Dan laughed again "Thanks" he was suddenly hit with worry. The world was getting too powerful for them. Supermen and gods walked the earth and they attempted to walk among them on even ground.
He pushed his hair back inspecting the grey that had settled in. He wondered when he got so vain.

"Well, I know your general opinion, but setting that aside for a moment, what do you think?" he asked, inspecting his other side now.

Dan turned and tilted his head to get a better look. He took a hard look at Adrian, attempting to pretend he hadn't known him most of his life
"You look good" Dan replied gently "honestly."

"I haven't worn it this short in at least fifteen years," he commented as he went about rinsing the razor. "The last thing I need is to come off desperate, though I suppose getting rid of the dye already helps."
He dried it and put it away.
"Adrien would have approved, I think," he said suddenly. "When I was at my most coarse and demanding and... unwilling to value her as she is, I asked her to have hers cut. It was just long enough that you could gather it in one hand."
He held up his inhuman right hand without looking or even seeming to realize what he was doing, with the thumb and forefinger forming a small loop.
Adrian lowered his hand and continued, "When she came back, she was ecstatic with the idea that she'd pleased me. She climbed into my lap, and teased me about the length of my own. I didn't laugh."
He frowned a little. When he went back to what he was doing, he moved with a renewed anxious energy.

Dan watched him carefully, reaching out with a gentle hand to touch his elbow "Hey-"

"Please, Dan. Don't betray her by pardoning me."

Dan wasn't exactly sure how to respond. He'd never forget how Adrian had treated Adrien, he'd made that promise.
So he nodded, providing an approval and an understanding. He rubbed his arm with a sad smile and turned to adjust his glasses.
