Video. 5.

Just in case anyone was wondering, I didn't grow a beard and I didn't acquire an alarming amount of sass.

[ That's a good way to start, Ned. ]

Face-alikes are as common as common can get around here, but I'm not one for big jokes. If the beard isn't a reliable tell, let it be his jokes. Here's a joke: Why did the chicken cross the road? [ Wait for it, wait for itttt... ] Not sure, I don't eat chicken.

PSA done, Pie Maker out.

Oh. No, they're brown.

[ A beat. ]

Natural. Brown.

[Oh hai dere, future face twin.

The elf-king appears satisfied with this answer. Or at least, he doesn't appear dissatisfied.]

There is a resemblance in body, but I do not believe one could mistake the two of you.

[It's not even the beard or the jokes.]

Thank you.

[ It sounded like a compliment, anyways. ]

At least you're making it easy.

I have nothing to do with it.

Still. [ Y e e s h. Ahem, but have a friendly and brief smile afterwards, stranger. ]

[A brief smile back, almost as a reflex. A vaguely weirded-out reflex.]

Does it offend you so, that you look alike? Has he offended you?

[ And the Pie Maker suddenly is at a loss of words, or rather, a proper response. It's true he isn't offended. Why, the man hasn't offered anything but kindness. The sort of kindness that beats at your shoulder.

A small jab. ]

No. [ +1 star for epiphany. ]
