[ After three days, he finally decides to emerge from relative obscurity and make a public post. The first thing anyone who knows him will notice is that his hair is no longer black. In fact, it's-- ]

Brown.

[ He says the word despondently into his communicator. There's a dramatic sigh and then he rests his forehead on the table, giving everyone watching a very good few of his newly-coloured hair while he moans: ]

Why brown... It's so dull...

[ From her spot, lying down under the blankets in her room: ]

It's not dull, Howl. You're just being dramatic again.

[ That...that shocks him pretty quickly out of his self-imposed misery. ]

Death-- Death isn't a colour...

[ A pretty weak response. But at least he's a bit more sober now. ]

But it is dull. Howl ...I do not understand why you mope. You are an incredibly handsome young man. And you look attractive with either yellow or black hair.

[waterformybath]

But young girls prefer blonde men...

Maybe I was beautiful with black hair, but brown? No...

Sexy detective?

[ Sexy, fine. But detective??? ]

[ He looks stunned by this information. And not really sure if he wants to be cast as a 'debonair detective' with a 'daring, throaty starlet' hanging off his arm. It seems a bit, well...raunchy. ]

I-I see... I think I'd rather charm young ladies than appeal to them in, ah, that manner.

[ You've given him something to think about, Nura. At least he'll take something away from this instead of mope. ]

Yes... Yes, that is true, isn't it. [ Now he looks distracted. ] Thank you.
