Characters: Tahno and anyone
Setting: Third Floor. Men's bathroom, and then just outside of 03-08.
Format: Prose to start, but I'll match you!
Summary: Tahno is used to styling his own hair, but not cutting it. As it turns out, his ice bending seems to work pretty well. Maybe he could ~~practice on~~ help out some other people before he gets too adventurous on his own luscious locks...
Warnings: Probably swearing, but nothing other than that.

Men's Bathroom, third floor:

It wasn't like he'd been here forever. In fact it had only been... what, a few months? Still, a few months is a long time when it comes to an appearance like this. He took great pride in his looks, and right now, his hair wasn't up to par. He'd been able to style it properly up until a few weeks ago, when it started getting a bit too long. His signature curl that hung on the side of his face was getting too heavy and had begun to uncurl no matter how tightly he tried to style it. Besides that, the hair on the rest of his head was starting to look shaggy, and that was also pretty unacceptable.

So, he now stood in the men's bathroom, pressing his face a little too close to the mirrors behind the sinks. He didn't have any scissors, but he had his waterbending. If he could cut through the safety glass of a pro-bending mask, he was sure he could cut some hair. The only problem was cutting it properly. He held a thin line of water where he thought he wanted to cut his little side curl, hesitating about freezing it to do so...

Outside of 03-08:

Okay, so cutting his own hair had gone fairly well... mostly. It didn't look quite as good as it used to, but he figured he could fix it. Somehow. He just had to practice on someone else to see what worked and what didn't. Plus, some of the people here could use a proper haircut and styling.

He sat outside of his room on a stool with a big block of ice at his feet, along with a shorter stool for whoever was brave enough to let him touch their hair. Since he didn't have a bucket, a nice block of ice was the next best thing, right?

Now he just had to wait for someone to take him up on the offer...

"Free haircut?" he asked as anyone walked by.

Today wasn't the best of days for the usually chipper, energetic and affectionate trolless. In fact, she felt downright miserable which was pretty rare but happened every now and then.

She was pretty covered too, sporting loose leather pants and a hooded leather jacket as she strolled down the dormitory floors on her way down the floors to find something to do.

On one of the floors, she heard someone familiar and her ears twitched in recognition as she looked out of the hood and at the source of the voice. She took a moment to consider if she should bother him or not and decided she'd at least say hello.

"Oi, watah boy." she called out in a softer tone than usual. "'Aven't seen ya 'round for a while. 'Ow ya been mon?"

Tohko, after finishing her library duties, had wandered down the dorm hallways reading a copy of Good Omens.

However, sadly, she had gotten so lost in the book that she had wandered too far from her dorm and had wandered down to the third floor. However, the call of a familiar voice made her look up from her book..and sigh.

"I don't need a haircut. Why are you offering anyway? And why do you have a block of ice?"

He hadn't recognized her with her face in that book, but that piercing voice of hers was certainly reminder enough. He huffed, looked away for a moment and considered telling her to just go away.

But, hey, maybe he'd try warming up that silver tongue of his again and see if he could get her to let him cut her hair.

"I think everyone around here could use a haircut, honestly."

Well, not everyone. But most people.

"Ice is here for my waterbending, since I lack any scissors. Offering because I feel like it; is that a good enough reason?"

Yep. Silver tongue there.

He hadn't seen Xue in a while. Not since he'd first arrived, in fact. He remembered her pretty clearly in that skimpy swimsuit she'd had on at the time, and so it was a bit surprising to see her all covered up like this.

He didn't answer for a few seconds, trying to register who it was.

"Oh. Hey, Xue." He said, sitting up in his stool again. "I've been as good as you can be around here. You?"

*After getting out of the elevators, Enoch had slept soundly, deeply. It figured it would only take the need to relieve himself to wake him up, even if it was longer than a normal sleep schedule by a long shot.

On emerging from the stall, though...well, that was an interesting sight. What was he doing, leaning over towards the mirror like that?

Tahno may be distracted by the man in odd armor in the reflection behind him who has paused to try to make sense of what he's seeing. If not that, then...*

Ah...Are you all right?

"Yeah?" she asked a bit concerned before simply dropping it at the moment. "I been alrite mon. As ya be sayin', as good as ya can be 'round here."

She looked around, didn't seem like he had company so she decided to stay a bit.

"How ya been adjustin'?"

If that was a silver tongue, Tahno could really stand to read a few books. However, it wasn't the haircutting that caught Tohko's attention. She had never heard of 'waterbending' and could guess what it meant just by how the word was built..but she was still pretty curious.

"I suppose that is a good reason..but what is waterbending? It's something my universe doesn't have."
