Prosper sometimes thought that Scipio hadn't really changed that much after all. After some sharp remarks from Ida he'd gotten a haircut that was just as messy as the one before the ride, and after some rather unfortunate accidents with the razor blade he had become quite adept with shaving, too. Not that Prop had disliked Scipio's pirate look, but he was happier with the new old Scip. Taller, granted, and his face not as boyish anymore, but at least his kisses didn't leave a rash that provoked weird looks from the others.
Prosper grinned and pulled his friend closer.
