February 7th, a package arrives for Hana Levesworth, in a black box, with a silver ribbon. It could be simply packaging, as these things occur. There is, however, no return address or claim of sender; House Amerith’s colors are silver and black.
Inside is an evening gown made to her near exact current measurements (almost as if someone was able to report her sizing precisely to a tailor, like he had it memorized to a very normal and healthy degree both visually and kinetically). Floor length, but sleeveless for optimized movement of her arms, the dress is sumptuous in material, and pleasing in design for a formal event.
The bottom skirt is of layers and layers of light brown organza silk, each one so delicate that they are near perfectly translucent, and shimmer with each movement, and make a pleasing barely audible whisper against each other, like a dozen little secrets, each building on the other to create depth of a richer color of bold, golden sunshine.
The bodice is a daring cut of two curved arches of layers of beads and precious stones of gold and honey browns over warm, soft velvet to match the exact shades of Hana’s eyes, opening up on each side to form the lines of negative space of a heart’s display of the woman within as the heart’s treasure. If someone were to have a certain type of thinking, though, within a particular eye for patterns, one might consider that there’s some similarity in the pattern of a hermit crab’s shell. But, that might just be a coincidence. After all, many things follow this sort of pattern, and it’s a reasonable one for a dress, especially made so quickly in anticipation of an event.
