Black hair Quote by Lois McMaster Bujold
““Aunt Lorna buys all our shoes big to grow into," Mina explained to Miles-san. "That's why they slip around like that." Lieutenant Johannes, peering doubtfully into the depths of the refrigerator, murmured, "Beer... ?" "Do you like beer, Mina?" Miles-san asked. She shook her head, making her straight black hair swing around her chin. "Thought not, somehow. You'll have to do better, Johannes. Aren't all you attaché fellows supposed to be ImpSec trained? Improvise!””
