Harper hasn't escaped the costume or, it appears, the effects of the candied fruit that had turned Dylan's hair blue. Bright blond is a less ridiculous color than the shade of blue Dylan's hair has gone, but he'd have to admit Harper's costume is the worse of the two. Harper is a tiger. With a tail.

Because Harper hasn't commented on Dylan's appearance, he returns that particular favor. He wouldn't have been surprised if Harper had made some sort of comment about the costume, or ignored the warning about the hair, so that consideration deserves to be returned.

Much in the way of manners is apparently still more than Harper's willing to show, but ... Dylan had known that was a possibility, even a likelihood, when he decided to come here. But he's Harper's Captain, aboard the Andromeda Ascendant or aboard the Enterprise. And that means it's down to him to resolve this. Regardless of Harper's attitude.

"I want to talk to you," he says, his tone mild. "I thought we could go for a drink."
