A few hours had passed and a steady rain poured over the moors of Ireland. A faint giggling and laughter could be heard coming from a hobbit hole in one of the moor's hillsides. Inside sat Rhona, who was as she was braiding Leon's long hair, and Leon, who held a slightly annoyed expression with a tinge of pain from squiring, which resulted in his hair being pulled.
"There! All finished!" Rhona said happily as she tied up the braid. Leon had a look of disbelief and slight dissatisfaction. "Well? Go on! Take a look!"
Leon went over to a nearby puddle and looked at his reflection. He turned his head to get a better look of the neatly braided, french braid on the back of his head. He grinned looking quite satisfied.
"OK my turn!" Rhona replied turning around.
"Me?" Leon asked pointing to himself.
"Yes you! I braided your hair, now you have to braid mine!"
"Ya know tha' I've never done this before, right?" Leon asked as he scooted up behind her and started to braid Rhona's hair.
"I know. But I want you to do it anyway. Besides, my hair is longer so it should be pretty easy." Rhona smiled.
Leon sighed. After a half hour and 10 retries, he finally finished. "There. Done. Go take a look... Though I can't promise tha' it looks any good." He said mentally exhausted. He then floped on his back and closed his eyes as Rhona went over to the puddle. Unlike Leon's, Rhona's braid was fairly messy yet it held quite well.
"This is actually very good for your first try, brother." Rhona replied crawling over to Leon.
"Yeah well... It took me 10 tries ta finally get it right. Tha's tha best I can offer, I'm afraid. " Leon groaned not opening his eyes.
" Yeah well... I like it anyway!" Rhona replied cheerfully. Leon snorted then smiled. Rhona looked at for a moment and smiled for a moment before looking out of the entrance to their shelter and watched the rain fall.
