Dilis entered the shoppe quietly with her bander Aiden, she knew Mr. Todd had a temperament and she did not want to offend him by making so much noise. Looking around she did not see him at first but Mrs. Lovett was a friend of his so she figured he might be at her shoppe. Gripping the picture in her hand, she smiled knowing that this was going to be a big thing for her. She was changing not only her look but she was also changing her life. As she waited for him to make an appearance she took in the shoppe, it was very drab and kind of depressing with an ominous looking barber chair sitting in the middle of the room. A few flowers were strewn here and there, something that Dilis did not foresee Mr. Todd doing... it was most likely the doings of the woman downstairs, Mrs. Lovett. |

The door on the far left creaked open very suddenly and a tall Biped wolf stepped out into the main room of the shoppe. He had been resting in his private chambers when the bell in the shoppe went off... Who in all the hells? It was rather earlier than most people stopped down in his shoppe... He took in the look of the Avington before him...his level in rank with a bander. He snorted. "'Lo... What're you 'ere for?"He muttered, his shoulders hunched, hair a bit more wild than usual, his eyes had a slightly glazed look about them. He was tried and annoyed, this Cat had intruded on his private time...just like another Cat he knew...he wondered if she was even up yet...at least he had been dressed and somewhat prepared. |

She was just going to head out the door and come back later when it suddenly opened and on the other end was what she assumed was Mr. Todd. He was a very handsome, Biped wolf and it took every part of her manners to keep from flirting shamelessly with him. She had to behave herself so as not to upset him so she grabbed a hold of Aiden and kept him secured. “ Well, I had wanted to get a new hairdo if you would. I know it is quite early but I am prepared so you do not need to waste any more of your time.” She handed him the little picture she had in her hand.  “I would like something like the last hairdo in the picture, please Mr. Todd. I came to you because you are said to be the best barber there is in all the regions.” She smiled at him now feeling less fear than she had before, Father had certainly warned her about him. |

Didn't want to waste his time? A picture?
Well, that was helpful. More helpful than most women who entered his shoppe, gesturing stupidly with their paws or hands to approximate the shape and length they wanted. This was a far cry easier.
"I appreciate the flattery, miss, but it's unnecessary. That'll be 30p in your Human form, ovverwise you'll 'ave to pay to grow a mane. I'm not abou' to do that for free."
He muttered, looking over the picture again, easy enough to do, he hoped she either had a lot of money, or her Human form ready.
(Go ahead and figure out a way for her to trigger it mentally and change into her Human form <3 then pay the man and he'll get to work XD)

"Human form? Oh teehee, I have one of those. I am sorry, I should have though of that before."
She focused real hard and changed into her human form. She should have realized before that she would need to do that for him to style her hair. Silly Dilis. She was terribly distracted by how handsome he was though, she just kept staring at him though she tried to make sure he did not notice. She was so excited to make the change, hopefully Father would approve as well. She pretended not to care what he thought but deep down she really did.
She handed her money to him and waited for his response. "That was enough, right?" She did not understand why people claimed he had a bad temper, he was being quite amiable to her so far... but of course, she had not offended him so far.

Teehee? Bloody hell...a twit...
She changed before him and his expression remained the same. Bland and unimpressed...people always did that when they had power to show off...well, whatever.
"Yes, that's fine, miss. Please, have a seat an' I'll get started. Won't take too much...you want this to be your permanent style? So that every time you change it changes wiff you?"
He asked, knowing the answer was likely to be yes as he pulled a few tiny combs and a green pot toward him.
Her Human form was alright, but he could see why she wanted a new style. Her green locks were flat and bland...straight and dull.
He would have to fix that...

She knew she came off as kind of dumb but she figured people liked her better that way; if they knew she were rather intelligent they may just think she were boring and like the rest of the world. It did not matter though because she always had her stuffed bunny, Kirsten.
Kirsten was her best friend whom she told all her secrets to. Father said she was not real but Dilis knew better; Kirsten told her advice and stories to make her smile all the time. It was okay that people did not believe it because Mother told her before she passed that Dilis was the only one who needed to believe it. Man, did she miss her now...
Snapping back into the present, she realized Mr. Todd was speaking to her. He had directed her to sit down in his barber chair so she sat gingerly and looked back at him. "Yes, I would like for this to be permanent sir. Thank you for doing this; it really helps me out" She smiled.

As she sat down, he grunted slightly in acknowledgment and moved over to his table, pulling out a few combs, a Bunsen burner, a thick candle that was perfectly clear, and an assortment of tiny hair picks.
He also pulled out a rather large drapery cloth and, with a flourish, laid it over her and tied it lightly at the neck.
"There we are, miss. Hold still and tilt your head where I tell you to, please. Fank you."
He tilted the chair back a little and began running the combs through her hair, giving it a little texture and getting out any knots that might be hidden near the base of her scalp. He then flipped his hand lightly to his pocket and brought forth a shining sliver razor, holding the edges of her hair up between his fingers, he began ridding it of split ends and layering the top where there was the most blue.
"If you could lay you head to the side...fank you..."
He pulled her hair up lightly and quickly into the up-do she had requested, twirling the strands lightly and layering the strands so that they would remain in place, pulling a few of the hair picks out and sticking them in to hold place.
He then turned to the table and snagged the Bunsen burner and the candle. Looking down at the woman, he curled his lip slightly, wondering if she could even handle this.
"This is hot wax now, it'll keep the hair in place, give it a nice texture, and 'old it in all your forms. 'Old still."
He held the candle to the burner and slowly started melting the clear wax into the up-do, letting it run slowly into the hair and trying not to hit the woman's face. Once he had coated the hair, he would set both items down and slowly removed the hair picks. Reaching into his desk, he grabbed a small silver-backed mirror and handed it to her.
"'Ow's that for you?"

In anticipation, she watched him pull out his tools.... a bunsen burner? She was not sure if she should be scared or intrigued; eh, she could be a little of both honestly. She did not want to know what happened when she disobeyed his orders so she followed to them to the tee, at this rate.. if he said jump, she would have jumped.
She loved having her hair brushed, it soothed her and it helped that Mr. Todd was attractive to look at as well. For the few minutes it took him to brush her, she felt like she was in heaven. She did not pamper herself very often so this was a wonderful treat indeed.
Once he had put all the hair picks in, she thought he was done... but then she remembered the Bunsen burner. Closing her eyes, she tried not to think of him slipping and burning her. Hot wax was fun sometimes but in these circumstances, she rather she not get burned.
Once he was finished, she took the mirror from him. "Oh Mr. Todd, it looks wonderful. Thank you so much again." She extended her hand to him, knowing he probably would not take it. "It was a pleasure being here and meeting you. I hope I have the fortune of meeting you again in the future." She decided against keeping her hand out and brought it back to herself. Picking up her dress, she decided to show off her new look to the world. "Have a lovely day, Mr. Todd" she said turning back to him quickly before letting the door close behind her.
(I think that'll do it Nat dear, thanks for the RP <3)
