Nam is biased since he first met Gaja as a pale blond thing. Gaja much prefers his fiery plumage to the faded colors of his later life. But, he knows Nam likes it so this time he opted not to cover it.

Gaja also knows that Nam likes compliments (who doesn't, really?). SO to make sure he gives one that's genuine, Gaja looks him over once more, really focusing on his choice of colors. "You look as brilliant as the sunset over the sea, my friend."
