Surprise, Nam! This year, the bird kept better track of the changing seasons and managed to arrive at the village near his friend's river long before the festival Nam mentions every year began. It could be luck. Gaja spends so much of his time up above the world, it's hard to gauge the seasons. But this year, recalling Nam mentioning it time and time again, he shows up.

Coincidentally, Gaja foregoes his usually golds and fiery colors for celebratory events in favor of shimmering blues and silvers (reminiscent of a certain dragon's scales in the water). Despite his dislike of the cooler temperatures, he chose something thin and ethereal with understated makeup (bearing a touch of his gold). While Nam's hair is bright and fiery, Gaja's has begun to fade. Is it getting close to that time already? You'd never guess it from the way he positively lights up when he sees Nam.

"Your hair!!" Insert Spiderman pointing meme here.

Nam tends to have a decent enough time keeping track of the seasons based not only on the changing weather that he must stay aware of, but also on the holidays and festivals that take place in them. The town his river is closest to celebrates every one of them and the townspeople always ask him to join in the festivities. Or rather a small selection is made to ask. It's almost amusing how every other day, they'll ask him for all manner of things without question or hesitation, but when the time comes to invite him to a celebration, they get nervous. It's likely because they know they're off to try to talk Nam into doing something he so rarely likes to do. Their anxiousness has some merit to it.

Looking down at and quietly speaking with some small children who are petting and admiring his clothing, Nam shoos them away when he notices Gaja's approach. He's initially thrown off by Gaja's clothing choice. It's unlike what Nam's come to expect from him and far closer to something that Nam, himself, might choose. He looks absolutely stunning in the blues and silvers (the similarities to the colours of his own natural form don't escape him), especially with the way his hair has begun to fade. Gaja often tries to hide it but Nam's always thought it looks wonderful on him.

"In the spirit of the festival, I thought I might change my appearance a little." As though a dragon appearing a human isn't enough of a change already. "What do you think?"

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."
