involving getting you drunk, and thought it was real life," She shrugged, waving a hand in the air to dismiss the issue, "Random question though. What color should I dye my hair next?"

"Mmmaybe," he had said a little slowly. It had to be a dream on her part. Because he definitely didn't remember anything like that. Deryk soon blinked at the next question that came up. "Uh.. Blue?"

"Blue. Huh," Ariane raised an eyebrow, stroking her chin with a thoughtful look, "I guess I could do blue... Like dark blue or light blue?"
