i like that the joke setup IS the punchline thinkin_arbys September 15 2011, 07:34:20 UTC

[She's a little late, due to the ridiculousness that occurred in her room, but she gets there! And this is another change in store for him, as this time around she's in normal clothes: a pink checked Western-style shirt, pressed dark jeans, and boots. Someone convinced her cowgirl style suited her, and she listened.

A look of relief crosses her face when she spots him, and she tries to look casual as she walks over to take a seat beside Erik.]

I'm sorry I'm late.

[Erik is patient enough, so he doesn't mind when she shows, fashionably late. He raises a brow when he sees her, however, since this is what appears to be a new look.]

No need to apologize. [He nods at her in both greeting and acknowledgement.] You look different today.

[A sip of his beer, then he quips:] Again.

[She should have known that comment was coming. She only looks a little surprised, and a teeny bit embarrassed.]

A friend helped me pick this out, so I thought I should wear it.

[It's really not necessary to mention the travesty that has been her birthday, and the absolute mess that was made of her usual clothes thanks to good-intentioned decorators...]

I'll try not to be so different in the future. At least my hair is the same this time. No wig...

[And if he looks closely, he will see her Stand nestled in a leather holster at her right hip, neatly affixed to a regular belt. That won't be changing.]

[He means it all in good humour, albeit with a hint of trademark Erik dryness.]

It's a good choice; it suits you.

[He looks her over, and of course notices the Stand. That object will continue to be of particular interest to the man.]

Some things, however, don't change.

[...She didn't expect that reply. It suits her?? She actually glances down a bit--the boots are her favorite part of the outfit.]

There's something to be said for variety, but it's better if some things stay the same.

You... Look nice.
