It's novel to think of a braid as a method of keep hair out of your face while you work, as opposed to a fancy hairstyles. But this is a woman who has let ponytails and headbands keep her hair under control. She's never attempted complicated braids on her own, and with no friends to show her, she never thought to.
But this lesson, she absorbs like a sponge. Maybe it's because of her practice with knitting, but she picks up on how the hair is added to the braid right away. She still has questions now and then, but mostly she simply sits and observes.
"No, I think I'm ready to give it a try." She starts to section out her hair, then catches Caspar's disappointed look in the corner of her eyes. "Don't worry, you'll get a turn," she says, smiling at him sweetly.
He blushes a little. Is he that transparent? "Or I could go first," he replies, half-serious.
"No, I need the practice more," she teases. As tempting as it is to have Caspar's hands in her hair again, she needs to concentrate while Amelia's lesson is fresh in her mind. She starts her braiding -- a little loose in spots, but not too bad, overall. "How do I finish the end off? Can I tuck it in somehow?"
