Well, this was definitely not the type of change that Tytus had expected when he woke up this morning. While traveling the world, gathering some intel on other countries and simply taking a break from his duties in Oba, the Oban had experienced various things but the strange pollen from the other day definitely was the most unexplainable thing yet. Tytus had been irritated by the pollen, his skin itching and his eyes watering, but he had thought that after the morning rain it would be totally fine. It turned out to not be the case though when he woke up, left his tavern room and saw the inn keeper even do a double take at his appearance. What was that? Did he look so horrible? It was a country-side tavern though so surely they had seen other travelers that looked a bit rough before him. He hadn’t really paid attention to his appearance this morning when he splashed some water on his face and scrubbed his face with some soap to wake up, Tytus not even bothering with his hair that was braided and hanging down his back since the irritation from the pollen had made him loathe to mess with anything at the moment, and there was no mirror in the room to show him what he looked like even as he wiped his face dry with the cloth by the basin. It was one of the plainest rooms he had ever stayed in, Tytus accustomed to having some luxuries in the last few years of his life since establishing himself from stableboy but it wasn’t something he was going to throw a fit over. If anything he used to sleep in a barn loft with hay as his bedding! Truly, his life was so different back then….Tytus frowned as he shoved aside such thoughts, not wanting to linger on the past a moment longer, and then focused on ordering that coffee with some toast and eggs to get him started for the day. The innkeep seemed to want to say something to Tytus, but simply opened and closed his mouth before accepting the money for the meal while his daughter who was much younger and far more curious took her time bringing over the food so that she could prepare her own questions.
“Did you buy dyes? Strange timing though unless you’re on the run from someone or something in Oba, coming all the way out here to change your appearance before going back to the bigger cities.” She commented while sliding the plate of food over towards Tytus. “Or did you get affected like others? I heard a commotion in the markets this morning and even my own crystals are slightly darker now.” Her emerald gaze gleamed with interest as she watched Tytus accept his coffee, the steaming mug a welcome relief to his hands which sought warmth from the morning chill.
Tytus took a whiff of his coffee, enjoying the bitter smell before blinking as the girl’s words registered with him. “I’m sorry? What do you mean?” Though now that he was looking at things…was his hand slightly lighter than before or no? It was so confusing and far too early in the morning for this. “You don’t happen to have a mirror, do you?” Now he was truly concerned. If he looked different enough for a stranger to notice then he had to check it out for himself! The coffee was too blurry, the wooden plate was no better to try and check out his appearance either.
“One second.” She scurried away before returning with a small hand mirror, holding it out so that Tytus could inspect himself. “See?”
“Ye-yeah.” Tytus blinked, his hand raising to touch a cheek. His crystals seemed the same but everything else was completely different. How had the innkeep even recognize him in the first place?! His hair was so pink and his eyes pale! “What caused this?”
“Some are thinking it may have been the pollen.” The girl giggled. “It’s different, right? I thought so! When you came in yesterday afternoon you definitely had red hair and such. I knew it!” She winked towards Tytus as he glanced from the mirror to look back at her. “You’re still handsome, if that helps. Though if you were wanting a fresh start then I would consider this a good beginning!”
“You’re right.” Tytus chuckled, his concerns slowly slipping from his shoulders at the realization. “This is definitely a good way to begin a new journey, a new life.” He had separated from his travel companion for a day or so to check out this area and it would be amusing to see how she reacted to his new appearance. But it was nice, as if even the gods were blessing him and allowing old painful memories to slip away into a brighter tomorrow.
