Zetaya get out, looks in mirror and checks her hair. Her hair, resembling that of a bird nest sat on her head.

"Woah! Now that's some crazy bed head!" she exclaimed as she stared at herself.  

Zetaya turned around to see her maid enter, head held high for a servant, yet still with respect.

"Mistress, good morning. It is unusual for you to wake this late. Please do not tell me you escaped last night for some nighttime rendezvous." The maid immediately questioned Zetaya, worry expressed in a monotone voice.

"Haha! Elrina no need for such worry! No wonder you're aging faster than me. I bet you wish you were as energetic as me!" Zetaya boasted and joked sarcastically, unknowing of the consequence.

"Why yes, Mistress..." Elrina smiled, her eyes devoid of any agreement or gratitude. Instead her eyes reflected a very hot fire, about to go wild, and burn everything.

"Elrina, please, you know how I am. I cannot keep such sarcasm stored, or I might explode! Also, what about your services?" 

"Mistress, if you would please refrain from showing me and telling me sarcastic jokes, I would gladly give you my services." Elrina replied "But of course, I do get paid for doing those services, so I might as well, do them."

Zetaya walked over to her dresser, sat down in a chair and waited patiently in front of the mirror. Elrina followed her and stood behind her. 

"Mistress, your hair is comparable to that of a dog's, hidden, excretions from their behind."

Only silence followed after that statement.

"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!" Zetaya turned around eyes desperately searching for Elrina's face.

"Are you saying that my hair is comparable to shit?! You could've said a birds nest or a bush, or even weeds! But no! You had to say it was comparable to dog shit!" Zetaya's words hurriedly spilled out of her mouth, her face covered in an angry and questioning look.

Elrina covered her mouth in a fake surprise.

"Mistress! What uncouth words you say! What a dirty mouth, that is comparable to your shi- dirty hair that you have! I simply cannot believe this!"

Elrina raised her hand to her forehead in a dramatic manner, and pretended to act ill. 

"No, no, no. Elrina stop pretending. You've been stuck with me ever since I've been a child, just as I have been stuck with you! I know your fake sympathy and fake reactions!" Zetaya exclaimed, in an almost proud manner. It was certainly something that she saw as great, to be able to know if someone was lying.

"You have caught me mistress, I simply cannot fool you." 

Elrina smiled, this time warmth and and pride showed on her face as she looked at the young lady.

Zetaya smiled back, knowing that whatever happened, Elrina's loyalty would always be there.

Just as they have grown together as children, and now into young women.

"My lady, may I brush your hair? Such beautiful hair should not be tangled."

"Yes, Elrina. In fact, I believe I would like you to."

Zetaya turned around once again and faced the mirror, but this time she looked at Elrina. 

Zetaya watched Elrina's features. Her dark brown hair that was just a bit longer than shoulder length. Her dark brown eyes that almost always seemed to look with a sharp, judgmental gaze, her mouth that only curled up once in a while, when a sarcastic joke made her laugh. Her beautiful skin that was just a bit darker than Zetaya's. Her beautiful neck, that would drive men wild, so much so that she herself, Zetaya had to protect her from the men. Her long, thin arms, that reached towards Zetaya's hair, in a caring way.

Yes, it all belonged to her beloved maid. Her friend.

Elrina looked at her mistress's hair. Long, and smooth, no tangles or knots. She had finished brushing her lady's beautiful silver hair. Silver hair that represented the Cruvinois family.

She lovingly ran her hand through Zetaya's hair as she watched it cascade out of her hands, like a silver waterfall. Elrina looked at the mirror.

Her lady's face, filled with no imperfection. Her fair skin, her perfectly narrowed chin, her cheeks that were the right shade of pink. Her small mouth, and red lips that were set at a closed in a beautiful expression, but when opened, knew every dirty phrase and word known to man. Her startlingly glimmering, gold and purple eyes, that belonged only to her. Her revealed arms that were resting on her perfectly curved and soft thighs. Her waist that seduced many people and made them fall in love with her. The nape of her neck that seemed to appeal to Elrina.

Yes, it all belonged to her beloved mistress. Her secret crush.
