[The sight that is revealed in the locket first appears to be a stranger, a seemingly unfamiliar brunette appearing within it. But there soon enough comes a large smile, one that's most definitely been seen by some around the Drabwurld, a signature grin that would normally belong to a certain mischievous winter spirit.

Except now, the spirit isn't a spirit at all, or he doesn't seem to be. Because sparkling blue eyes have now transformed into a simple chestnut color and pale skin has become naturally colored flesh. What once was a notable ice spirit has somehow become a human.]

So I decided to try a little makeover—you know—do the whole dull color trend, blend in with the scenery, that kind of thing.

[What he tries to portray as disinterest is easily betrayed by his widening smile, obviously revealing just how excited he is about this.]

What do you think? Does it suit me at all?

( ooc: his icons will still have his white hair, but he'll still be in his human form throughout comments / the change comes from his boon, a necklace that allows him to change into a human when he wears it )

[She'll toss him hers if she has to.]

Aye, it is. We'll have to get ye a blanket so that you're not walkin' around like somethin' unfortunate happened to your backside.

[Ew, shoes are dumb. It's insulting to even offer.]

Whoa, hold on. That's a precious area there. Don't go damaging it.

[Have fun walking around getting your feet cut 8V]

Looks like you'll be ridin' sidesaddle then.

Sidesaddle? That's ridiculous. Besides, I could change back whenever I want. As if I'd give up flying all together.

[Don't make him laugh.]

You're sayin' that like I didn't know.

[She's a smart lass, she can guess '^']

What do you mean like you didn't know? You have no idea why or how I look like this in the first place.

Numptie, I meant like I didn't know you could change back whenever you wanted.

[She rolls her eyes. Really.]

It's magic, innit?

Numptie.Geez.

[He rolls his own eyes back, but he reaches into his shirt to pull out a golden amulet on a necklace, holding it up for her to see.]

This thing here? Helps me change apparently.

[She eyes it for a moment. If she hadn't seen her own mother turn into a bear and known she was in faerie world she would have been skeptical.]

Well it works, I'll give it that. No side effects or anythin'?

None so far. [Hopefully none at all. Hiccup was on his case about that, saying it was way too suspicious for it to be this easy.]

I seem to be doing alright.

Well...be careful in any case.

[She doesn't trust it either, but if it was something he wanted... Merida bites her bottom lip.]

Take it off if it starts doing weird stuff.

[He smiles though, because people are worried about him and that's not the sort of treatment he's used to.]

Yeah, I know. Hiccup's been kind of skeptical about it too, but I promise—I won't overdo it.

Good. We wouldn't want to lose th' Jack we know an' tolerate.

[She means love, really.]

Oh, please, as if you could get rid of me that easily. [Never in a million years, Merida. Don't worry.]

People keep saying I look boring, so I'll have to ease up on using it. I can't go around damaging my reputation.

Aye, they might think you've been body snatched or somethin'.

[She'd poke your nose if she could.]

Just cause the color tones are different doesn't mean I'm any less fun, you know.

[Even if he can't make snowballs on command.]

I dunno. I might need to witness that before I make any assumptions.

[Cheeky grin.]

Don't even deny there's complete excitement just by talking to me.

[Super fun conversationalist!!]

Well, it is different talkin' to guys who aren't my brothers or father. I don't have friends back home.

And look at us, having a bit more in common than we think.

Aye, perhaps we do.

[Gods know she feels invisible to her mother sometimes when she isn't being ragged on.]

So how many people are ye plannin' on spookin' with that new doo hickey of yours?

Spooking? There's absolutely nothing to spook. You'd think more people would have a freaked out reaction over the white hair than this.

If it helps, it freaked me out a bit at first. I've only seen one or two people with hair that colour, an' even then they had bits of grey.

[She shrugs.]

Most of my people die in battle or th'...seasons before they reach old age.

[She stops herself from saying winter, since she doesn't want to hurt his feelings.]

[He pauses, blinking as he listens.]

Yeah, I know how that is. I've seen it in a lot of places.

[Wandering for years, you kind of see death more often than you want.]

[She doesn't like where this is going so SUBJECT CHANGE]

Of course, my mam's hair is a darker colour of brown. Not nearly as gorgeous as that.
