Really? What did it look like?

[ Yuri is so curious. Shu with a different hairstyle?? Huh???

Anyway, she leads him to the manicure counter so that he can sit on the stool. ]

What colors should I pick?

[roseoftexas]

Pigtails.

She also wanted to see if I actually smile sometimes.

[ which he does, just. y'know. my icons don't reflect that. he'll let her drag him over to the manicure counter and get him sat down because-- he's really not that fussed about having his nails done, so if she's wanting to do manicures then so be it. ]

... Blue? [ me looking up manicures and finding this. ] People usually associate blue with me.

[applebough]

[ Beautiful. Yuri will take respective colors and tools for that and finally seat herself on the opposite stool so that she can get started. Time to do the manicure process... ]

Blue would look nice, but why are you usually associated with it? Is it because of how calm you usually are?

[roseoftexas]

[ he just flicks the end of his hair. because this is bustafellows, all the guys have a tone of colour at the edge of their hair. it's just less obvious with shu, but it's kinda grey/blue. ]

[applebough]

[ The spa's lighting really shows the blue tints well, so when Shu points it out, Yuri sees it clearly. ]

Oh.

[ That's such a simple reason than expected. ]

Do you want a blue streak in your hair? I think that would look interesting.

[roseoftexas]

[ the mods are reminding us that it's Too Hot on this ship today so i need to go and find him a cool summer fit to go with the blue tints in his hair. ]

... Could do. This stuff's a wash out dye, isn't it?

[applebough]

[ Yeah, Yuri is wearing a gray t-shirt and regular pants. I forgot to include this earlier, but she's also wearing the heattech poncho. She's making use of her purchase already. ]

Yes. I'm not sure if there's a permanent version, so if you really don't mind it, we'll have to read the labels carefully.

[ Yuri seems pretty decent at giving Shu a manicure. She's done filing, cleaning, etc and now it's time to apply the colors. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ oh right the heattech. shu has one of those too, assigns him wearing it. ]

It'll say wash in wash out, or temporary -- I think those would be better than semi-permanent or permanent.

[ he'll keep his hand steady for her. also he has a handlebar moustache now.


it's fine. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri is looking down, concentrating on applying the coats and colors. When it's time for a quick UV dry session, she gets out the machine and finally looks up at Shu— ]

... A mustache?

[roseoftexas]

[ blinks. ]

A what? [ HE CAN'T MOVE HIS HANDS TO TOUCH HIS FACE AAA. ]

[applebough]

Wait a moment, please...

[ She tries to stay calm while drying each of Shu's fingers. Good thing they're all painted and basically done. There. Now she's done. ]

... Is your hair weighing down your left side of the mustache...?

[roseoftexas]

[ uhhhh. he's not sure if he can move his hands. ]

I... don't think so? I wasn't even aware I had one.

[ help. his majestic facial hair. ]

[applebough]

[ She sees Shu not moving his hands, so Yuri will just gently touch one of the fingernails that she painted and shows Shu. Completely dry! ]

You can move your fingers now. I think it just popped up out of nowhere... I guess someone cursed you with a giant mustache.

[roseoftexas]

[ oh. hey.

impressive. ]

...

Could be worse, I guess. I could be a random animal.

[applebough]

[ Yuri would suggest to try and cut it off, but she's not well-versed in shaving mustaches and doesn't want to accidentally hurt Shu. ]

I think a puppy would be cute.

[ Thinks back on his wolf ears fondly... ]

[roseoftexas]

[ imagine they shave it and it just immediately grows back but more majestic. i guess he just has this facial hair now. ]

A puppy. [ hmmmm. ]

I'm kinda hoping I avoid the animal curse entirely.

[applebough]

Because then you might do something that you don't want to be remembered by?

[ Kisses? Not on her mind for some reason. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ (meme voice) would she kiss him if he was a cursed puppy ]

I think I like having two legs and two arms over all the alternatives.

[applebough]

[ She would give him cute kisses on the nose and head. ]

A koala also has two legs and arms...

[roseoftexas]

[ acceptable and understandable. ]

...

Human two legs and arms.

[applebough]

[ Yuri giggles a little. ]

... I would still like you either way.

[ She feels a bit shy after admitting that, so she just finishes that off with some lighthearted laughter. ]

[roseoftexas]

I imagine I'd be more universally cute with koala ears.

[ missed opportunities.

he'll make a c'mere motion with his hand. ]

You want yours doing too? I've never painted nails before, but I've got pretty steady hands.

[applebough]

[ He would though. ]

Oh, um... yes.

[ Yuri gets up and returns with more colors. ]

Do you think you can do what I did on yours? Except with these colors.

[ They're similar to her hair color. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ rewind to random animal features week.



he leans forward in his chair to look at the colours, and his own nails. ] ... The gradient's done with a sponge? I can give it a try.

[ he's not promising perfection. ]

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods. She's not expecting perfection either, but she thinks it would be nice to match... ]

... If you need help, let me know.
