[featherduster]

It makes me feel like I'm your mother or something...

[trailofblood]

Should I start callin' ya "the stampede," then?

[featherduster]

... That's not my last name.

[ But anyway ]

Does it actually bother you?

[trailofblood]

If you've got one, let's hear it.

[but more seriously]

It's not that it bothers me. I'm just sayin', if ya wanna call me Nicholas or Pound, I'd be okay with that.

[featherduster]

... I appreciate it. But you've always just been "Wolfwood" to me. It seems weird to change that.

1/2

[trailofblood]

[smiles a bit]

That's fine by me.

[trailofblood]

An' in case ya ask, no, I'm not gonna stop callin' ya spikey.

[featherduster]

What? Even if I grew my hair to my knees and it was never spikey again?

[trailofblood]

Like you'd ever do that. You'd be gettin' tangled up in it constantly.

[featherduster]

[ It's true. He's not even gonna pretend. ]

Yeah, it seems like a pain in the ass.

[trailofblood]

Not to mention, is it even possible to-

[wait, Knives and his sea of hair]

. . . Guess it would be if ya tried. . .

[featherduster]

[ hope u enjoy that mental image ]

To... what? Grow it out?

You're the one who got a shard of me with longer hair, remember?

[trailofblood]

Yeah, but I mean. . . when I saw Knives, he had a ton of hair.

[wait is it taboo to bring up your evil twin on the second date]

[featherduster]

[ A LITTLE ]

What... seriously??

[trailofblood]

Yeah- wait, it wasn't like that in your memories?

[featherduster]

No... no. Not ever.

[trailofblood]

[. . .]

[trailofblood]

Don't do it, you'd look terrible.

[featherduster]

... Aren't you supposed to say something about how I'd look good no matter what?

[trailofblood]

Ya want me to lie?

[featherduster]

[ Reprehensible ]

You're lucky I'm not dedicated enough to the idea that I'd do it just to spite you.

[trailofblood]

No, no, go right ahead. I'm sure it'd be hilarious watchin' ya trip all over it.

[featherduster]

[ He'd have to brush it and everything, too. NIGHTMAREISH. ]

When did you even see him with hair like that, anyway?

[trailofblood]

[okay but that's the part he'd rather not talk about. shrugs and noms some udon first]

The only time I remember seein' him myself, when I pointed a gun at him.

[featherduster]

... That's the only time you ever saw him? Seriously?

[ Dear lord his brother is the stereotypical menacing faceless disembodied villain ]
