Ever since he had started going to the school, Jericho really hadn't cut his hair at all. So by the time he came back from his little trip home, it had grown to be long enough to keep into a small ponytail. It was how he generally kept his hair nowadays.
After coming out of Riley's room for a quick visit, the dragon was starting to head out to go back to his place for awhile.
Looking over his claws as he walked down the halls as he still wasn't quite completely used to them just yet, he flexed his hands, watching the way the scales shifted and whatnot. While these new hands were closer to his true form, they still weren't quite the same.

Lizzy, who was going to leave for home in a couple of days following the end of the festival, was just on the way back to the dorms when she spotted a very familiar red dragon on the way out of the dorms... Oh wait, she didn't say 'bye' to him, did she?
The festival was fun, but due to the student council elections coming up... Well, she hadn't expected Jericho, of all people, to run for treasurer. On hindsight though, it made sense; Riley was running for President, so of course her best friend would also be running to help "support" her in a way, right? While she was a little... Apprehensive of what might come next, she didn't want it to ruin anything, especially since she saw him as a good friend.
"Mr Jericho!" She waved at the boil with a grin, "Heyyy!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Jericho turned around and saw Lizzy down the hall. Despite the fact that she was probably his top competitor in the running for treasurer, he had no hard feelings against her. It made sense for the girl to run for something like this, when she was working to try and eventually run and manage her family's business. This was just a sort of practice for that in a sense, he supposed.
In any case, if not himself, he was sure that she'd do the job pretty damn well. This didn't mean that he wasn't going to fight for the position though.
"Hey Lizzy!" He grinned while waving to her, "Still going with that 'Mr. Jericho' thing hm?"

Lizzy's feelings about Jericho running for treasurer were similar to his; while she felt that he would make a good treasurer, she wasn't going to go down without a fight. Besides, she would feel pretty... Insulted? If her rival was not running against her with his full power.
"Always and forever," She grinned before giggling, giving him a mock salute and then a quick hug. As she looked up at him, however, she couldn't help but stare; there was something different about the boil... What is it, what is it...
"Your hair! And EYES!" She exclaimed suddenly, pointing up at him as she blushed; partially, it was because she realized that she had been staring, and partially because of her sudden exclamation. She tried to ignore it though, hoping that Jericho didn't notice, "When did it grow so long? And when did your eyes change?"
Said the person whose hair had grown a lot since her enrollment in school.

Chuckling at her response, Jericho returned the gesture while blinking as she was staring at him. Was there something wrong? When she suddenly exclaimed about his hair, he stepped back in surprise before chuckling again.
"Well I hadn't exactly gotten a haircut since I've enrolled. Your hair's grown quite a bit yourself," he said with a raised brow, looking at those loooooong pink locks.
"As for my eyes, they changed last week. Kinda weird that it just happened like that but now they're like my true form eyes," he grinned before glancing down, "It's not the only change either. I wonder if the increase in FEAR in me is causing these things or something."

"Riiiigggghhht?" She seemed excited about the comment on her hair, taking it as a compliment as she grinned, "I thought it would never grow as long as mother's, but I think it's getting there... Without me noticing!" That would explain why her showers were taking longer and longer though; so much hair to shampoo!
"Don't get a hair cut!" She nodded, tilting her head slightly as she glanced at his hair again, "I think it suits you well!" Another nod followed before her gaze finally settled on his hands - now scaly - as well as his feet... His bare feet, now looking a little more like claws, were rather fascinating to her. In fact, her gaze lingered on his feet a little longer; while they were pretty cool since all these changes made Jericho look more and more like a dragon in his humanoid form, a small part of her couldn't help but feel slight pity about his feet... Now he'll never be able to wear boots, since they'll probably be uncomfortable for him to wear!
"Ohhh," She murmured as she looked up, staring into his "new" eyes, her expression softening a little, "They make you look pretty impressive! Your eyes... They're still really golden and pretty though. I like it... All the changes, that is!" Even the feet, despite how he would never get to enjoy boots again.
Such a pity.

"Well thank you," chuckled Jericho as he grinned to her. While she looked him over, he also ended up looking at his hands and feet a little more. Then, looking back up at her, he couldn't help but laugh lightly.
"Well thanks again," he smiled, "I don't suppose you've gone through any other changes yet?"
The dragon tilted his head as he looked at her. Her hair was longer but as far as he could tell, there were no other changes. Then again, he supposed that not all residents would have much change as they grew. The reapers for sure probably wouldn't have anything big happening to them.

"You are most welcome," She returned the grin with one of her own before pausing, shaking her head at his question, "Not that I know of... Oh! I grew a little taller!" She seemed extremely pleased at that.
Another pause followed as she stared at the little pony tail Jericho's hair was in, frowning a little before she slid over to his side and reached for it with a hand to gently flick it.
... And again.
She blushed slightly and was going to do it a third time before she realized that HEY, this was not her own hair. Or the hair of a ghoul. It was the hair of a boil... Thus, cue the awkward pause before she clapped, putting her hands together before giving Jericho the best hopeful, doe-eyed look she could muster, "May I put braids in your hair please?"
... What.

Rubbing his chin, Jericho stared at Lizzy for a moment. Come to think of it, she did look a bit taller. It was just harder for him to notice this when he's been seeing her consistently since he had first met her.
"Well, that you have!" he grinned before staring blankly at the girl as she.. .flicked his hair.
The dragon stood still, blinking at her, not sure what the jack she was doing here.
He became even more confused when she suddenly asked to braid his hair.
"Wait... what?"

"May I please braid your hair?" She repeated, a little louder this time since she thought that the boil did not hear her clearly the first time. The pleading, doe-eyed expression was still on her face as she looked up at Jericho; she would be staying that way till a reply was given.

Jericho took a step back, feeling slightly weirded out by the look Lizzy was currently giving him. Why did she want to braid his hair of all things?
"U-um... sure.. I guess..." he said, a little confused to what the sudden obsession with his hair was all about.

"YAY." She cheered before grabbing the boil by his arm, leading him in the direction of the common room with a wide smile on her face; it's been a while since she had braided anyone's hair! Sure, she braided her own on a regular basis, but braiding it for someone else was always more fun!
Never mind that the 'someone else' was a boil.
When they reached the common room, she looked around before making her way to one of the armchairs, patting it before letting his arm go. Turning, she then grinned at the dragon, "Take a seat, Mr Jericho~"

For a moment, Jericho's golden eyes widened while he was being dragged along towards the common room. A part of him wondered if it was a good idea that he agreed to this at all. But it was far far far too late for the dragon. Ushered into a seat, he looked up at Lizzy, really not sure what to make of all of this.
No one's ever really wanted to play with his hair before. At least... not like this. And he didn't really do much with it aside from tying it back. Then again, he only started having hair ever since he received his pin.
"Um... why are you doing this?" he asked, feeling rather confused.

Magically, Lizzy fished out a bag of small, black rubber hair ties from her bag together with a comb. Removing the hair tie holding Jericho's ponytail together, she begun combing through his hair; while it was pretty rough compared to say, Tess' or Junko's hair, she just had to be extra careful and gentle.
"Hmm?" She sounded distracted as she stopped, one hand in his hair and one hand holding onto the comb as she blinked, "Why... Uh, because it's fun?" For her anyway, "And someone told me that it's relaxing to have your hair combed~ It was pretty nice when mother did it for me."

"I uh.. wouldn't really know," Jericho blinked while shifting his wings a bit awkwardly. Was this normal? He wasn't really sure. The closest thing he supposed that happened was that his mother licked and cleaned his scales when he was a little one. That... wasn't exactly the same as this though.
"Um.. isn't this something girls usually do to.. other girls?" he blinked again, not really moving. He kind of recalled seeing some girls playing with others' hair before.
"Y-You do know that I'm not a girl right?"
