Herbert practically bounced down the hall to his father's study.
"DADDY!" he called, long before he even reached the door.
When he did, he paused long enough to try to push his newly acquired shorter forelock... thing.... back with the rest of his hair, then knocked hard, the result of which was the forelock tumbling loose again. Herber made a face and tried pushing it back again.

*After a moment, the door opened to reveal the regal figure of von Krolock. He beamed at his son*
"My dear boy! Always good to see you."
*He stood aside so that Herbert could pass*
"What brings you to my door?"

"I think I looooove him," Herbert announced.

*His eyebrows went up*
"The angel?"
*He was genuinely happy, though surprised. This was the longest relationship he could recall Herbert having, save for one lamentable fellow in the past...but the less said there, the better*

"Yes, Daddy, the angel," Herbert said euphorically, collapsing into a chair and wrapping his arms around himself. The stubborn bit of hair flopped out again, and he just as stubbornly went to tuck it back again.

*Wait, no--Krolock's surprise before wasn't anything like it was now*
"Did you...cut your hair?" He asked incredulously.

"Just a little bit..." Herbert said guiltily, seeming almost to shrink.

"In all the years we have been undead, I have never seen you do something so sudden with your hair. What brought this on?"
*Only something extremely important and earth-moving would cause Herbert to do something like this. Krolock had to know just what could so move his son*

"I... I gave it to Aziraphale..." said Herbert, sounding a lot like a scolded child caught sneaking cookies.

*All surprise and doubts went out the window at this. In fact, Krolock was smiling the sort of smile that hadn't been on his face in centuries. Genuinely happy*
"He means that much to you, then. Forgive me for doubting your sincerity--and I am so glad that you finally found someone."

"He says it suits me," Herbert said blissfully, hugging himself tighter.

*He eyed it thoughtfully for a moment*
"I think it's quite fetching, actually."

Herbert was now grinning so widely that his eyes had nearly vanished.

*Krolock chuckled as he held a hand out to Herbert*
"Tell him he has a standing invitation to stay at the castle, hmm?"
