Nova
Clever as the devil
She beams under Aithne's agreement, but it falls flat as the next suggestion comes. Pulling off the headband, she narrows her eyes. "Mm. No." It's an automatic response, not cruel or biting, but dismissive all the same, a designer making an executive decision on her creation, knowing the vision she has in mind.
Angling the headband, an overlay of illusionary scales forms on top, showing the intricate layers and gleaming angles that would only be broken by gems. "The gold scales are really shiny. Gems will only make it look cheap." She scrunches her face, disliking the idea. Her sister is too pretty to wear cheap, but this is cute, and Nova smiles when she adjusts the headband to look closer at the idea she has in mind.
Suddenly, an echo of words comes from outside, calling them to exit the store and 'Follow!' Nova peeks out the windows, eyes bright with mischief. "What's that?! Let's check it out!" Throwing aside the white headband, she makes for the door, excited to see where the squirrels would lead them.
