Saffron and Mano spent the afternoon gathering poinsettias from Red Mountain to make Christmas leis for all the townspeople.
Mano was an expert carver, a wonderful ukulele player, and a really terrible lei maker.
âWell, these arenât right,â he said, holding up a knot of flowers and leaves.
âNo,â Saffron said, taking it from him and looking for any hole big enough for someone to put their head through, âNot quite.â
The Empress had taught Saffron to make leis. One rainy afternoon before a baby shower for Saffronâs friends the Tuckers, she and the Empress had sat in the Empressâ big house and woven thirty leis. Saffron was pretty good at it now, but she wasnât an expert in the way the Empress was, and she didnât know how to teach Mano what to do.
âUh, here,â she took the one he was working on, âI can figure it out if Iâm actually doing it. She unwound the string from the stems of the flowers and worked to re-wrap it.
âYouâre good at that,â he said from over her shoulder.
âIâm learning,â she said, âIâm slow. The Empress could have made three for every one Iâve made.â
âWe should get her over here,â Mano chuckled.
âWe canât. Sheâs in Honolulu with Lyza and Davis for Christmas.â
âOh, sheâs going to love that.â
âBut it means weâre stuck here with no lei expert.â
âYouâre on your way to being one,â he said, âJust need to make about . . .â he squinted at the rack holding about twenty leis, âa thousand more.â
She laughed. Mano always made work seem like fun.
âWell, Iâve got all evening,â she said.
He picked up a blossom and handed it to her, âwell,â he said, âyouâve also got a helper.â
