"But you know that he's pleased as punch on the inside," Ariane managed a weak chuckle, stopping when Gale did. She chose not to comment on his wavering voice, or how she had already seen him cry when they initially returned from the mission; she had seen Jude cry too, although he was obviously trying to hide it... To be frank, crying would probably make her feel better as well, but there was a... Mental block stopping her from doing so.
"Whoa, that's fast," It was a small attempt at trying to lighten the mood, although her expression soon turned serious, "What sort of something? I'll do it to the best of my ability."

"He's still an idiot," said Gale, but this time the tone was soft and filled with a bittersweet affection. He shoved his hands into his pockets, and sighed a little, exhaling slowly before looking back up at Ariane.
"Will you help me dye my hair?" he asked, and then amended, "I mean...not all of it. Just the front part."

"Sure, that'll be easy to achieve," Ariane chuckled, and then put her hand on top of his head, ruffling his hair, "What color?"
A pause, and then a hopeful look - although it was all an act, really.
"Pink?"

He gave her a Look that clearly said you better not be serious.
"No," said Gale, and then took a deep breath.
"White," he said quietly. "White. For Bix."

The look Ariane returned Gale clearly said no of course not, I'm not an idiot.
"I figured as much," She replied, pausing as she stared at his hair, "It's a good thing you're blonde, but I'll need to bleach it till it's lighter first..."
She might have tried it on herself a long time ago. And caused her mother to faint. Maybe.

"That's fine," said Gale. "I don't mind."
He reached up a hand and ruffled a his short locks, his expression pained as he said, "I just want...something...to sort of...be a reminder...you know?"
His face turned troubled, spots of color appearing on his cheeks, embarrassed of how silly it all sounded.

"Leave it to me, kid," Ariane grinned, wondering when she last used this nickname on him; at first, she really did see him as a child, but so many things had happened since then. Right now, it's used affectionately more than anything, "Planning to move back to this building?"

He rolled his eyes, but didn't contradict the nickname, and instead just nudged his shoulder against her arm.
Ariane's question made him frown a little, and he said, almost thoughtfully, "...I don't think so. I worked hard for that house. I put effort into it, it was something I strived towards."

A long, drawn out, and dramatic sigh followed.
"You're making it hard to visit," Ariane laughed, "Anyway, I stay at Ryan's place now because that shitty fog dragon destroyed my room, so just come around whenever, and I'll dye your bangs for you."

"Yes, well," said Gale, and blew his fringe of blonde hair out of his eyes. "Haven't you realized by now that I like to make things difficult?"
But the look he gave Ariane was a slightly relieved one.

"I should have, but I didn't... So I guess I'll just have to bother you more often to see that side of you," Ariane grinned, ruffling Gale's hair, just to be annoying, "You should try to get some rest... Just drop me a text whenever you're ready to come around."
