[... Well.]

You know, I'm almost a little surprised that you didn't just pop out of nowhere and give me a heart attack.

[Aka hi Matthew, what a pleasant (or something) surprise, running into you like this—]

Comments

[aspiring]

So do I! Considering who they have to share their name with...

[redcloakedthief]

[Pffhaha!]

Considering the unwarranted prejudice the only competent hairdresser in this place has against the name!

[aspiring]

[... Did he just compliment him—]

What can I say? I have an inexplicable wariness when it comes to people named Matthew.

[redcloakedthief]

[yes. don't comment on it.]

I can't imagine why. It's a perfectly good name. I'd even venture to say it's rather average.

[aspiring]

Then it's too bad that not that everyone with that name is so average.

[redcloakedthief]

[...headtilt.]

Was that a compliment I heard in there?

[GRIN]

[aspiring]

[...]

That depends. Was that a compliment I heard earlier?

[redcloakedthief]

That depends! Do you think it was a compliment?

[aspiring]

Well, you called me a competent hairdresser, so I'll take that part as one, at least.

[redcloakedthief]

Then I'm going to consider yours a compliment as well.

In which case--

Thank you, Billy!

[aspiring]

[aslkdjalsjdasdas his face is not his face is not red—]

A-Anyway—geez! What kind of haircut do you want?

[redcloakedthief]

[...Billy is so cute.

Though that gets the total sum of a blank stare from Matthew.]

...Don't you just...cut it shorter or something.

[kinds???]

[aspiring]

[shush you.

... He just stares blankly back.]

... I'm guessing that means you just want a trim. Fine, be boring like that.

[redcloakedthief]

[...um]

I'm not particularly known for living life on the edge. [liar]

But what would you suggest, then? [smirk]

[aspiring]

I get the feeling that you'd make fun of me no matter what I said.

[redcloakedthief]

I'm honestly curious here! Trust me.

I don't know anything about this sort of thing!

[aspiring]

[... Well then.

STARING AT YOU MATTHEW because hey you asked.]

Well, if we're to keep your... occupation in mind, then I'm guessing you wouldn't want something that could potentially get in your eyes all the time, so bangs are probably out...

[redcloakedthief]

[...Heh. He nods at that, clearly interested.]

True enough! Am I making your job difficult?

[aspiring]

I can't say I normally cut the hair of thieves. Or spies. At least, none that I know of.

Or people I personally know, for that matter.

[redcloakedthief]

They wouldn't be a very successful spy if you knew of it.

[Cheeky grin--

And then he blinks.]

...Really? Why not?

[aspiring]

So I figured.

[He blinks back.]

Is that unusual?

[redcloakedthief]

...I don't know. Is it?

[Blink.]

Why wouldn't you cut their hair?

[aspiring]

[...]

It's less that I'd refuse to cut it as so much that I don't get many requests.

[gosh matthew you just made him admit that he's a friendless loser]

[redcloakedthief]

[...a-awww.]

I think you should let more people know of your talents here, then.

[grin.]

[aspiring]
