I am caught on the self indulgent idea of Jaheira and Halsin and hair combing and braiding, but particularly extending their services to Tav and the gang.
#BG3 Musing#Halsin Posting#jaheira is quick - braids tight and pulls a little and tells you to stop squirming but her braids are all immaculate by the end#and halsin is slower and surprisingly dexterous with his hands but the braids are generally looser and freer feeling#and he'll info dump about what certain styles and placements mean in elven circles#and he prefers the combing part because it reminds him of his familial circles and how his mother would comb all of their hair#and it was a bonding experience#he'll ask if you want him to - jaheira will snark that it looks like a magpie took nest in your hair and motion you over#astarion absolutely wants neither of them to touch his hair at first but the lure of a combing is a very strong one#so they wear him down eventually#lae'zel is also harder to convince but halsin helped get her hair unmatted in the back after a particularly grueling day#and even though she kept grumbling that he can pull it harder and get it over with and got antsy - she actually really liked it#jaheria is *really* good at keeping up wyll's cornrows and parts extraordinarily#and halsin tuts sympathetically when shadowheart tells him she can't remember either of her parents braiding her hair#karlach is ALL FOR IT after her engine is fixed because having your hair combed by someone else??? feels so nice??#(she wiggles and fidgets far too much though)#i am in the craving mood for elvish styles of bonding okay especially with so many elves and half elves in the party#jaheira may have been a little dodgy on the being a mom side but i believe she took care of her children
