Summary: At Leanne's request, Elincia does Leanne's hair.


Within the walls of the Crimean royal palace, two women are alone together in a room. It’s a rich room of lavish decorations, sheets and curtains woven from the finest of silks draped both on wall and bed. Within this room, these two women, Leanne the Heron and Queen Elincia of Crimea, are sat at a white vanity. Leanne in a chair, and Elincia behind her, playing with her long blonde locks.

“Want… like… Elincia Queen’s…” Leanne had said just an hour prior, as she gestured to the way Elincia’s green hair was pinned up atop her head. “How?”

So Elincia had opted to put Leanne’s hair up for her.

“It’s quite easy,” Elincia tells Leanne as she gathers up strands upon strands of gold into her fingers. “See? Look into the mirror,” Elincia tells her, speaking slowly so that Leanne can understand her. Leanne’s eyebrows crease with focus, and she puckers her lips just slightly in a way that Elincia privately muses is lovely. “You must take all of your hair, and then you gather it like this… once you do, you just use a clip to gather all of it up and pin it down.”

Elincia demonstrates for Leanne’s curious emerald eyes. With a beautiful clip made up of Crimean silver, in the shape of wings that resemble Leanne’s own, Elincia takes those heavy strands that are between her fingers and ties them all together to create a hairstyle similar to her own with the clip. Her eyes fixate on the top of Leanne’s head as she ties all of her hair together, and when they flicker towards Leanne’s reflection in the mirror, Elincia sees that Leanne’s eyes have lighten up.

Elincia steps back to let Leanne admire herself clearly, careful to steer clear of Leanne’s big white wings.

“What do you think?” Elincia asks, and reaches up to put her hands on Leanne’s shoulders, covered by the fabric of her dress. “Do you like it?”

Beautiful,” Leanne breathes with awe. “Beautiful like Elincia Queen.”

Elincia leans down, so that her chin is at Leanne’s shoulder, and her face is beside hers. She glances up towards at their reflections together, side by side in the mirror, and then closes her eyes.

“You are beautiful all on your own,” she tells her, and judging from the way Leanne reaches up to squeeze Elincia’s hand, Elincia knows that Leanne understands.
