“I would never dream of it.” Deft fingers wove small flowers into long, silver hair. The man’s namesake. No, it was not his real name; the young king had never bothered to ask what the name was. And why should he? Thraels did not get names unless it pleased their masters. It pleased him that this man was named after the beautiful hair on his head.
Maybe one day he would think on why he had been allowed a name from his mother’s homeland... Iarios smiled as he carefully secured Forget-Me-Nots into Silfr’s hair. Holtasóley and Mountain Thyme already were placed strategically among perfect plaits. Purples and blues that complimented that icy gaze. “Besides, if you looked a fool, it would reflect upon me. No king would let their closest look anything but perfect.” Ragnhild would object. Let her fuss; she held no power. Satisfied with his work, he sat back. “There. Consider yourself free. I have a set of mirrors should you wish to observe.”
