Working on the parole fic idea bits here
I was thinking about how to endear Albedo to Rook.
The first thing that came to mind was Rooks first unscheduled meeting with Albedo. He shows up unannounced and finds Albedo with contraband gene alteration tech. And he angrily admonishes Albedo for it. Albedo just looks at him and admits he can't stand looking at his reflection anymore.
"And you're willing to risk reincarceration?"
And Albedo responds with and emphatic "Yes"
And that's where their understanding begins.
Rook takes Albedo to an Undertown salon. He gets his hair dyed as a way to reclaim the form.
He also thanks Rook
Rook requests he not mention it, and also doesn't note the parole breaking contraband on his visit report.
