Apollo's Divine Grooming Salon

Hello, and welcome to our Grooming Salon! I'm Lament, your stylist, and along with my Scopup, Apollo, we're glad to offer you our services!

We do pet bathing, from sand baths to icy cold showers. We even have a polishing bay for those who want their metallic parts to be as shiny as can be.

For those who are looking to relax, we have massages and pampering options for the particularly stressed pet.

We also offer grooming, such as trims or even completely new hair styles for those who dare to be different! Even a fancy little bow can go a long way to help brighten a pet's mood.

So come on in, and feel free to ask about any of our services. We even have a special package for those pets who need a little extra TLC.

Apollo: Wuff!

"Ah hello, come on in!" Lament appears from behind a screen, dressed in a frilly pink apron. "Apollo, off the counter please." The Scopup doesn't move.

"I guess he's asleep again." Smiling, Lament turns to Elanor. "What can I do for you today?"

"Yes we certainly do." Lament gently picks up Apollo and places him on the chair. "Currently, we have several different treatments available." She smiles at the Astripup, before picking up a pamphlet.

"For your little guy there, I can suggest the relaxing lavender soak, or a gentle massage." Lament flips the page over. "Or you can do both with this care package here. It also includes a bathing scrub and dry off." She offers the pamphlet. "Have a read if you'd like, and let me know what sounds best."

"Ah, I see. My apologies." Lament comes around the counter to have a closer look at Treble. "Not anything specifically at the moment, but what I can do is give her a chamomile bath, and a massage with either Chamomile or Lavender oil." She glances up at Apollo, who wuffs in response.

"This should help her relax, and she may possibly even drift off during the massage."

"That sounds a little worrying." Lament hummed, allowing Apollo to wriggle into her arms. He sniffed curiously at the Astripup.

"Wuff." Apollo turned to his owner, ears twitching. "Wuff wuff!"

Lament smiled. "Of course. We should get started." Turning to her customer, she gestured to the waiting room. "Would you like to wait here? You can watch over your pet from waiting room."

"Alrighty." Lament smiled, leading the way to the waiting room. "Apollo, please prep the first bay for a bath and a massage."

"Wuff!" Apollo saluted with his left ear before moving off get started. Lament turned back to her client.

"Here's a quick form for you to fill out while you wait. Just some basic client details." She pointed at a clipboard on the table beside them. "May I take your pet over to the bay?"

"Sure, here you go." Lament placed a pen in her hand before turning her attention to the Astripup. "Alrighty, little one. Shall we get started on that bath?"

Treble looked confused it bawf tim noo?

"It's bath time." Lament smiled, gently reaching out. "Don't worry, it'll be fun and relaxing, I promise." She held out her arms, giving the Astripup the choice to allow Lament to pick her up.

Lament smiled and gently picked up the Astripup, taking her over to the grooming bay. Apollo met them with another salute. "Thanks Apollo."

"Wuff." Apollo bounced up to settle on a pile of towels while Lament tested the water.

"Do you like your baths warm or cool, little one?"

"Not a problem." Lament turned to her companion, only to find him already heating up the bath water. Apollo blew out a steady stream of fire, shutting his mouth once the water was steaming slightly.

"Thanks." Picking Treble up, Lament moved her to the bath. "Hop in, little one."

Lament laughed as water splashed over the sides of the tub. "No worries, little one. Just sit tight while I get some things ready."

Moving over to the other side of the bay, Lament picked up a basket of bottles, removing one and placing it in front of Apollo. "Heat this up, please."

"Wuff." Turning back to Treble, Lament smiled. "Ready to get all soaped up?"

Squirting a generous amount of lavender scented shampoo onto her palms, Lament lathered up her hands before applying the shampoo to the Astripup. She gently massaged the soap onto Treble, scrubbing a little with her fingers. "How's that feel?"

"Fair enough." Lament hummed as she gently rinsed Treble off. "Do you want to sit in the bath for a little bit, or do you want to move straight on to the massage?"
