Tez held a pin in her mouth, her brows furrowed as she concentrated, braiding Miko's hair carefully, occasionally brushing through it with a small, silver comb.
Miko flushed. "Shush." Tez chuckled, placing a pin in her hair, the shape of thin golden leaves. Brushing back her hair, she placed another flower, her eyes thoughtful.
Miko nodded, Tez glanced up for a moment before pulling away. "Alright. I'm done with yours. Would you do mine?" Miko grinned, turning so she could do Tez's hair, taking the comb as she looked up at Lark. "You'll look great!"
The door opened and Rowan stepped in, his face already tightly knit in a frown. His tired, purple eyes scanned the two of them and it only seemed to deepen. He wore a simple, cream, button-up shirt, the warmth of the color contrasting with his cold eyes and a scar crossing his collarbones barely visible under his collar. His long, thin hands were in the pockets of a pair of dress pants and his shoes were polished almost obsessively. He ran a hand through his hair, looking tense. "Where's Lark?"
Miko glanced up for a moment, running the comb through Tez's hair, who remained silent with her eyes down as she tuned everything out. "Changing," Miko replied, adding the final, silvery piece before smiling with pride. "All done."
