The little fox tilted her head up and blushed, making patterns on the floor using her leg.
"Miss Lara," they heard the maid call out, "Let me finish brushing your hair."
Astoria stood up and held Lara's hand, walking towards the maid. She sat the little fox down.
"I will continue brushing her hair," she told the maid, her palm facing up for the maid to hand her the brush, "So you may leave. Thank you for your help."
The maid handed Astoria the brush, bowed, and left. She smiled at Lara's mirrored reflection and began to brush her silky white hair.
"Do you want a specific hairstyle, or should I just brush it down?" she asked the little fox.
Lara nodded. "Pigtails, please."
Astoria brushed the little fox's white hair and braided it. She smiled when she was done with the pigtails, placing her hands on the little fox's shoulders.
"Do they look fine?" she asked the little fox.
