When Nico arrived, Sylvie stared. From Nico's grin and expectant look, she judged that surprise had been the desired reaction, and asked, "Why is your hair pink?"
"It's dyed. I won a bet."
"Won or lost?"
"Won. Someone bet me I wouldn't dye my hair pink. Didn't know me as well as he thought he did."
Taking in the slightly frilly dress, and cat's ears, Sylvie asked, "And the rest?" They were not going to a costume party.
"Just seemed to go with it well."
If it was a joke at Nico's expense, she sure had fun with it, anyway.
