 Vega sniffled as he messed with his long hair. That stupid naiad! The freshling had said he knew how to braid, and so Vega was going to let him braid his hair... and it just ended up in knots, and was this... paint?! The little kirin was even more distraught when he found yellow paint smeared in his hair. He was never going to let Meadow touch his hair again! He was going to need some serious help getting the knots out, and he really hoped the paint would wash out. The little boy sniffled and wiped his nose on his sleeve. Maybe he could find his sister or Harley to help? He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he wasn't totally paying attention to where he was walking.

 Frey sighed and looked down on the pamphlet. He had somehow been roped into talking to one of the astronomy club members since they had been too sick to attend the last meeting about some star gazing party his club had gotten permission for. Sometimes Frey actually wondered who in the hell the actual president was, but he supposed if it made them happy and he didn’t get bothered they could have free reign. Only problem was they were bothering him… and the sniffling kid wasn’t in the dorm room to begin with. Now he was over in Arkham standing there looking like a crazy person considering he was still wearing his hair salon outfit and had scissors and various other items sticking out of his shirt pocket… not to mention the whole black apron thingy. Since he was busy storming his way back to his dorm room he totally somehow was not paying attention to the equally not paying attention little freshling.

Vega very nearly ran into someone standing in the hall. He stopped short, when he blinked and saw a black mass in front of him with a pair of legs. He slowly looked up to see a fair-haired older person. Was he a student? Vega's blue eyes widened as he looked at the other, then hiccuped as he swallowed his upset feelings. Vega opened his mouth to say something, then closed it and started fussing with the ends of his hair before remembering how much of a mess they were, and burst into tears. He probably looked like a total mess, and here he was in front of a stranger looking like this.

What… why was the hell was it bawling at him? He hadn’t done anything yet and he wasn’t wearing too scary of a face. Okay so maybe he was a bit pissed off at the surrounding circumstances but seriously…. They hadn’t run into each other, he hadn’t said anything mean or glared. Maybe it was because Frey was rather ridiculously tall? However it wasn’t like he was the tallest person on campus he was only on the tall side for Litches. When they fussed with their hair and Frey saw the sight of it he sighed and kneeled down so he was more their level. “Having a bad hair day? It’s no reason to cry.” Frey started. It was about then he noticed a caretaker some ways down the hallway. “If you want I can even fix it for you”

Vega didn't realize his upset would have caused the other any sort of problem, so he was surprised when the taller boy knelt down. He blinked and wiped his eyes. "Y... Yeah. You could" He sniffled "...you could say that. My classmate was gonna do my hair." He looked down at his hooves. "You think you can save my hair?" He couldn't imagine what he would do if he had to cut his hair off! It was his pride and joy! "I would like it..." He sniffled again. "...If you could do something for my poor hair." He hadn't noticed the care taker until the other boy seemed to look away, and Vega turned to look. He waved to assure them that everything was ok. He looked back at the litch. "Who are you?"

Ah classmate would mean freshling and relatively young freshling. He could just imagine what ‘my class mate was going to do my hair' meant. Well actually he didn’t really have to imagine much considering he assumed the handy work was in front of him. Frey absent mindedly reached out to touch the freshling’s hair and stopped. He hadn’t really dealt with Kirins too much but he did remember the rule about their hair. Ah well he’d have to touch it later to fix it but…
“Yeah I can save it. I’m not just wearing this outfit for…” Frey trailed off. Was the freshling in front of him old enough to even recognize a hair salon uniform? “Anyways I can save it. Let me go tell the caretaker I’m taking you to my dorm room for a while. It’s not like I can fix your hair out here. I’m Frey by the way.”

Vega listened to the boy as he spoke. What kind of outfit was this? He looked over the other boy. Hm. He had a lot of curious instruments in his pockets. He recognized combs and scissors though. "Please don't cut my hair if you don't have to..." he mumbled softly as Frey stood to tell the care taker what they were going to do. "...Frey is a nice name. I'm Vega. You look like you take good care of your hair and skin." That is, he was a good looking young man, and Vega approved. He wasn't completely up to kirin standards, but for a geist, he looked like he took good care of himself. It was a shame his hair was so short. He reached up to take Frey's hand without thinking. "Do you always carry scissors and combs with you?"

“Mmm I wasn’t planning on cutting your hair. It just looks like it needs a good brushing, some tooth paste and a washing. It could possibly use a trim soon, but I would suggest doing that when you are more recovered from your… hair playdate” Frey replied in an almost unemotional tone before walking off to tell the caretaker what had vaguely happened and what Frey had planned. Once he got permission he started herding them to his dorm. Luckily the dorm for eldritch juniors was in the building over give or take. “Ah thanks. I can’t really take credit for it though the caretaker that I had growing up had a thing about the weather” He commented, wanting to almost raise an eyebrow when Vega mentioned skin, but he supposed considering other Litches out there he had walked away with pretty nice skin. It could have been worse. “Well I’m a hair stylist… or well an apprentice one. Its bad advertising if I can’t take care of my hair. As for the scissors question, No I don’t typically, I just got off work and needed to do a fast errand. Thanks for the compliment however”Frey had in fact noticed the hand slipping into his, but he didn’t have a problem with people getting into his personal space when he had invited them along. Plus it would make sure that he didn’t lose Vega. Luckily the trip over didn’t take too much time and even better was that Frey’s roommate Horus wasn’t in either. “Okay rules of the room. I do have familiars so don’t go near the bed Gise will attack your foot.” Frey stated. He didn’t mention tip or Fringe. Considering Fringe was sleeping upside down from his window curtains and tip was… a wisp and thus no problem. “Since I have to wash your hair let’s get you into the bathroom where I have a sink. I'll grab a chair and some pillows for you to sit on.”

"Oh good!" Vega let out a sigh of relief when Frey said he wasn't going to cut his hair. That was a load off his mind. He followed Frey, looking around curiously. He hadn't been in a junior's dorm before. "Oh! A stylist? That's super cool!" He liked this guy already. "It does show that you take care of your hair. It's a shame that it's so short. I bet there are a few kirins who would love to know what you use to make it look that pretty." He gave a happy hum as they entered his room. "You have familiars? Me too! I have three! A salamander, a nezubat and- ... this is probably unimportant." He clamped his mouth shut. He felt at ease with this guy, knowing that he was a stylist. "Do you think the paint will come out easily? And the knots? He really did a lot to my hair. I thought he was better then this." He sighed and followed him to the bathroom. "So are you gonna work in a salon? OH! I bet you'll get a lot of kirin coming to you, specially when we take personal care days!" He looked at the bathroom, making sure it looked clean. "Do you clean the sink yourself?" He looked at it curiously before deciding it was good enough. It was already better then his hair was. "...And thank you for doing this. Um... I don't have a lot of money, but I'll try and repay you for this!"

“My hair actually grows pretty fast. I cut it during the summer months because Litches aren’t made for hot weather and I run around a lot in the salon.” Frey replied feeling the need to defend his hair length for some odd reason, but the truth of it was short hair kind of did bother him and Ash did like it when he wore it longer. “Its fine if you want to talk about your familiars. I obviously have a Wisp, a nezubat and the one you can’t see because he’s under the bed is… well he’s a revenant.” Frey admitted as he grabbed the pillows and one of his higher up chairs. There Vega should be tall enough now to be able to sit and for Frey to get his hair under the faucet. “He actually has a kind of starry pattern like your ears”
“Paint if you know how to get it out is rather easy. The knots are even easier. Don’t worry we’ll fix your hair no problem” Frey stated looking at the paint again. He would guess it was acrylic which was easier to get out than oil pants. He definitely knew the art teacher wasn’t going to be giving freshlings Oil paint, especially since it could be toxic…
“Well I work at a salon right now, but I guess in the future I want to open up my own. I would guess a good chunk of clients would be Kirin, although you’d be surprised how many of the more fur based races we get in the summer months.” Frey relied. Ash, his partner he was currently dating was great on learning how to take care of that.
“Yes the sink is clean, makes no sense to work in a dirty sink and my roommate is an Elf. Everything has to be clean and perfect. The design of the sink was just poorly picked out but blame the school contractors there.” Frey mused setting up the pillows and pushing the chair right up to the edge of the basin. “Okay Vega hop up there and I’ll get to fixing everything. As for money… well don’t worry about. It’s a freebie.” Like hell he was going to take money from what was a crying freshling.

He smiled. "Ooooh, that makes sense I guess. I know that not everyone values their hair like my kin and I do." He laughed, hopping up into the chair when it was brought over. "And if it gets hot, and you don't want to put it up all the time, then that's ok. Different styles for different people." He hummed, his tail flopping into his lap and he tried to keep from swinging his feet and accidentally kicking his new friend. "You have a revenant? Aren't those... um... hard to get?" His understanding was that they were more or less illegal because of necromancing and things he didn't fully grasp. "It's a shame he's hiding. I'd like to meet him." Oh well. Not every familiar was as friendly as his salamander. "I've got a kidden that likes to run around with me. Her name is Bellatrix. Actually, her soft colors are kinda like you." He smiled brightly as he leaned his head back towards the sink. Having his hair done was like second nature to him. My Nezubat is Riji, and he's pretty calm for a bat. He doesn't play with me as much as Bellatrix, but that's ok. He's always watching out for me. And then my salamander, Perceus, just lives for snuggles. I like having him in my lap when I'm doing homework." He closed his eyes. "You're gonna open your own salon? Woooow that's so cool!" his legs swung a little in excitement, and he had to will himself to stop. "I guess some of the fluffy races would need to go see you. Grimms have such fluffy tails! Imps too! They look like they'd be good for snugging into when it gets cold." He giggled. "But you know what? I haven't actually met an elf yet! At least not really. I know there are some in my classes, but I haven't talked to them yet." "Hey hey, when you have your own salon, I'm gonna have my models go to you to get their hair done." Yup, it was decided. Vega would go to Frey for all his hair needs, when he couldn't do it himself.

“Well my significant other at the moment is really good at jewelry and the like. Maybe I’ll ask them to make me a clip for the summer months, because I really prefer longer hair.” Frey commented in agreement and then had to hide a smile. Of all the kids he worked with, it seemed an unconditional response to start swinging your feet when they dangled a little bit. “Normally it’s pretty hard, as you aren’t supposed to make them, necromancy and all. However I ended up going to Borealis one of my junior summer vacations and the little guy was just sitting around there all abandoned.” Frey stated pulling out an eye friendly shampoo. He obviously didn’t keep kid friendly shampoos in his dorm room but he wasn’t about to run all the way back to the salon to ask the old lady to allow him to pick it up. He also pulled out a tube of toothpaste since the paint had dried a good deal. “I guess I can try to coax him out from under the bed if you really want to meet him. He should be fine if he stays in my arms the whole time.” Frey turned the faucet on and gently leaned Vega’s head back to get his hair wet. When it was damp enough he start massaging his fingertips into the painted areas to start losing it up. He reached over to uncap the toothpaste adding a small amount to his fingers to work into the hair. “Yeah that’s been the plan for a while. I’ve always had a knack for doing hair so it just made sense to make it into a career and since I never do well with other people being my boss well that just meant I have to work on getting my own salon.” Frey replied moving out of the way as vega seemed to succumb to the leg swinging. “and they are really nice to be around in the winter I guess. Litches can handle really cold weather and it doesn’t get cold enough here for me to feel too cold? It’s fun to make blankets or sweaters out of the fur though because they’re really soft and fluffy. Well prepare yourself for when you do meet an elf. They can have a really big superiority complex, although some of the students have gotten better since coming here.”Frey paused in adding the shampoo to Vega’s hair, the eye-friendly one that also worked as a detangler too, and looked down at Vega’s face. “Ah thank you. I’ll look forward to your future patronage then” he smiled. "Hmm while we wait for the shampoo to sit for a while, do you want me to try to wrangle gise out?"

He absently started humming as Frey began working the soap into his hair. He might have freaked out a little if he'd seen the toothpaste, and would have questioned just how good Frey was. But since he didn't see it, he didn't comment on it. "Hey yeah, if you grow your hair long, you can do all sorts of cute up-dos with it. I bet your friend-" he wasn't comfortable calling them a lover or something similar. "will be glad to make you one!" It was always nice to hear someone was good at doing things they liked. That is, assuming that Frey's 'friend' liked making jewelry. But he sort of suspected maybe they did. "I'm gonna be my own boss too." He stated proudly. "Some day I'm gonna make all the prettiest clothes and everyone will want me to make them something. And it's all going to be comfortable and awesome!" He cheered a little excitedly, and wiggled a bit in the chair. "Hmmm. Making fur clothes out of the shed fur from imps and grimm sounds hard, but kind of cool. You'd never get the same color twice unless you dyed it." Then he grinned when Frey talked about elves. "I bet an elf wouldn't want to wear the fur of their friends." Though he was actually quite curious to meet an elf. He wanted to meet everyone. "You know, I think it's really sad that revenants are made from ... you know... dead things. I saw one, and it was really cute. But I can't believe someone would just abandon one. The poor little one." His ear twitched as some water rolled down the red fur. "Hmmm... If you don't think... that it would bother him too much, I would like to meet Gise. You did say it was a he, right?" Vega wouldn't want to offend the familiar, after all.

“I would say that would probably be accurate. I have a small collection going from all the different trinkets and jewelry that Ash makes me” Frey mused. In fact he often wore at least one piece. When he was working he wore one of the bracelets as a good luck charm. Ash was even looking into ways to actually weave in a good luck charm or other enchantments into the jewelry or at least Frey remembered Ash saying something to that effect.
“Being your own boss is the way to go especially when you are in a creative field. No one to try to dampen your ideal or if they do you have the final say over it most of the time” Frey agreed. He was glad that Vega seemed to be really passionate in what he wanted to do when he grew up. Frey had been good at hair for as long as he remembered but he had also struggled in his early junior years. He had been directionless and angry. Ah well he had turned himself around. It was useless to reflect any more on it. “Well it’s hard to say with Elves. They’re all prideful in some way but they also want the best so they might go for it if the sweater/blanket is really well made. I only really know Horus elf wise and he really fails at being an elf most of the time.” Frey mused. “I’ll ask him though if we both have a day off together soon and are here for more than just falling asleep.”
Frey nodded agreeing with the fact that revenants really did have it hard and turned off the water. “yeah Gise is a he, and it shouldn’t bother him too much. He definitely won’t come out if he gets too bothered,” and with that Frey walked out of the room to wrestle with his revenant. Luckily it wasn’t too hard to wrangle the creature out although Frey supposed it was because he hadn’t been around too often lately and Gise wanted affection. Of course Gise also didn’t know Frey was about to subject him to a freshling. Vega was pretty well behaved for a 6… no 7 year old or how ever old Vega was. He walked back into the bathroom and winced as Gise squirmed a little bit and then hid its head in the crook of Frey’s arm. He’s a bit shy, but this is Gise”

"Well, you better wear your friend's work well, cause I couldn't wear them I can't wear a rival dee-sign-er's work." He had a little trouble with the word. "But if he makes accessories... and I make clothes... Hmmm... When I'm famous we can be partners!" Yup. Fool proof business plan right there. "I hope you and your friend can do everything you want." He smiled happily. "Cause I'm gonna do what I love, and no one's gonna stop me!" Maybe it was because he was so young that he was so idealistic. Actually, there was no maybe about it. The real world hadn't hit him yet. "Wait... How does someone fail at being..." He trailed off when Frey left to get his familiar, and came back with an adorable revenant. Vega gasped and covered his mouth. "My sister, Lyra, has the same colors as Gise. She's got black and purple hair and her ears are purple and sparkly." He smiled looking at the mysterious creature. He really REALLY wanted to pet it, and rather then reach for the clearly shy creature, promptly sat on his hands. "Hello Gise. It's nice to meet you. I'm Vega."
