Dhiate tossed and turned. It was beginning to get harder and harder to stay comfortable. After a little while, he gave up on sleep and sat up to practice his braid again. He wove it again, and again, and again. Soon, it looked just as perfect as it had whenever Amy had braided it the first time. It was thick and neat at the nape of his neck, not a single hair of place. It grew thinner until it ended as thin as his fingers. He had pulled it over his shoulder when it had gotten too far down for him to braid at his back. It lay across his lap and he rubbed the tip of it against the palm of his hand, marveling at it's softness.
Dhiate looked up quickly. Finally! They had arrived. He threw his long, pale legs over the side and dropped to the ground. He winced as pain shot up his stiff legs. The ride had been longer than he thought. He bent over, the tip of his dark braid touching the ground, as he rubbed his legs to get life back in them. When he straightened, he looked at is surroundings. It took his breath away. He smiled at Amy. "It's a beautiful place, Mistress." He said this to please her. Although 'beautiful' wasn't a word he'd use to describe it, it left him breathless in awe. He'd never seen anything like it and wasn't ever likely to forget it.
