*Maggie smiles faintly* I used te do this for my younger sisters.
*she closes her eyes to quickly summon up a piece of ribbon to tie the braid*

Oh, yes...that is! :::She desperately wants to see what it looks like, and she grabs the back of her head with her free hand and feels down the braid, to the ribbon:::
Hm...what's this? :::She uses the mirror again to try to see, while lifting the end of the braid over her shoulder so she could see:::
ooooh, intersting! Can you teach me how to do this?

*Maggie nods* Oh, aye, 'tisna very hard.
*she sits down next to Cora again, closes her eyes, and summons up three long pieces of ribbon. She knots them together at one end and hands it to Cora* Here now . . hold this at the knot, and I'll show ye how I braid it. Then we'll undo it and ye can try, alright?

:::Right outside piece to the midde, left outside piece to middle, right outside piece to the middle, left outside piece to the middle... and so on until Maggie finishes:::

:::Cora realizes that it really is just as simple as it seemed, and as she gets a feel for how hard to pull and how tight to string them, she picks up the pace and finishes the ribon off:::
You are right, this is very simple. Thank you for showing me. I hope I'm able to duplicate this in my hair when I need to.

*Maggie pulls herself back to the present* Alex? Oh . . . heavens, the first time I met him he was only a wee babe, here with his mother and sister. 'Tis so strange te see him all grown up now, when 'twas less than a year ago I saw him so young.

The Brink has a funny way of doing that. I met his mother, and she gave me a picture of Alex and Thea when they were babies to give to the Captain. Just the other day I saw Thea, and she had to be 10 years old... I think, I'm not sure how their kind ages really... come to think of it...
:::She furrowed her brow. SHe didn't really know how old Alex was:::
