The Dark Tavern

Tela handed him three strands. "do you know how to braid because I keep dropping little strands."

"Ergh... Yeah Kinda" said Vash as he braided the three strands.

"Thank you." tela said softly. She then getly took the braid from him.

Vash nodded and smiled back.

Tela then bega braiding braids together. Normally her hands wouldn't cramp but she was so nervous she kept messing up.

Sakura looked up. The full moon hung above them, bathnig them in moonlight. It was so peaceful...too bad this seren..ness (thats not a word is it? lol)) couldn't last forever.

"Need help?" asked Vash gently.

Tela nodded. "If you don't mind." she whispered blushing softly. The moon accented her pale skin giving it a soft glow making her blush stand out.

Vash gently braided Tela's hair silently.

Tela was sitting up straight. She resisted the urge to lean into his touch.

When Vash finished, he quietly sat down next to Tela.

Sakura stood. Her foot had falen asleep, so she walked around the grassy clearing untill it stopped tingling. She was about 50 feet from the group, head tilted upward to gaze at the sky.

Vash put a hand around Tela.

"Thank you." Tela told Vash. "I don't kow what's wrong with me."

"Nah, its Ok" answered Vash.

"It's an elven thing. You braid your hair, the styles vary by your social or military status."

Vash nodded to show he understood.

Tela smiled. "I don't kow why. I find it kind of silly." she said shrugging. "But's it's a custom. does your kind have any?"

"Nope, Im an Ark Angel, a normal human with wings" answered Vash.

Tela bit her lip. "Sorry."
