New Hair Color - █
------------------
Before Siel left to meet up with Quiana he wanted to check in on Amaya and the baby. As awkward as it was to be around her he bore the woman no ill feelings and wanted to know she was well before he went off on his next adventure. More so, he wanted to make sure they were okay after that surge of pollen from the night before. Just where had it all come from anyway? He would have expected it if he were still in Jauhar, but since they were right on the coast it was more than a little odd.
He'd been given a few odd looks as he left the inn that morning, but Siel being Siel had chosen to ignore it. The further he got into the village proper the more discontent he felt. Others were muttering to themselves, some tugging at their hair while others stared into the eyes of a lover and not in a romantic way. What…What was going on? Doing a smaller halfturn as he walked, the hybrid very nearly ran into a stranger-
-who was not a stranger.
“Brevyn?!” The Matorian looked nothing like himself! His skin was lighter, his eyes darker and his hair was nearly black! If it weren’t for the square set of his jaw and the nasty scars on his chest Siel might have passed him by completely! “What happened to you?”
“What happened to me? You should look at yourself, lad!”
A tick started in Siel’s eye. “I should what now?” No no no no. Siel looked around him and when Brevyn motioned to a nearby villager peacefully washing her cookware. He wasted no time snatching up her biggest pot, much to the woman’s clear disdain, and flipping it over to look at himself. The image was warped, but – “Oh thank the Gods, I’m still hot.”
“That’s all you have to say?” Brevyn’s incredulous voice was a near snort behind him. “Your hair color changed overnight! Aren’t you worried about that at all?”
“It’s cheaper than hair dye, I can tell you that much.” He’d tried once when he was younger, just to see if he could match Lutana’s hue and it had ended in a mess. This was…a shade of blue he hadn’t thought about before, but he wasn’t mad at it. Still, Siel lifted his fingers and pinched a lock between his thumb and forefinger. “…I’d be lying if I said it didn’t worry me. Hair doesn’t just do that and I liked mine.” It was the same as Morain’s; something the brothers had once teased their dear sister about years ago.
“What about Amaya? And the baby?”
“My grandson was untouched, thank goodness, but Amaya’s hair is green now.” Brevyn shrugged. “It’ll be a fair shade easier to explain back home than this.” And he motioned to his own fully changed self.
“I’d say so,” Siel murmured. He lifted the pan once more, trying his best to get as good a look as he could before it’s rightful owner snatched it from his hands.
“If you want to look at yer’self then go buy a mirror. Now buzz off.”
“Sorry, sorry,” Siel dug around in his pouch and tossed a copper her way, “For the smudges.” That seemed to be enough to sway her and with that taken care of he fell in line with Brevyn back to their room at the inn. The man seemed to be taking to his changes about as well as anyone could, though Siel had to wonder where it all started. Was it the pollens fault? Some sort of curse on the village? Would it fade with time or was this permanent? Not like I really blended with the family to start with. He’d always known he didn’t match his older siblings, let alone his fathers or younger siblings, but there was something comforting in being part of a triplet set. Siel, Lutana and Morain were easy enough to spot in a crowd and despite their individual differences they were a visible set.
Now…not so much. And what if they’d changed as well? What if they were as different from one another now as Casimir and Calliana, or Ygraine and Sol? He didn’t cherish the idea. Would he even recognize them once he saw them again? At least he wouldn’t have to worry about missing Quiana at the port, though…what if she couldn’t find him? With a huff, he reached for his locks once more as they walked, passively ‘hmming’ and nodding his head while Brevyn talked.
