hair
Kareen had been in these rooms several times in the last few months for balls and state functions and rehearsals, but she could not restrain a small gasp when she saw the full wedding decorations for the first time. Candles lined the walls, throwing their light across the patterned floor to mingle with the glittering of many crystal chandeliers. Color bloomed from several of the largest, most elegant flower arrangements Kareen had ever seen, their shades perfectly matching the flowers she wore in her hair. But the wave of approaching guests was enough to distract her from the vast splendor of the room, all but outshining the flowers in their bright gowns and uniforms.
mourning
His image no longer came as clearly to her mind as it once had, but she could still see him; dark-haired and dark-eyed, taller and leaner than his older brother, somberly dressed in a dark civilian suit with an expression to match. Though he’d never been particularly lively, Kareen wondered in retrospect if he had ever really stopped mourning her mother. Lady Roxana had been dark-haired and kindly and rather plump, but but after so many years Kareen couldn’t quite remember her face. The existing pictures of them were all out at the Vorob'yev estate, and Kareen hadn’t been there in years.
