Seth couldn't help but be impressed by the barber's work. He'd assumed that someone would be nervous about the daunting task they'd issued, but the wolf didn't seem to care or notice. Part of him wondered about getting the trim done for himself, but having the thick coat was extremely useful when it came to travelling anywhere cold and in the winter. Besides, he had his human form. It was easy to take off his clothes and lounge naked. When his son spoke, Seth laughed out loud.
"You're a funny guy, Hady,[/b]" he said with a grin as he knelt down, ruffling the boy's fur affectionately. It felt strange, but he'd adjust to the feel of it with time. "How will he hold up in the cold?[/b]" he asked, looking up at the man with a somewhat worried expression. He'd wanted to take Hadrian to the Glacier, after all...
As Todd worked, Rhiannon watched, golden eyes bright as the man's hands flashed and fur fell in thick heaps onto the floor. Part of her wanted to bound forward and play in them, but having her mother so close kept her still and well behaved. She even leaned against Seth's legs a little more heavily, trying to hide her fear.
All the same, when she was ushered forward by her parents and Hadrian she slunk towards the man, looking up at him and giving him a small wag of her tail before she leapt into the chair. "Hi," she said softly, looking at the wolf. "I'm Rhiannon, but everybody just calls me Rhi.. Can you make me stop stinking? Majesty Xiven doesn't like to play with me for very long 'cause of it."
Oh, childhood and open honesty.

Mr. Todd threw a cursory glance over to the burly Human. "The col' won't sit too we'w wiff 'im any'mo. I wouldn't recommend takin' 'im anywhere too chilly. Though you get 'im a nice jacket and some ovver wrappins an' he should be fine. 'Is skin's still nice, 'n thick, twill keep out the worst of it."
The way the small girl approached him was horribly endearing. Little girls, such sweet things...and this one seemed to have a docile curiosity about her. "'Ello, Rhi. 'M Mr. Todd, 'm sorry about this majesty Xiven, you know I've met 'er? Nice little Torque, wiv an Ace? Sweet girl, let's get rid of that pong so you two can play a bit easier, eh?"
He gingerly reached for a few small pots and dipped a thin comb into one. He shook it lightly and cupped the girl's head in his hand as he slid it delicately through her fur. Working around the eyes took awhile, but he was impressed with how long this girl was able to sit still when compared to her sibling.
The second two pots were opened after he had gone over her entire coat and a thicker comb, one that would reach all the way to the skin, was dunked into them and then dragged through her fur. Special attention was paid to the undersides of her limbs and the back of her neck where a thicker ruff appeared to be. Half an hour later, he would make a small gesture and mutter something, giving Rhi the odd sensation of an egg being cracked over her head as some excess salve flowed off.
"Righ' you should be fine, git down and shake a bit, will you please?" His voice may have remained slightly monotone and surly, but he was fighting a small smile that curled at the edges of his mouth. These were good people, there weren't many of them around any more.

Heilyn moved away from the chair since she knew it would make Rhiannon more comfortable. That and Hadrian was sniffing at something and when unattended that usually lead to something unpleasant.
She gave an apologetic smile to Seth. She knew he wanted to take him to the Glacier, but it was knowingly make the boy suffer through hell by sending him to a tropical region or doing something about it. In any case, Heilyn had the feeling such a region wouldn't sit well with the boy anyway. He could turn out completely different when he got older, but being raised outside the harsh environment and people would probably make it hard for him to identify with the people. But that was just a thought.
"Mom?" he called from the floor. Heilyn looked down, "Can I have another turn?" Heilyn could only tilt her head.
"Hadrian, if he took any more hair from you, you'd be bald," she stated quite bluntly. He shook is head vigorously.
"Noo! I want a collar!" he proclaimed excitedly, remembering something Rhi said a while back, "One with spikes!"
"I'll compromise with studs. I know you'd find some miraculous way to harm yourself with spikes." Hadrian made an indignant face at her refusal to give him spikes, but the look she gave him back said 'studs or nothing' and he bumped his head against her leg to apologize for making a face at her. The man did do piercings, so she assumed he would have some jewelery to go with it. Maybe he had collars, too? I suppose he did stay still without me having to hold him down. Why the hell not? When Rhi was finished and shook off, Heilyn looked up at the man.
"This one's asking for a collar of some form. I was wondering if you carried any?"

Mr. Todd chuckled lightly at the boy's request for another turn. It did feel nice to have the combs run through every now and then, he should know. He had just turned back to his desk to put a few things away when the boy mentioned something that made him turn back. A collar?
"Collar, miss?" He asked with a slight smirk. "I've got a few of them, yeah. What color are you hoping for, eh?"
He reached down to another drawer and pulled out a thick, wooden box. Lifting the lid, he revealed a number of necklaces and collars, they all shone in some manner, looking far and away out of place in the weathered wooden box.
"Anything you like?"
