He weaves her wreaths of flowers to rest atop her hair, and he does not know whether or not this is a dream.
The work of his fingers is careful and swift - over and under and clasp and tie - and he thinks of red threads, of connections that span worlds. (And he wonders if he could still reach her, even if this is a dream.)
The scent of heather is strong and heady in his nose, surrounds him like the firebreak that could feed off the miasma that surrounds her until they were both cleaned. Admiration and protection and good luck; all the things that he would have wished for her, spun here from his own hands to crown the girl he would name queen.
