Harrison had pretty well assumed Candace had the whole Julie situation taken care of, until he got a written note in lipstick that confirmed otherwise. Waiting for him?? Candace had talked to her, right? At least the costumes for the gala afforded him some anonymity. But he should probably bring a date, just to be safe.
He was walking back to his dorm, trying to figure something out when he noticed Jude's door was open. Pod duty hadn't been so bad. Maybe Jude wouldn't mind covering for him.
"Hey," Harrison said, knocking on the wall and poking his head in, "you going to the Christmas Gala?"

Jude was seated at his desk staring at a small mirror as he held a set of scissors in his hands. He looked like a young man contemplating suicide or at least murder since his expression was blank and yet somehow sad (or at least frustrated it was hard to tell). When the knock came at his wall he started a bit and looked up over toward where the door was ajar with Harrison poking his head in.
Oh right he hadn't closed it all the way. Oh well.
The youth raised an eyebrow a bit and then shrugged a shoulder, "I don't usually go to that sorta thing but I might," he admitted casually.

Might sounded good to Harrison. "Need someone to go with?"
The scissors did not even register a blip on Harrison's weird-o-meter.

Was Harrison going to set him up on a date or something? There was a small pause before he answered with another, "Maybe," and then continued on with, "Depends on who it is."
That seemed safe enough. Caution is key.
Slowly Jude went to put the scissors down for now.

"Me. I just got a letter from Julie written in lipstick. ...I need back up. If I show up alone I might as well come dressed as...I don't know. A giant peppermint target." Harrison looked very concerned at the thought.

Jude tilted his head a bit toward one side as Harrison explained his motivations a bit more clearly. His elbow rested against his desk and soon his cheek was resting against his hand as he seemed to ponder this little...issue. He could ask what was in it for him but then Harrison was a friend or at least someone that didn't cause Jude much (or any) ire.
"Yes. Sure. I'll go with you." Jude finally said with a shrug. Why not? He'd probably run to Harrison with a similar issue if the roles were reversed.

"Great, thanks," Harrison said, grinning. He was about to pop back out and head to his own room, when the presence of the scissors finally registered.
"...You about to do some holiday decorations?" He asked, in spite of the lack of anything resembling garlands, strings of popcorn, or cheer anywhere in the nearby vicinity. "With the scissors," he added helpfully.

"Yeah, no problem." Jude replied with a small smile and then he moved to pick the scissors up when it seemed that the interaction was complete.
Jude had the scissors in hand again and then suddenly Harrison spoke to him once more. If it had been anyone else Jude might have had a snarky retort or something morbid to say about the whole having a pair of scissors in his hand but instead he gave an honest reply, "Considering a bit of a hair cut, actually. Tired of everyone trying to figure out if I'm a male or female."
His expression darkened briefly to one of annoyance before it became neutral again.

"I don't think it's girly," Harrison said. "It's sorta like that guy- what's his face. From Hercules. The television show."

Blink. Blink.
"Kevin..Sorbo?" Jude's inner nerd was showing suddenly.

"Yeah. That guy." That sounded right. Harrison had no idea what the actor's name was. "I don't blame you for not wanting to go to whoever does hair around here, though. From what I can tell, you'd probably come out of there dyed blue-green and sticking out every which way."

"Heh. You're probably right. Just to piss me off or some s**t," Jude replied as he turned back toward the mirror and toying a bit at his hair, "I mean...I don't want to chop it all off but maybe...Maybe something that umm...I dunno..."
He wasn't a hairdresser.
Jude huffed a sigh at the image in the mirror, "Like just a trim maybe make some bangs or something..."

"Uh," Harrison said, coming out of the doorway to give the situation some serious appraisal.
He squinted. He wasn't a hairstyle expert either. His hair was about as low-maintenance as you could get. But he'd had longer hair, sort of. Once.
"Yeah, bangs might be good. ...In the middle or sorta on one side?"

"Maybe..." Having Harrison there to talk to saved Jude from doing anything drastic or weird with his own hair. So it was probably a good thing the other Hunter stuck around with him during this moment of tremendous life changing decision.
He stared at the mirror a bit more before he picked it up and held it up toward Harrison, "Hold on to this would you. I need a better angle."

Harrison sat down on the bed beside Jude and held the mirror at the approximation of a good angle.
"This okay? ...Sure you don't need a trash can or anything?"
