You’d been caught off guard, and your initial thought was towards food. How couldn’t it be, having left brunch still hungry? A nice dinner, plenty of meat, and definitely with dessert. A cream filled pastry, maybe? So long as he didn’t call you by it.
You touched your stomach, though. It was taut and strong, even if it didn’t show. It was still the warm season and it was hard for you to gain weight, especially with your training getting back in schedule, but the distraction made you consider something else.
Didn’t you want to see what <span class="mu-i">he</span> would think to get you?
“Okay,” you said, leaning over closer to Magnus, “Surprise me.”
He had to think about it for a moment, before seeming to realize something. He reached out and touched your hair. “Have you been growing it out on purpose?”
Not really. You’d just left it alone for months. “Do you like it?” You asked, not answering directly.
He didn’t answer straight either. “I’m not used to seeing you in it. Have you considered putting it up?” He pulled the gift box from his pocket, drew out the ribbon, and pulled his own ribbon loose from his braid. It loosened, and he drew a finger through it, undoing the whole thing into a sheet-black mane that made your heart seize up seeing shaken loose. “Here. How about these ribbons?”
You pouted at Magnus with a dim weight to your eyes. “You’re not s’posed to re-gift my own present t’ me on the spot…”
“If you want for more, then ask for more than a surprise,” Magnus said defensively as he pulled your own ribbon out of your hair, even though you weren’t wearing it as much more than a band. “Tell me how you want your hair, and I’ll style it for you.”
Was a man really supposed to know how to style hair? You supposed if anybody did, he would…
>Have your hair styled. The only accessories available are those pictured.
-----
>A simple ponytail. Practical and stylish. Showed your ears, for better or worse.
>You’d never tried pigtails before. Arranged a bit further back. It was a little more interesting than a ponytail that way and kept it behind.
>Tie it into a bun. Leave your bangs free. If he liked short hair better and didn’t say it, maybe that’s what he preferred.
>Other? (Describe it or draw it on.)
