To Be Expected
"How about we try a few other solutions before we go to that extreme. I have some oils that we can leave in overnight before we try to comb your hair. And if that doesn't work, we can always try a few different conditioners. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and we are going to try out every last one of them before we put scissors anywhere near your hair."
Bin An Sha smiled at me as he spoke. He even went so far as to touch my hair as he talked about how to get it back to a healthier condition. Given how he felt about dirt and the fact that not even I would touch my own hair, I was impressed.
However, it wasn't until Rip started growling about how only monsters or psychopaths would know that there was more than one way to skin a cat that I burst out laughing.
It was absolutely adorable how much the mountain of a man could turn into a puddle of goo for a cat.
