a guy's gotta make a living

[raith_wraith]

As much as Thomas would have preferred to be doing other things, like catching up on lost time with his mother, doing more work to gather more information, and so on...well, he still needed to make a living. There were appearances to be kept up, after all

It wasn't that Mab had given up on the prospect of Harry Dresden as her Winter Knight. But there was only so long Lloyd Slate could hold the title, fractured as he was, and still maintain the security over Winter's holdings that Mab wanted.

She was out shopping, as it were. And not for a new haircut.

Her appointment was under the name of Yvonne Frost, and she came in and took her seat with a smile. Her powers subsumed, her clothes normal for the mortal world... a rich and powerful woman of the mortal world, naturally. She didn't have the tempermant to do the beggar woman thing.

She was left waiting barely a moment before Thomas bustled over to her with a cheery French greeting. "Welcome, my lady, welcome," he proclaimed as he looked her over with a critical eye, trying to gauge ahead of time what sort of style might look best on her, "you are a new customer at my little salon, no? What, may I ask, brings you to Thomas," it really was pronounced almost like Toe-moss," here today?"

Well, one thing was for sure, she wouldn't have put him down as White Court at first glance with that utterly ridiculous act.

"You came highly recommended," she said, with an 'of course' sort of tone of amusement. "And I have an important business deal I'd like to close today."

Which means she must look her best. Of course.

That was, at least partly, the idea. He'd be pleased to know it succeeded.

He raised his eyebrows and made an ahh sound of understanding. "I see." With something of a flourish, he turned her in the chair to face the mirror and met her gaze in it, "then you are looking for a power coiffure, yes?"

Though something told Thomas this was a lady who didn't need a hairstyle to make herself feel powerful.
