It was one of the very few times he was without either one of his brothers, but they were sleeping since it was nap time. For some reason he just wasn’t tired. So he decided to do what he usually did when he couldn’t sleep. Ask his mom if he could mess with her hair. Of course he didn’t really use words too much. Like his mother he was a person of few words. So instead he grabbed her brush from her dresser and the small ties she used to keep her hair in place and toddled his way out to her.

She had just put the boys down for their nap and was busy picking up the slight mess in the front room of their house when she heard little footsteps. At first she worried that one of them had had a bad dream or something so she paused what she was doing to look in that direction. When she saw it was Huaijiu she smiled at him. Then she saw what was in his hands and she chuckled at him. “Can’t sleep?” Came her question. Of course she already knew the answer to that.
Terrwyn moved toward him, tossing the toy she had in her hand into a chair, then held her hands out for him. “Come on.”

His head gave a slight shake when she asked about his sleep. He likely could have just laid there with his brothers and eventually fallen asleep but that was boring and didn’t sound all that fun at the moment. He was the more grumpy of the three brothers but he was also the calmest by far. So he didn’t see why he needed a nap anyways.
When she opened her arms for him and gave her the verbal go ahead he moved to her again, this time lifting his arms up while still keeping his hold on her brush and ties.

She lifted her son up easily and brought him to her right side to balance on her hip. Once he was situated she turned back to the main room. “You want to do my hair again?” She had seen the brush and could guess what it was he wanted. Since he wasn’t talkative, much like her, she would give him options to nod or shake his head to. When she made it to an empty chair she stopped and waited to see what her little boy wanted to do. If he wanted to do her hair then she’d set him in the chair, if not then she would sit and keep him in the lap.

He seemed to settle in easily, used to being carried around. As his mother asked him if he wanted to do her hair he thought about it. That had been his original intent, hence the brush and ties, but now he was presented with the idea of cuddling. Though that wouldn’t be fair to his brothers. So instead he settled on a nod of his head to answer her question. His eyes turned to look at her hair, it was down today since she didn’t go out. Jiu was observant enough to remember that when she stayed home it stayed down. Only when she had plans to go out did she do anything with it. He held up the brush so she’d know his choice more clearly.

She saw his nod but him holding up the brush made her smile at him. “Alright.” Terrwyn turned so that she would set Huaijiu in the chair, making sure he was fully in place before taking her hands away. Once he was good she shifted her own position so that she was sitting on the floor in front of him. With both hands she reached up and tugged her hair so that it was behind her, ensuring that he had access to it all. “There you are.” While she had other things to do she wasn’t going to take away from the enjoyment of her children. If he son wanted to spend time brushing her hair and tying it back then she’d let him.

A very faint smile appeared on his lips. He liked getting his way. He wiggled in the chair to get where he wanted to be, both for comfort and for reach, then waited. Once she was seated in front of him he set the ties down in his lap and reached forward to put the brush in her hair. He started slow and worked at the bottom. He learned early on that if he started at the top and brought the brush through it got caught in tangles.

She was thankful he had at least learned how to brush through her hair. Trying to get the brush unstuck the one time had been dreadful. Also gave Thal something to snicker at when he’d come home. As he worked through her hair she stayed still and closed her eyes. The action was relaxing but it also helped her to focus a bit better. She could hear more that way. So she trained her hearing to the hallway and waited for signs of her other boys waking up.

He focused intently on what he was doing, not wanting to mess up like before. One stroke down and then another until he made it to the top of his mommy’s hair and the tangles were gone. After that he moved so that he could separate it all into different sections. He was only able to do the two for now. Though his mom did tell him that he could add more if he ever wanted to. Jiu didn’t think she would look good with more than that. It might be too much going on in her hair then.

A small yawn escaped her as she relaxed. While she wasn’t exactly tired she was content with the feeling of having her hair brushed. Of course she did keep an eye on the hall as much as she could just in case one of the other triplets woke up from their nap. Terrwyn did wonder if perhaps Jiu would get cranky closer to the end of the day because he was missing his sleep now. She knew she spoiled her boys by letting them set their own boundaries but she felt it was better than how she had been raised.

After her hair was separated into two parts he moved one over her shoulder so that it was out of his way. The other part was brushed through again just to be on the safe side before he moved to break that into smaller parts. Three to be exact. He wanted to braid it. Two braids would look really pretty for her. He’d seen her do it several times and he trusted his memory to help him so he set to work in winding the pieces together.

When she felt the tell tale signs of a braid being put together she smiled to herself. She hadn’t actually taught him how to do that but she knew Huaijiu was good at doing things he remembered seeing done. It made Terrwyn wonder if perhaps he had a very good memory. Possibly even portrait perfect. She might have to test him or take him to meet a scholar and see what they said. It would be interesting to see how smart her boys were.

He focused on what his hands were doing, though he was moving slowly as he tried to make it look how he remembered it. It wasn’t perfect since it was his first time and while he might remember the general look he couldn’t replicate experience so his hands weren’t as steady. What he ended up with was a very messy version of what he recalled.

She could tell that the braid was loose. If that was the case then her hair would look messy compared to usual. Not that she cared. Nine times out of ten her hair ended up looking messy anyways because she was out in the woods or on a hunt or helping with the animals as much as she could. A faint smile took shape as she glanced back at her son and his working hands.

The first braid was finished and he tied it off so that it wouldn’t come undone before he moved over to the other side. He pulled the hair back and brushed through it much like he had to the other side. When he was satisfied with it he separated it into three parts and started to do the same thing he’d done to the other side. He moved a smidge faster on this side as his hands were more sure than before.
