[Heya! Have a tall dark haired woman entering the Salon...and not even bothering to glance at you. She's wearing a dark concealing cloak so you can't see her face, but from the way she turns to look out of the window with a irritated tut it's obvious she's only here to avoid getting soaked by another sudden torrential downpour]

[untilitburns]

[ While Spitfire's boss may have not been fond of all the people seeking refuge within the salon, Spitfire himself doesn't particularly mind. He's not at the entrance when she walks in, but after a few moments he appears, offering a towel and a smile. ]

Quite the weather, isn't it?

[ominous_sin]

[Blinks in surprise at his sudden appearance. She hadn't really been paying attention. After a slight hesitation, she thanks him and slips down the hood of her cloak to dry off the wet ends of hair]

It's...unpredictable.

[untilitburns]

[ He takes care to give her some space, she looks harried enough by the weather, leaning himself against the reception counter as he glances toward the windows. ]

I suppose it caught you by surprise then?

[ominous_sin]

That would be a way of putting it.

[untilitburns]

Well, at least you were lucky enough not to be swept away.

[ominous_sin]

[Grimances slightly and nods in agreement. Yeah, not very talkative this one]

[untilitburns]

[ Spitfire doesn't particularly have a problem with coaxing a conversation out of someone. ]

May I ask why you were out in this weather, or is that personal business?

[ominous_sin]

[A pause before she answers]

Just getting to know the city.

[Well, there's more to it than that. But that isn't for the public to know]

[untilitburns]

[ He doesn't pry into the why, most customers, if they don't tell you themselves first, aren't keen on being pressed to answer. ]

Do you feel better acquainted now?

[ominous_sin]

I'll take time to get used to it.

[Vague answers that are just not helpful? All the way]

[untilitburns]

Mmm, there is quite a large amount of free time here, it feels like.

[ominous_sin]

[Sighs and looks away] Too much the way it seems.
