"I'm not done with you, hey", I called Kiwi playfully getting out a blow-dryer."I mean, they aren't so bad, but when they bark and bark they get kind of annoying."

"Their barks are very annoying" Nix said, ushering Kiwi back to Roxanne. I returned to my seat as Kiwi sat at Roxanne's feet.

Roksana
"I agree", I nodded, knowing that soon we'll be quiet and awkward and I hated that. I started blow-drying Kiwi and was quite glad that the noise from the fan filled the room.

Kiwi was startled a little by the dryer, and jumped up. But as she began to get accustomed to the noise she sat back down.

Roksana
I finished about twenty minutes later."There", I said and turned off the blow-dryer.

Nix smiled "Thank you so much" She said, as Kiwi wagged her tail happily.

Roksana
"You're welcome. This one's on the house", I told Nix straightening up and stretching my back."Is it five already?" I glanced at the clock.

Nix stood up "Are you sure?" She asked tilting her head lightly, as Kiwi padded to her heel.

Roksana
"Yeah. If I don't write it down it never happened, shh", I laughed a bit fixing my hair in the nearby mirror."If it is five, that means my shift is over", I turned off the lights in the back of the room.

"Thank you" Nix repeated, smiling. "Would you like to get coffee or something? I'll pay" She asked, rubbing Kiwi's head.

Roksana
I blinked twice in confusion."That'd be great, thanks." I grabbed my beloved leather jacket from the holder."I just have to get dressed. I headed to the lockers and opened mine, the one in the middle, and got out my clothes, heading to the small bathroom.

Nix smiled and nodded, she placed a little tip behind the counter when Roxanne didn't see. I clipped Kiwi onto her lead, rubbing behind her ear.

Roksana
I got out of the bathroom in changed clothes. I ruffled my hair a bit. God, I didn't even bother to wash it this week. But at least it wasn't like a dead animal. Animals are rarely this shade of yellow.

Nix smiled once she saw Roxanne, and seeing her, Nix glanced down at her own clothes. They were expensive names, naturally, but Nix didn't really care about the labels that much, she just thought them pretty. Nix looked back at Roxanne.

Roksana
I grabbed the keys from the counter. I noticed the tip, but decided to stay quiet."We're off then?" I asked shoving my laptop in the bag and heading towards the door.

Nix nodded, and followed her out of the shop. "So, Roxanne, have any nicknames? Roxanne is quite a long name" She asked as Kiwi trotted in between them.

Roksana
I shook my head putting the laptop bag over my shoulder."Not really, nobody calls me any nicknames." I was called Ana at home, but this wasn't home.

"Not Roxie? Or Anne or something?" Nix asked, looking up towards her.

Roksana
"No, not really. I was always Roxanne or 'hey, hey, you, redhair, hey'", I laughed quietly-

Nix giggled slightly, "Roxanne is still a pretty name" She nodded.

Roksana
I smiled at her."What about you? Did your parents really name you Nix?" I asked her, teasing.

"It's worse than that" Nix said, with a shrug, fiddling lightly with the lead.

Roksana
Can't be worse than mine, I thought."Try me, see if I run away screaming."

"Clarissa Phoenix" Nix said, smiling lightly at her.

Roksana
"Oh, gosh, really? That's kind of cool", I said smiling back as I fixed the shoulder strap. I needed to adjust it but couldn't be bothered.
