Ruth's hands froze mid-comb then she leaned closer, eyes narrowing in confusion as she studied Rowan's reflection in the mirror that made him stiffened a little, forcing an awkward smile even though his heart jumped at the sudden question.
"O-oh—ah, yes," Rowan replied, scratching his jaw lightly as he tried to look casual. "I just wanted to try a new hair color when I arrived in Evadene. You know… there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Ruth tilted her head, still examining the strands between her fingers before nodding. "Hmm, you're right but… should I wash your hair more thoroughly now? Honestly, Your Highness, I think black hair suits you the most. With your pale skin and those ocean-blue eyes, it will look perfect."
