[ there's a... visible change in Vash's expression. Even if Kni didn't see it; he'd feel how their psychic link goes a little quiet, the happy, carefree song becoming a little quieter, a little more somber.
He'd expected this question eventually, but this early...
...
He'd promised he'd never lie to Kni. And he wasn't about to start here. Not with this. ]
...It's.
Something like that.
[ it wasn't WRONG to say that 'age' made it darken, but... ]
Age has something to do with it. But it's less 'getting older'... and more. How much energy we use. Just like how humans get old and wrinkly, and their bodies start to get weaker. Plants don't ... age the same way. But when we lose the energy that sustains us, our hair starts to turn black.
[ ...he can see that Kni might start to worry, so he immediately flashes a grin. ]
--Don't worry! I'm only 151 years old, and it only got this dark because I had a freak accident about two years ago--where I used up a whole bunch of energy at once. It was fully blonde before that accident--see--and it isn't something can that can happen in this world.
So, so long as I don't do it,--which, remember, I can't. It's a power I don't have access to in this world--my hair won't get dark for a very, very, very long time.
