Broadcast

[If you've seen this face the past few months you will have noticed a sort of tension or sadness to him. When you see him now in the video he looks decidedly more relaxed and happy as he smiles.]

Good evening. During the past month I have been rather busy preparing something that I have felt our little fleet rather lacks. So it is my greatest pleasure to introduce you to my salon...

[He reveals a lovely salon that has a chair with a mirror and another chair in the back with a basin for water. It's a refined and simple set-up that is somehow classic yet timeless. There even appears to be a setup for him to serve his customers tea.]

This is the Miason de la Lune. I specialize in hair and cosmetics primarily but can also be sure to offer some fashion advice if need be. I am rather easy to find on the Iskaulit so you shouldn't have problems with coming here.

[He gives a little flourishing bow to the camera.]

It will be the pleasure of myself, Mr. Rabiffano, to serve you. I thank you and wish you well.

Action - Salon

[For anyone needing some pampering in the form of a facial or a hair cut or style or just about any sort of cosmetic thing...this is the wolf for you. He has organized his salon in a painstaking matter to ensure that it is perfect. The seats are comfortable, the supplies are full and ready... Every last detail has been seen to.

So when you step inside, you will find him there in one of his flawless suits. A smile is on his lips and his hair is perfectly curled to frame his face just so. With a bow, he will present his little tea station.]

Welcome. May I offer you tea while you tell me how I may serve you?

Action - Blameless

[The crew of the Blameless is sure to have noticed that their resident werewolf has become decided more relaxed. He smiles more and he even laughs more. Why, he doesn't comment as thoroughly on the subject of formalities. It seems the arrival of a certain other werewolf who is moving in with the crew has done him a lot of good.

Naturally he can still be found in his usual locations: Making sure there's a regular tea time, seeing that everything is organized and clean, perhaps down exploring some of the games that the ship has. The fact is that he's surprisingly just...not sad. He's relaxed and happy.

Seriously, you can thank Lyall for just showing up and living here now.]

It has something to do with the more futuristic technology. I'm still not entirely familiar with all of it myself.

[Grabbing the hair dryer (seriously, he adores this thing and wishes he could have one just like it back home), he starts to dry Lyall's hair out while he brushes it. The result? Beautifully smooth and shiny strands.

Luckily their good hearing means he doesn't really have to raise his voice so they can keep on talking like this.]

I have noticed there is something true about popularity equating to more money though. It is how I was able to afford all the supplies for this shop.

... Why am I not surprised that you would be popular?

[Biffy is a genuinely nice and sensitive person with a good head on his shoulders, he's handsome, he has a way with words and... maybe he'll stop there.]

How do you get this money, then?

It's delivered to us. For whatever reason the currency appears to apply to every star system we travel to as well.

[He has no idea how that works but he will say that he's willing to let that slide if it means giving him access to things he requires.]

That's convenient.

[And weird.]

It seems a lot of the people that are around here are a bit more familiar with this whole concept of space travel than we are. A young lady I met on the Marsiva told me this was common where she is from and she grew up going from planet to planet.

One man that I am familiar with here does the same. It's rather spectacular to imagine where technology will go one day for humans.

[After all, while they can handle these ships, he's not sure if they would be able to in their world once the technology had been invented.]

I think there is a lot you could find fascinating when it comes to learning here.

[He loves you, you little nerd of his.]

I believe so as well. Just the... basic knowledge they give us is fascinating to be honest. The technology behind this whole thing is so advanced!

Steam seems to be playing a part, but it's rather minimal, although heat and combustion are needed to provide propulsion of some kind

[Yes, okay he is nerding out on this because this is sooooo coool!]

[It's now where he falls silent. Though he often doesn't understand any of these topics, he does love the life it brings to Lyall's face. So of course he's going to encourage him to talk about them.

After he's finished with drying his hair, he brushes the strands again then fetches a pomade to help keep the strands smooth and silky as well as providing them with a delightful scent.

One that might smell a lot like Biffy himself.

Shhhh...just let him mark you, Lyall. He's enjoying himself.]

[Lyall doesn't even seem to realize he's started babbling, at least until the scent of the pomade hits his nose and he suddenly stops speaking and blinks, before looking up.]

.... You are impossible, really.

Oh? Whatever do you mean?

[He gives him a wicked little grin, well aware of what he's been doing and is doing. Even as he gently guides Lyall's head back down again so he can tie his hair back properly.]

You know very well what I'm speaking off, you cheeky pup.

[It's probably because Biffy is just so ridiculously happy right now that the endearment falls from Lyall's lips even though they're very much not in private - even though no one else is there.]

[Oh but he does so love hearing that endearment. He's missed being scolded like that by Lyall. Perhaps an odd thing to miss but no one else could ever properly understand.]

Really? And here I was simply making sure that your hair would sit perfectly at your neck when I was done tying it back.

Oh, of course.

[Can you hear the sarcasm dripping from these words, Biffy. It would be so cutting were it not offset by gruff fondness. Really now, this impossible man!]

So suspicious, Lyall. Really now.

[Tying that ribbon into a perfect bow, he goes to get tea for them both so they can enjoy a cup together. He has no other appointments presently so he can afford to take this time with his lover.]

I must say that these new products are quite wonderful though. They bring out that natural shine of your hair.

And they smell very nice.

[Pointed look. It's not suspicious if he's right about it, Biffy.]

Where did you manage to procure them?

Systems we stop at will sometimes have things. I made sure to gather as much as possible in the places we've been to since my arrival and have been keeping them. However when I saw how much I had I realized I could make better use of the items and help others as well.

[He waves to the salon around them as he hands Lyall his cup.]

And so my salon was born.

I am sure it will be a great success.

[After all, the hat shop in London is the most successful shop in the area, so there's no reason for another business endeavor like this flounder, esepcially given how good Biffy is.]

Thank you. It always pleases me to have your encouragement.

[Sipping at his tea, he makes a note to get another chair to add so it will be easier to enjoy tea with company during moments like this. For now he's honestly just pleased to have Lyall in the chair.]

I'm also pleased that I have you hear to see it at the start.

Will you be here all day for the grand opening?

[He can definitely find something to occupy himself if that is the case.]

I will. However, I will be back in time for supper and tea before bed. Do you know what you would like to do in the meantime?

I was thinking I would explore around here. We could go back together in the evening.

[He smiles at the phrasing.]

It's nice not having to worry about the sun up here, isn't it.

Yes, it is. I suppose we'll still have to be careful should we choose to alight on one of the planets.

[Not that he can't withstand the sun himself, but it's uncomfortable.]

We will. However, I feel we can manage that.

[He's really not interested in being in the sun. Alpha or not.]

As long as we can keep accurate track of the sunrise, it should be fine.

[Just then, someone curious enters the newly open salon, and Lyall stands up.]

Well then, I shall leave you to it, my Lord.

[He nods his head politely to him.]

I will see you later, Lyall. Enjoy your adventures.
