how many people does it take to braid hair?

assuming there is a lot of it?

think before you answer this is REALLY important!

text; i hope you don't mind a late response!

Three, of course! One to braid, one to admire, and one to make a flower crown to compliment the lady.

And should you need help for the task, you have my hands.

later still forgive me what is moving

[sundroplet]

I might need help with the braiding.

but you saw it um.

do you really think one person would do?

moving happens, I'm just glad you made it safely!

[dappergent]

[ ah, so it was that lovely lady. That certainly does put it into a rather special perspective. ]

With certainty, a single man or woman could do it though it may take him some time to complete the task.

You are right though, with three to do the weaving, it'd go much faster. Perhaps even less then half a day.

[ the tricky part is just determining how best to come and separate out the hair. They'll need to hope for good weather, or just confiscate one of the long halls in the castle. ]

less than a DAY?!

I am never leaving this room.

[dappergent]

[ there's a smile on his lips as he writes ]

Half a day, but if you prefer, we can always take this to the garden. It would make it much easier to braid flowers into your hair.

[sundroplet]

could I climb the stairs down to the gardens without someone.

you know.

stepping on my hair?

[dappergent]

I hadn't quite thought of that, but don't worry! We'll just have to pick it up and carry it. That might take a few more men though.

How long is your hair again? It was about three times your height when last I saw you, wasn't it?

[ he is way off his mark, isn't he. ]
