[The tiny girlchild looks him over, then whispers to Korrin, who nods.]

There's a stray tuft that's sticking up, but she can fix it for you. See, that vantage point is already coming in handy.

[samahl]

[He came closer then and stood on his tip toes to let the child fix his hair.]

[gatheringstorm]

[Leaning in, Korrin tips the giggling girl downward and waits until she's done, smirking as she straightens.]

She left you a present. Maybe you can start a nice flower crown with it.

[This gets enthusiastic nodding from Korrin's shoulder-elf.]

A flower crown? Those are so pretty!

[samahl]

I have one. It was a gift from a friend. I brought it, if you'd like to see it?

[He only brought it because he was wearing it when they left Skyhold. Now it's with his things.]

There's some magic on it so the flowers don't wilt.

[gatheringstorm]

Really?!? I want to see!

[That happy gasp gets Korrin to chuckle.]

I'd forgotten about that contest. Fun times. [She'd ask what he did to earn it, but some things are probably best discussed away from small children.] Go on, show off. You earned it, after all.

[samahl]

[Cyril chuckles a bit and then pulls away to go get his blossom crown. Honestly, he'd likely be wearing it now if not for the fact that he wanted to be taken seriously. When he comes back with it he offers it to the little girl.]

Do you think I can trust her to wear it for a bit? [He asks Korrin, in that voice that shows that he is going to let it happen but he has to pretend like it's a big deal. Also to solidify how important the crown is.] I mean, it is very rare and was a gift from a friend.

[gatheringstorm]

Hm...that is quite an honor. Such a gift has to be treated very carefully.

[Korrin smiles up at the little elf girl, who's quick to protest.]

I'll take care of it! I promise!

[samahl]

[He passes it up to her to wear, but despite how relaxed he is, Korrin now has to deal with him lingering around for a bit to make sure it doesn't get damages.]

[gatheringstorm]

[Korrin reaches up to carefully guide it onto the tiny girl's head. It doesn't fit as nearly as on Cyril, of course, somewhat skewed thanks to her smaller size.]

What do you say?

Ma serannas, hahren!

[samahl]

[Cyril responds with a you're welcome in elven. He does worry about bit but he trusts Korrin will keep an eye out for his crown.]

One day, I'll have to make one that you can wear, Korrin.

[gatheringstorm]

[The little girl giggles, though it's rather drowned out in Korrin's louder laugh.]

It'd be more like horn bling than a proper crown, wouldn't it? All looped around them and such? But I won't say no. Araceli would probably love it.

[samahl]

That would look lovely. And if it gets you points with your woman, then it's a win-win.

[He looks up at the girl.] Do you want to help me get flowers for a test run?

[He'd have to make another one once they were in Skyhold because the one make here wouldn't last. Not like his crown did.]

Once you're done being tall.

[gatheringstorm]

[Korrin's shoulder-elf nods eagerly.]

Okay! I know where to get the best flowers.

[The Vashoth woman chuckles at the pride in her voice, smiling widely.]

Then I'm indebted to you both.

[samahl]

We'll get to figure out which color looks best with her horns.
