What's Thomas doing in the City of Tomorrow?

Looking over possible storefronts to purchase for what he's hoping will become Coiffure Cup's second location. That's why he's his laptop and a few printed out listings that he's checking off, circling, or X'ing out as he does his research on the various locations using some of the demographic information he was able to find.

Because the thing of it is, he really likes this place. Like... really likes it. Especially since he can come here without being unavailable to his brother much. But he doesn't have to deal with his sister's bullshit, or the small amount of bullshit that he actually minds from Harry, and hey, he might even be able to find an utterly out of this world Christmas present for the cranky beansprout.

But the thing of it is, if he's going to spend a decent amount of time here, he needs a local cashflow source and a local location to get his fix. Which means... a salon. And given how well his salon fusion has worked back in Chicago, he sees no problem with making a franchise of it.

Of course, all of the things around him make sense for someone working on this goal except, perhaps, for the black and white california king who's coiled up around his shoulders. Her name happens to be Margaery, you see, and she's something of a souvenir from his time on 'Demon' Island. For the moment, she's resting and soaking in his warmth happily enough, but there may be a few whispers in his ear as she notices a tiny detail or otherwise passes judgement on the various locations that he's looking through.

All in all, a rather relaxing afternoon, all things considered. But do feel free to interrupt...

'Feel free to interrupt'? Really Narration, you should know better. And in one of Loki's favourite places, too. Though he's not going to interrupt right away, aside from a friendly wave to the snake; for now, he's going to finish his BLT (Sam Vimes style, thank-you-very-much), and enjoy the view.

See how long he can resist commenting on the real estate. It's an exercise in self-control.

Steve has noticed Thomas and has closed half the distance between them before he notices the snake. At that point he takes a step back , cocks his head and continues forward with a less direct route, and much more cautious speed.

"...Is there a reason you're wearing a snake?"
