Aloha! E Komo Mai! - chapter 2
Timeline: After Night Play and Advent '10
Ash was just sitting down to relax with a nice glass of whiskey when Savitar interrupted him. Feeling a strange sense of déjà vu, he sighed as he motioned for Savitar to join him.
Savitar was smirking at him.
It was mildly disturbing.
"What is it now?" He asked wearily.
"Harry has black hair."
Ash blinked at the non sequitur. "He changed his hair colour?"
Savitar crossed his leg, leaned back in his seat and templed his fingers. "No. His natural hair colour is black."
Ash looked at him weirdly. "So? He told you. Why are you telling me?"
Savitar's smirk widened and Ash thought he saw a flicker of glee pass through them.
Nah. Must have been a trick of the light.
"He didn't tell me."
"Then how did you find out then?"
Savitar's smirk turned into an evil grin.
"Why are you grinning like-" Ash cut himself off as it clicked. He shot up from the chair and backed away from his friend with a look of disturbed horror on his face. "Oh gods! I don't want to know Savitar!"
Savitar stood up and started following him across the room. "Are you sure? I mean, I had to go to a lot of effort for that information. It might be nice to get some acknowledgement of my hard work from a friend."
"You know my instincts have me seeing him as my child!"
"Hours and hours. Checking and re-checking."
"Shut up! Please, for the love of!"
"Over and over, again and again and again-"
"Why are you doing this to me!" Ash yelled as he rushed out the room.
Savitar snickered and picked up Ash's abandoned whiskey glass. "Maybe next time, eh?" He called after him as he took a sip.
His answer was a faint door slam.
