Mr. Hughes! [ he laughs, surprised by the sudden appearance of the man but pleased to see him. ] Hey! I hope you've been doing well.
[ now in the colours of lively spring, day's peppy greens and pretty pinks and blues has him standing in strong contrast of the whites and greys of the snowy environment. almost ironically but day seems to content (or, at least, at peace) with his new set of colours.
he raises his servo, giving a subdued wave in greeting while asking for his spirit friends if he and mr. hughes can have some time to themselves. day's smile is a little fainter than usual for some reason, not as cheerful. did something happen...? ah, well, he's clearly happy to see a familiar face amongst the throng of spirits. maybe he's tired after helping the scurrying spirits all day. ]
You do? Oh wow- That's really nice of you, Mr. Hughes! Thanks! [ he doesn't ask right away what it is. he has a feeling he knows what this could be and, truth be told, he's... a little unsure if he can bring himself to touch it directly. let alone accept it after- well- after his firsthand experience with the opal. it hurts knowing now that, despite all this time, he wasn't even-
but mr. hughes went out of his way to locate day, track him down, and give it back to him in person so no one else got it and he was sure the opal came to the right person. that means a lot to the teenager. so hence the big smile, a cheerfulness that mr. hughes may have experienced earlier day is quick to bring up. ]
