Theodoric's of York, Late Morning

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"So I called earlier this morning and made an appointment for you," Isabel said over her shoulder as she entered the salon. "Maurice is waiting. He promised you'll still be mostly shaggy when you're done."

"Is there anything I'm supposed to do while he's cutting my hair?" Cedric asked and he might be a little nervous.

"Hold still mostly," Isabel said as Maurice bustled up and started to lead them back to a chair. "If you twitch you could lose an ear."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Lose an-" He threw her another look of nervousness but let himself be led to a chair and prepred for a haircut.

He looked up at Maurice and said, "Not a lot, please. Just to keep it from getting in my way constantly."

"Oui monsieur," Maurice agreed. "I believe the mademoiselle said less sheepdogish. And I have never even nicked a client's ear. The mademoiselle teases you, I believe."

Laughing and trying to look innocent, Isabel pulled over a chair. "Who? Me?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"There is a first time for everything," Cedric mumbled and shot a glance towards Maurice. "You actually told them to make me look less like a sheepdog?"

Of course, he's laughing when after that statement leaves his mouth.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe?" she said sheepishly. "But it's a good description!"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I feel like I should paint whiskers on my face," he quipped and tried not to jump when Maurice bent him backwards to start the shampoo on his hair.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Nonsense, maybe a little bow in your hair instead? To hold it out of your eyes?" Isabel leaned over and sniffed the shampoo. "Oh, that smells yummy!"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Yummy as in food?" Cedric asked worriedly, looking up at Maurice. "Like a cookie?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well it definitely makes you smell edible," Isabel nodded. "But I don't think I'll be the one doing the nibbling. Nope, not going there." Busy with the shampoo, Maurice smirked beneath his mustache.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I don't think anyone's ever chewed on my hair," he said thoughtfully. "The dragon tried but that wasn't out of pleasure or anything."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel facepalmed. "Not nibble on your hair you dork!" she managed to get out through giggles. "And if I have to explain in any more detail...forget it, there has to be a For Dummies book that would explain things."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Explain what?" Yes, he can be dense sometimes. He's about to say more when Maurice tugs his hair, not too gently, and he winces.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Still giggling, Isabel shook her head. "Ask Jack, that's all I can say."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

That makes it a little more clear and Cedric makes a face of understanding before Maurice drops a towel on his head to dry his hair.

"Are we done then?" Cedric asks even though he knows they aren't.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Have you lost any hair?" she asked. "If you leave now we might really need that bow."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"As long as the bow's not ping," Cedric said and let himself be led over to another chair. "Also, I hope not to lose any hair until I'm very old."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"If necessary I'm sure we can find one in a lovely shade of red. Or perhaps green." Isabel followed along and found an out of the way spot to lean. "Is there a history of baldness in your family? If there isn't then you shouldn't worry, you'll just grow grey and distinguished."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I...never paid that much attention," he said, trying to remember if his father or even his mother had been bald. "Not a lot," Cedric reiterated to Maurice who merely nodded.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm voting for grey and distinguished then," Isabel smiled. "You'll be beating admirers off with a stick when you're seventy." She kept an eagle on on Maurice, ready to jump in if it looked like he was cutting too much.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Do people normally become very attracted to men in their seventies?" Cedric asked. "Beatings are necessary?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Some do," she nodded. "But you'll be kind and merciful and let them down easily." Isabel smiled as she watched Maurcie work. "But I wouldn't worry about then. It might be an issue now."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I'm hardly beating people away," he said and winced when he heard Maurice start snipping. "Oh, my dear hair."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Come on, I'm trying for sweet talk and flattery here," Isabel said, exasperated. "Work with me. And do you need hand holding?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I know you are," he said, grinning beneath his hair. "I'm being difficult on purpose."
