Just to clarify.
She turned her body in their chair, pulling up her knees so she could fully face Jake. Then she leaned over, a bit of the scarf bunched up in each hand, then looped the fabric over Jake's head. Giggle. "Pretty."
But not done yet.
Next, she pushed the scarf UP past his forehead, catching all of his hair and pulling it back from his face. Scarf turns headband. Giggle. His hair was standing up every every EVERY which way it could. "Prettier."
Her face was tinged with confusion, in and among all the SO AMUSED looks he was getting. What did he mean what would SHE go as? She'd go with whatever matched him.... duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
"Well..." Jake began, kind of distraaaaaaaaaaacted by Neptune's scarf actions. Hm. "I wouldn't be offended if it was like... a friend kind of thing. 'Cause you're quite popular from what IIIIIII see. But if you were like 'meh, I'm kind of bored with JAKE' and decided to just ditch me like that... then yes... quite offended."
Not that he expected that. Nope. He trusted that Neptune wouldn't do that. "But I don't think you're like that."
But she did seem the kind of person to... accessorise.
"Uhh..." Jake said as he blinked at Neptune, hair pointing everywhere with the blue scarf around his head. "As fantastic as YOU look in this... I don't think it works in quite the same way for me."
Ahem.
Plus, his hair could NOT be looking any better.
Neptune was a loon.
And Jake loved it.
