38the of Winter,513

Its been two belles and a few chimes since Orabelle has been in RDF. There was barely anytime to talk to Rosela, the beautiful ephyrian herself was very busy. A lot more busy than Orabelle. After women bought and tried on their dresses they would head towards Orabelle's half of the shop, taking a seat in the makeup area. While some let her do whatever she thought was right, others picked their own colors and style. She didn't mind, they were paying not her, but some began to look ridiculous.

Orabelle could only believe that was bad business. She was one of the few cosmetologist and she didn't want her reputation as a bad one. Making people happy is always a priority of the svefran, but were clown faces worth it?

The customers Orabelle was currently working on was a beautiful blonde. Long, stylish hair, that seem to go from a dark blonde to a light, almost sun-colored blonde. Her eyes were a pale green and her thin lips were a pale pink. She had told Orabelle exactly what she wanted and it didn't sound so bad. She wanted her hair to be spiral braided around her head, and her brows plucked until they were perfectly thin.

She began on the braid. She took a brush and than began gentle brushing her hair out. The more she brushed it out, the longer it had gotten. Like magic, her hair had went from her mid-back to the lining of her hips. The woman began to blush, embarrassed at the fact that her hair was almost too long to manage."Sorry." She mumbled before wincing at the small knot Orabelle pulled out.

"It's okay." Ora laughed quietly."This is what I'm here for." She examined the head, scanning the way it parted and fell, then quickly she took out a comb and began parting half of the left side. After parting the blonde hair she proportionally separated it into three parts that she made sure were the same size. Her hands began to intertwine the hair into what looking like a rope. The tighter she pulled without hurting the woman's head, the more firm it was in her hair. The braid began to look like it had been stitched into the side of her head.


Orabelle had to constantly intertwine new lengths of the girls hair. There was enough of her hair to do two different braids and stack them on top of one another like neat sheets. But Orabelle felt it be easier to stick to one braid for now. The back of the woman's head seem to have perfectly looping going up her head. The one braid started from the left, making it's way to the right before making a turn back left. This pattern was repeated several times before the medium-sized braids were fully stacked on top of each other Behind the woman's head. When Orabelle got done with the braiding she helped the woman up so that she could walk towards the mirror and take a quick look at her braid. She was instantly happy with the results."It looks almost like the endrykas style braid. I really like it." She told Orabelle with a quick smile.

They returned to the seat she was currently sitting at and Orabelle went through a few kits before she could find what looked like a piece of bent metal with the tips looking like they were going to touch."Now I must warn you, plucking is no walk through the park. I promise I will go easy but please do keep in mind that there will be some pain." The woman tilted her head back so, just so Orabelle could get a good look. Her eyebrows were full, and were just a bit thick. The Svefran began slowly plucking the hairs in one eyebrow. Slowly she would place it above the hair it would grab, than she would quickly grab it and yank it out. The pain wasn't bad but the woman still winced. She winced and winced until she knew was was coming. Plucking never took too long, after making them noticeably thin, Orabelle smoothed the eyebrow out, that way she could see if she made any mistakes."Your good." Orabelle nodded with a smile.

"So she really stuck her fingers in the whale's hole?" Orabelle cackled as she applied the facial to the svefran woman's face. It was nice to finally run into one of your own kind. Today she's spent a great amount of her time quiet, not really finding a customers she could really hold a conversation with. Just ten chimes ago, Cydda had walked in, her Laviku mark was bold on her strong arm, and her shocking blue eyes indicated who she really was. Cydda was from a small pod who just lived on the docks of cities. She had bought her own casinor and sailed the sea herself now.

"Yes! My kid-sister just annoyed our flock of whales. They hated her!" Cydda laughed but not too much. The mask on her face had began to harden, pulling at her skin, and she could feel it too.

"That's just crazy, I have to say that I miss the sea here and there." Orabelle shook her head and sighed as she sat by Cydda on a nearby chair. It was nice that she could focus on Cydda. Customers had still been pouring, debating if it was the right time to get their make up done. The women took small glances Orabelle's way but remained in the clothing section of the store.

"I know the feeling. But you have years to return to the sea and your pod. But you don't have a lot of time to explore the places around you." Cydda switched to Fratava, it was a lot easier to talk in the language since there wasn't too much jaw movement at all."What brings you here though?" Cydda remained speaking fratava.

"An opportunity like this." Orabelle raised the both of her hands." Riverfall attracts a lot of women. Business here would be perfect. I'm glad I met Rosela because if I started a business of my own, I wouldn't be able to hold it down." She shook her head.

"You're telling me you didn't come for the gorgeous blue, green and other colored men?" Cydda wanted to smirk but her face restrained her from doing it.

"Well... they praise Laviku?" Orabelle began laughing again." Okay, okay, I find myself attracted to the Akalak race. Besides, I want a child, preferably a boy. But I'm afraid I'm cursed." She whispered.

"Cursed!"

"No, no, not really. It's just my mothers side has given me a strong possibility of having a girl with whom ever. Her family is known for birthing females, wives to ephyrian men. Not once in my mothers line have there been a boy, and I would love to have the first in this very long history of girls." Orabelle checked the time. It didn't feel like it but twenty chimes have passed by. She ran to the water basin and took out a bowl with warm water. She cupped a hand of water and splashed some of it on Cydda's face. Orabelle made sure she place the bowl under her chin that way the water would drip back in. She did it a few more times before taking a dry towel and padding her face with it.

"My face feels so fresh, do you have that on sale?" Cydda asked.

"Yup, and for two gold mizas, you can get eight ounces of it." Orabelle walked into the philtering room where she grabbed some and exchanged it with Cydda for the mizas."Don't hesitate to come back!"

"So you want your hair dyed?" Orabelle studied the bouncy teenager who walked in. Short bleach blonde hair, a pixie face and she had a small almost crooked body. She smiled the whole time, nodding at almost everything Orabelle said. It was beginning to become very busy in her area and she felt there was no time to waste. She just applied two face mask, and curlers to a woman's hair. She was counting chimes in her head for each mask, and the curlers."May I ask what color you want?" Orabelle was beginning to talk slow, cautious around the young girl.

The teenager pulled out a handful of mizas and smiled bigger as she watched Orabelle count them."I want my hair pink!" She laughed.



After washing off a few mask and taking out curlers, Orabelle took the teenager to the water basin and started washing her hair. Scrubbing in circular motions until Orabelle felt all the oils in her hair was out. She dried her hair and began brushing it out. She took out what looks like a light red, setting that aside, Orabelle draped a cloth over her shoulder and applied gloves on. Orabelle reached into a small bag in a makeup and pulled out a small container of lip pomade."Okay, this may sound off but I'll need to apply this to your ears and the lining of your forehead and neck." She took her index finger and stuck it in the lip pomade before shaping out her forehead and ears.

"Hey! I want pink." The furious teenager yelled.

Orabelle cocked her head to the side, her mouth opened ready to give the idiotic child what she needed to hear.Customer! She told herself." Sweetie, I know. But your hair is really light, this red will make it a pink." She gritted her teeth. This spoiled her day...

There was smug look on her face when the young girl left. She was a real pain, trying to correcting Orabelle as if she had no idea what she was doing."You have a nice day." Orabelle plastered a smiled on her face as she waved. Man, was she boiling inside. She took a moment to calm down and attend to her customers. A few more pluckings and facials. Today the facials seemed popular, and she couldn't recall why. People were buying supplies of it or just asking Orabelle to apply it for them. The patient and polite customers she currently had made her forget about the obnoxious teenager. She shouldn't let one bad person effect her day anyway, one bad seed doesn't spoil them all.

"Hello." A seductive voice called. Orabelle turned towards the entrance to see a tall, brunette woman. She wore a dress that seemed to be very popular at Red Diamond Fashions."I am a usual customer here." She paused until she was a short distance from Orabelle."But I've never seen this section?" The woman raised a brow at Orabelle.

"Yes, it's new. An extension to this building." Orabelle assured her with kindness. The woman nodded before circulating around the place, checking things out.

"What kind of service do you offer?" The woman stopped in front of the mirror, checking herself out. She did a little spin, smiling at her appearance.

"Uh, Herbal facials, Manicures, Pedicures, Makeovers-"

"Stop." The woman smiled at Orabelle through the mirror."Let me get a makeover. I don't intentionally need one but hey, there's always time to try something new?" She twirled around, taking a few steps towards her again.

"You're right." Orabelle told her. The woman was arrogant and seemed a little self-absorbed. But for some reason, she liked her and couldn't wait to work with her."Just let me take care of a few other customers."


Rachel was her name and Orabelle found herself liking her even more. She was truthful, and very open. As Orabelle took curlers and began carefully rolling them up, her finger tips gently pressing down on the roller to keep the hair from falling out if place, Rachel and Orabelle talked some more." I was once a nakivak. Worse experience of my life. They save you from a zith's buffet and you owe them a life debt." She snarled and rolled her eyes.


"Oh really, did you get a talvis?" Orabelle asked as she took out some pins and pinned them around the different curls. She tried to focus on what she was saying but zoned out every,once and awhile.

"I got the sexiest Talvis ever!" Rachel fist pumped, a hint of laughter played into the scene she was making." A principle commander who just spoils me. Before I became pregnant he bought be a,slave which waited on me, hand and feet. When I became pregnant, he bought me gifts. When I had the child, we fell in love, he freed me from my debt and continues to give me what I want." Rachel cackled.

"Wait you successfully birthed an akalak child?" Orabelle manage to keep a surprised look on her face when she walked away to get a cap and makeup kit. Orabelle put the cap on her head first to prevent anything from happening to the soon-to be curls. She sat the makeup down on the counter.

"The gods love me." Rachel shrugged before bursting out in laughter." Are you kidding me? Birthed an akalak child? Yes. Successfully? Shyke no. I love my baby but it was like giving birth to a rock. Not to mention my hips spread like the ocean." She shook her head.

"What colors? Oh and I found some perfect foundation to use." Orabelle showed her the kit, and the foundation that matched her sun-kissed skin. Rachel examined the different colors of eye shadows, lip pomade and eye liner and shrugged.

"You pick out my colors." She leaned back in the chair."Orabelle, surprise me. I want to be surprised!"

"Uh, okay." She nodded."Let's start with the foundation."


Orabelle smoothed out the foundation on her face, spreading it out and rubbing it in until it blended in with her skin. Orabelle then took out a light shade of red eye liner and slowly began outlining her eye. Back and forth. She told herself as she traced over the outside of Rachel's eyelid until it was a but noticeable. With a soft brush and light pink eye shadow she did a light patting underneath and above her eye. Orabelle than took out a red velvet eye shadow and did a perfect padding above the eye and current pink shadow. Orabelle stood back to few what she did. The light pink color look as if it had morphed into something more. To top it off, Orabelle use what looked like a small comb to make Rachel's lashes longer and fuller. She took out a sparkling crimson lip pomade and began applying it to Rachel's lips. Rachel was able to free her lips and turn them into an almost O shaped. This actually helped Orabelle perfect the shading of Rachel's lips. She then used an eye liner pencil (red) to outline the shape of her lips.

More then thirty chimes passed and Orabelle began picking at the curlers. She took out one and watched the curl bounce up. Just perfect. She took out the rest and watched them bounce upward too. The curls were perfect but were constantly falling in Rachel's face. So she took two pins to pull curls back on either side, then a white ribbon and carefully tied the curls together, holding them.

"Okay, take a look."Orabelle became nervous. What if she didn't like it? She became fidgety. There were a few off traits about Rachel but she was kind and had taste, which is something you do not find a lot of in Riverfall. She stepped in front of the mirror and didn't show any emotions.

"Oh my." Rachel uttered.

"Do you hate it?" Orabelle held her emotions in. I screwed up! She hates it!

"Hate it?" Rachel turned around, her face in question."Orabelle, I love it!"
