That gives him pause a minute, one eyebrow raising, before suddenly something clicks. Both what Kovu's talking about and the fact that he's actually joking.

Naturally, that gets a laugh out of him.

"Hah, oh, guess I must've hit a really late growth spurt."

He tugs on the end of a lock of his bangs.

"Decided to go blond. It's the new brunette. H'but I still can't decide if I like my hair up or down."

As if to make a point, while he's talking, he starts flipping his bangs with a hand so that they stand up straight and then lay flat again.

"Which looks better? Up? Down? Up? Down?"

He pauses after flipping his bangs back up one more time, glancing over his shoulder with a slightly too wide smile at the sound of somebody else arriving.

"What d'you think, Bro?"
