Eva didn't know a lot of guys who took great care of their hair, never mind admitting to it. Not that there was anything wrong with either, obviously--she was actually kind of envious. "That explains a lot," She chirped, carefully beginning to gather his hair together at the base of his head, "Your hair is so nice and smooth!"
There was a pause as she laughed, leaning forward slightly so that she could stare up at her own bangs. "To be honest, the only reason I have a short haircut is because I thought it that my hair was too troublesome to take care of. It used to be to my waist." And while she had liked having long hair, it just felt like it was too much work to take care of.
After she pulled Jude's hair into a low ponytail and secured a hairtie around it, she lifted a hand and scissored her fingers. "I originally cut it myself, actually. My mom was horrified when she came home and found that I had chopped everything off." Everything aside from that long section of hair that she had left uncut, that was. Originally, Eva had simply (somehow) missed cutting it. However, she had decided to leave it as it was, thinking that it was kind of cool. At the very least, it gave a kind of comparison as to how long her hair used to be.

He blushed slightly at all these compliments about his hair. It was a good thing she couldn't really see since he was pointed away from her. Jude uttered a stiff and quiet, "Thank you."
Honestly he anticipated being made fun of and teased because he did take so much care of his hair despite whatever reasons he had for it. He'd gotten slack now and again for looking 'girly' or 'weak' in general though not very often.
Jude listened to Eva as she spoke of her own hair experiences and then chuckled a little bit, "I think it looks nice, you make it work for you. I admire that," he said quietly and sincerely to Eva. It was certain that on anyone else it would have looked 'odd' but Eva somehow made it work for her.

The compliment caught her off guard, and Eva stopped playing with his hair to blink at the back of his head. "I...really?" There was a moment of pause, and then she laughed. Her fingers slipping free from Jude's hair so that she could wrap her arms around his middle and give him a big (and very awkward) hug. "Thanks! To be honest, a lot of people I ran into said it was strange, but..."
But then again, she had grown up being called strange, so it hadn't really fazed her all that much. She finally let go of Jude, humming thoughtfully as she stared at the low-ponytail that his hair was now styled in. Simple, but...but it worked, right? And now...
She didn't bother getting up. Rather, she crawled around so that she was directly in front of him, reaching out with a scrutinizing look as she tilted his chin up so that she could see his face. So much for letting him continue reading his book. "You need to keep your hair out of your eyes, so maybe...oh! I know!"
And suddenly, she pulled some hairclips out of her pocket. "Hold still, okay?" Her brows were furrowed and her tongue was sticking out of the corner of her mouth as she clipped back his hair.

He stiffened a bit from the contact of the hug a hand awkwardly reached up to pat her forearm as if to return the sentiment somehow though he wasn't sure if he should do that or not. He cleared his throat a little bit, "Well, I don't think it is strange. I think you look pretty," he said quietly a small blush on his as he bluntly told her that he thought she was pretty. Jude wasn't used to telling girls exactly how he thought of them physically.
Suddenly she was in front of him and tilting his chin up and he stared at her blinking, "Well um...Okay," Jude muttered and obediently sat still as she got out the hairclips and clipped his hair back and he just stared at her.
"...They're not girly hair clips are they?" He asked dryly, he hadn't gotten a good look at them when she got them out.

...
Awwwwwwwwww.
Jude received another hug for that--clearly Eva wasn't shy with giving anyone hugs, recent acquaintances or not--and the girl was grinning at him when she finally pulled away. "Haha, I've learned not to be too self-conscious about myself growing up...but I'm touched you think so, Jude."
And speaking of getting hairstyles to work, the girl turned her attention back to Jude's, tapping her chin as she examined her work. Looked good! The style suited him pretty well, she thought.
The question caught her off guard, but she immediately laughed once she fully processed what it was that he had asked. Steepling her fingers, she looked at him with wide doe-eyes. "Girly? Girly how?" It reality, the clips had been simple black ones...but Eva could never pass down the chance for some good-natured teasing.

More hugs for Jude, "Well I don't either, so I get where you're coming from," he said quietly with a small shrug of his shoulders after she pulled away so she could get a better look at him. At her teasing he greeted her with a stare that was almost flat and empty of amusement he reached up to simply touch at the clips she put in his hair and found them to at least be flat and devoid of any sort of 'shape' within them that could be flowery or hearts.
...He supposed he could live with them being pink if they were but he'd honestly wish they were every color but pink.
"...What color are they? If they're pink then I won't let you play with my hair again," he said flatly, using his hair for ransom was apparently not beyond him. Sure there were other guys' hair she could play with but that wasn't the point. :I

Her expression became slightly sympathetic at his words, and she reached out to give him a pat on the shoulder. Well, at least in Deus Ex, it seemed like nobody (at least, not many of the trainees) was particularly judging of one another. Surprisingly enough, even though the task that they had been given was both dangerous and horrifying in some circumstances...Eva had never felt quite as comfortable with her life as she did now.
Well. The people definitely made a huge difference.
Lost in her thoughts, Eva missed Jude's question, managing to catch only the latter part of his words. The girl instantly drooped, hands clutched to her chest as she stared up at the young man with large, mournful eyes. "I...I can't play with your hair again? But...But I..."
And then she gave his hair a look--the kind of look that one would give to their lover who was departing for an unknown amount of time. A longing look.

The threat worked a little bit too well making him back peddle fast so she didn't start crying or something worse, "I meant that in the event that you don't tell me what kind of hairclip you put in my hair," he said almost sounding panicked at her reaction. Oh Jesus. Oh Jesus effing' Christ on a cracker with a pogostick.
Please don't cry. Just don't.
"O..Okay. You..Can play with my hair whenever you want. Just ... Just don't cry or something," Jude ended with a bit of a flush on his face.

Crying? Eva? The thought had never even crossed her mind--not for a second. Of course, poor Jude wouldn't have known that.
At the clarification, Eva brightened up slightly, looking not unlike a child who had just been bribed with candy not to cry. She opened her mouth to answer...and that was when Jude went on to give in, giving her permission to play with his hair whenever she wanted.
It was like a dream come true.
The change in Eva was immediate--the kicked puppy look was replaced by a big grin and bright, excited eyes. "You're the best, Jude!" And so Jude would find him assaulted by another Eva hug.
"Ah--by the way, the clip is black." Just so he knew.

Jude wasn't sure what just happened but he suddenly got a hug and he awkwardly hugged back quietly patting her back and still a bit blushy from all this exchange he was doing with her at this juncture. He just wasn't sure what to make of Eva and her motivations at all, but if this made her happy then he was content enough.
The mystery of the hairclip was answered and he just nodded a bit, "Okay, that's fine. I just uhh...Yeah, I get a lot of grief from a couple of folk that's all," he muttered under his breath as he rested his book on his lap and paused a bit.
..Hmm.
"Want to have a coffee with me sometime in the caf or somethin'?" He asked simply. If he was going to befriend her he might as well have coffee with her one day.

Happy? Oh, yes, Eva was really quite happy that Jude had suddenly promised her that she could play with his hair anytime. Hopefully the poor man didn't come to regret that promise in the future.
The smile on her face faltered slightly at Jude's mutter. She hadn't caught the whole thing, but something about...grief, maybe? For a second, Eva frowned in concern, but just as quickly as it came, the frown disappeared. Grinning, she slung and arm around his shoulders. "Your hair looks good up, Jude! I'll brush up on different kinds of hairstyles for next time."
The offer surprised her, but she didn't have to think long before giving an enthusiastic nod of her head. "Yeah, sure! I'd like that! Anytime, okay?" If there was one thing about Eva, it was that she loved socializing. Jude was already pretty high up on her list of acquaintances-slash-new-friends, so hanging out with him some more seemed like a given.
And, you know. His hair.

Jude stared at Eva when her face faltered and was about to try and make the situation seem better than what it appeared but soon she brightened and an arm was about his shoulders causing him to freeze only for a second before he relaxed under the contact. He tilted his head a bit at her compliment and then smiled lightly, "Thanks. Sounds like a plan."
"Any time, huh? So you won't complain if I wandered to your room and dragged you out of it at the middle of the night?" Jude asked in an attempt to tease her a little.

"Anytime," Eva repeated firmly, a grin spreading over her lips, "If you can't sleep and need a buddy to talk with, just look for me in room 123." Her offer was a genuine one--Eva considered helping her friends to be one of the highest things on her list of priorities.
That included keeping them company in the middle of the night, she supposed.
"Buuut until then, I'll leave you to your book, I guess. I'd better get back to training!" Sighing, she pushed herself back to her feet and stretched. "It was nice to meet you, Jude! I'll see you around, okay?"
As she jogged down the hall, she turned to look over her shoulder to give him a happy, fluttery-fingered wave before disappearing around the corner. Yay for new friends! She had a feeling that she was kind of going to enjoy it here at Deus Ex.

"Heh, alright...I'll keep that in mind," Jude replied quietly.
When she announced she needed to get back to training and then got up he quietly waved at her, "See ya around," he said to her with a small smile. She seemed sweet enough, very affectionate but sweet. Jude wouldn't hold Eva's affectionate ways against her.
Ariane was just as bad at times.
He resumed reading.
