Broadcast: Yes
Action: Maison de la Lune

Broadcast

[Some of you will recognize the proprietor of the salon on the Iskaulit, you can even see the salon behind him. Biffy smiles as he offers a little nod of his head.]

Good evening. After our recent experiences, I believe it is time for me to remind everyone of my services here. I am Mr. Rabiffano, the owner of the Maison de la Lune, a refined salon where I take care of your hair styling needs and sometimes a little extra. Presently I would like to offer hair cuts at half price for this month. I will also add a free styling afterward.

For those more interested in a little pampering, I do offer facial treatments which I can add for a little extra.

[He smiles a little brighter.]

Please do feel free to pay me a visit. I know some will want to look their best before going planetside, after all.

Maison de la Lune

[For those interested in taking him up on his offer, Biffy has his salon ready to go. The current prices are available on little cards at the front. They're simple in their design but that somehow makes them classier. Much like the salon you enter.

Biffy is there, of course, a smile on his lips as he offers a bow to the person entering.]

Good evening. I am Mr. Rabiffano. May I offer you a cup of tea?

[Well, not only did the idea of a salon catch Minako's attention, but... House of the Moon???? She was curious, okay?]

Where's the salon?

[Excuse the new girl. She was confused.]

[The front woman of Walküre makes sure that as much of her unusual hair is in the shot as is humanly possible as she addresses the hairstylist.]

Do you have a limit on how much hair one has for your offer? You won't suddenly charge me triple for a cut, will you?

[It's something she has to consider since her hair reaches the floor already.]

It is located on the Iskaulit.

[He provides more accurate directions with that.]

[Oh dear but that hair is beautiful. His eyes light up and...

He smiles.]

Not at all. In fact, if you allow me the chance to play with styling it a little then I will charge you even less as a thank you for allowing me the pleasure.

[Biffy laughs softly.]

My apologies. I am quite fond of being able to style women's hair and yours is exquisite. I would be honored to have the pleasure to style it.

Oh, thank you, Mr. Rabiffano.

[She considered that for a moment, though.]

Um... how do I get to the Iskaulit?

[His eyes widen.]

Oh my apologies! You must be new, Miss. May I ask what your augment is?

[It's always nice when a feature you love about yourself is appreciated by someone else. Besides, she knows her hair is gorgeous.]

That's the first time I've ever been given a discount because of my hair only.

[She smiles softly and shakes her hair out.]

Then who am I to deny you a once in a lifetime experience? What time is good for you?

[Tim will knock on the doorway of the Maison de la Lune and poke his head in]

Hello? Is anyone in?

You have my gratitude. I have a spot for this evening around eight. Will that be suitable?

[He's already smelled him coming and he steps over with a smile on his face.]

There is. Hence why I asked if you might like some tea.

Oh right, sorry um. Yes, please? I thought maybe you were talking to someone else?

[Tim is cowl and capeless today but he's still in the rest of his uniform. The armour is a comfort when he's not in his room on the Goldstone. The domino mask is still ever present though.]

I thought I might come for a haircut. I'm Robin, it's nice to meet you Mr Rabiffano.

Please. Have a seat.

[With the practice of a proper British gentleman, he turns so he can go to get the tea prepared. Because no, it is not made in advance. One could not properly keep it hot that way without over steeping. A crime against tea.]

Of course I would be happy to help you, Mr. Robin. However, I will have to ask...will the mask remain on? If it is a matter of privacy then I can lock up while you are here. Your secret will be safe with me.

[Tim hovers for a moment before coming forward to take a seat. If only he could hear Biffy's thoughts they might get rid of the nervousness by how much they would remind him of Alfred]

It's just Robin actually. It's a code name so there's no mister in front of it and um, yes the mask remains on. I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend but I don't... I just don't.

[Claiming it's to hide his identity after the events of Calibrations seems pointless and yet it like the uniform is like a safety blanket]

I hope it won't be a problem. It doesn't cover any hair.

We all have our little things to help us feel comfortable in strange times. You are hardly offending me with it.

[Coming over with the pot of tea that also has a little dish for sugar and another for cream, he sets these before Robin and pours a cup for him.]

Cream and sugar? I would offer lemon but I am afraid I must restock.

Thank you for understand and no, the tea should be fine as it is. I shouldn't have too much sugar and dairy anyway. Thank you very much.

May I ask how long you've been with the Fleet?

[Handing him the tea, he moves behind him to touch the strands of dark hair so he can better understand the texture while he talks.]

I have been here a little over a year now. What shall we be doing for you this evening? Any preference for the cut?

[Tim accepts the tea and automatically sits up straight at the touch to his blind side. A part of him automatically on alert by it]

That's a fair bit of time. How have you found your time here?

And I don't really know? It's just kinda grown long and I thought this would be a nice way to meet one more people on this fleet?

You can relax, Robin. The mirror before you shows you what I am doing. And it has been pleasant. My mate is here and we even had the chance to be married this Christmas.

[He studies the hair a little more then nods.]

So would you prefer simply a trim? Though I will hardly be upset as someone using my salon as a chance to meet me.

Sorry, I don't usually get touched so um... casually? I should have expected that.

Your mate? oh! I heard about your wedding, it was just after I had arrived. [The werewolf wedding, right, he should have remembered that.] Congratulations! How have you found being married?

Yes, perhaps just trimming it would be fine. I think cutting it at this point will just make everything think I'm twelve again.

[He waves for him to have more tea as he studies his hair some more to decide how much to take off.]

Much the same as when we weren't married. In truth, it was but a wish fulfillment. We were already bound together before that. Lyall was simply very kind in allowing me to have the opportunity to have this.

[Tim brings the tea up to blow on it and sip. He at least knows the proper way to hold a cup and saucer from Alfred. He smiles at the taste]

This is lovely. Thank you.

Was Lyall not fussed about having a ceremony? And what do you mean by bound together? Is there a supernatural element to that?

We are from a time when two men do not marry. He simply didn't take it into consideration and is not a romantic as I am. As to your other questions, we are mates but he is also my Beta. So we are tethered very strongly for these two reasons.

[It's been a while since Thor last spoke to Biffy - months, in fact. Given the conversation he'd had with Taako just recently however about the state of his hair, this seems like as good a time as any to finally look into this salon business.]

Can you do something to even-out hair? I'd prefer not to lose more of it, but it would be better if I could make it even.

[It doesn't take a lot of looking at Thor to know what he means, even over video. Someone did a real hack job on him last time.]

[His eyes widen in horror at the sight of his hair. But he recovers quickly to smile again.]

Of course. I can easily do something to help out with this matter.

That works just fine for me.

[She cuts the feed and heads to the shuttle bay. It's fine that it's super early. She's still going to do some more exploring around the Iskaulit. If nothing else, she'll get some good exercise in as she looks for a spot to start singing again.

At eight o'clock, she walks to the salon and stands in the door, crossing long legs and looking around.]

This is rather nice. Nothing like the other places on this ship.
