[that makes him laugh, though not unkindly.]

Would you believe I do?

[kanyounot]

[ Well, it was intended to lighten the mood! ]

I mean, she wasn't impressed, but...

[h2no]

Yikes. Sorry.

...You did look a lot hotter with the beard. Expert opinion.

[kanyounot]

Well... thanks.

If it helps, I'll probably grow it back out. Too much hassle to maintain the clean-shaven look.

[h2no]

She's not here, right? That's metaphorical as hell.

[and sad, but he's got the soft touch of a wrecking ball right now.]

[kanyounot]

She’s not, no. But calling it metaphorical sounds like drunk logic to me.

[h2no]

It's deep.

Or... no, I get ya. Clean shaven is dumb an' boring. Bad choice. No offense.

[h2no]

...Some offense.

[kanyounot]

Only some? Ah well, you're not wrong, so I'm not offended.

Admittedly, I first grew the beard back in the day for pretty stupid reasons, too, so.

[h2no]

I knew it was too well groomed to be a laziness thing!

[he laughs, though he's not sure how to follow it up.]

Whys that, then? Gimme your facial hair history.

[kanyounot]

Back in the day, I just had a, whaddaya call it, a “soul patch”. When I was like 18 I thought the long hair and “soul patch” look was cool and the ladies would like it.

[h2no]

Oh, no. Ohhhh no, I did the same thing! I-- I couldn't grow anything until I was in my twenties, so it was just... bad. Really bad. Never had long hair though.

No manbun. Let's be thankful for that.

[kanyounot]

Eh, mine wasn’t bad. And I wasn’t totally wrong about the ladies, either. [ Kanan used to get around. ]

I just grew it out after I was blinded, because maintaining it was a real pain.

[h2no]

Lotta people like beards.

[though archie's been with as many people who told him they want it gone than ones who loved it. it's really a dealbreaker sometimes!]

Whatever works, right?

[kanyounot]

[ Admittedly in Kanan's case it's a self-selecting pool - he didn't go in for ~relationships~ before he met Hera. ]

Yeah, necessity is the mother of invention and all that.

[h2no]

Mountain-man look is the mother of... h-- hornyness.

[just hang up while you're ahead, kanan.]

[kanyounot]

I... [ What. ]

You’re drunk, Archie. Go to sleep.

[h2no]

Okay.

...


I had to know. Sober me will be horrified at this conversation. I just-- had to know.

[kanyounot]

You're fine - I'm not easy to offend. Nothing to be embarrassed about.
