[They both know that this is simply a different manner of dealing with things. In fact, it is even a little out of character for Lyall, who hates fighting. Maybe that's why he chose this specifically. To be able to finally put everything to rest, all the distateful things, in one final distateful action.
They both know where the underlying tension between them is coming from and that it simply needs to cool down on its own.
In the next few days, Lyall makes himself mostly unobtrusive. He does his duties as usual, and politely ignores the interrogative looks sent their ways.
He goes back down to the planet a few times, mostly to explore. And finds a nice, vintage - at least the vendor calls it vintage, to Lyall it's just normal - shaving set, that he buys and cleans up, making sure the blade on the razor is as sharp as needed before leaving it back at the salon.]
