Malakai Negri - Malakai walked with her back to her room, he smiled at her and nodded. "You have a selection to choose from," he chuckled. He had the maids put in a bunch of dresses for her to choose from, all the colors, all the shades, and many, many different styles, ranging from fluffy big ball gowns to silky, fitted slips. But Kais favorite was by far the midnight blue one, made of tight-fitting silk, strappy, backless back, with a slit up to her upper thigh. He thought it would be so fucking gorgeous on her, but he didn't get his hopes up that she'd choose that one. And of course, with each dress, came a matching set of jewelry and heels. Kai smiled at her, "Goodnight, Cam, see you tomorrow," he murmured to her, a hint of affection in his voice. He watched as she disappeared into her room before returning to his own room. Malakai got ready for bed, actually happy. He had a second chance with his princess, and he wasn't about to screw this one up. |

Camery Valatieri - Camery settled down in bed, eventually just slipping off to sleep. It was so warm... the fluffy blankets, the duvets... she couldn't sleep in a nest, it was odd, but it was lovely all the same. She awoke maybe mid afternoon the next day, and suddenly panicked as she hopped out of bed. "Why didn't you wake me?" She squeaked to Jack, who just shrugged.
"You looked comfortable. Plus, it's going to be a long night. You may aswell get some rest," he added, his voice calm but he looked so exhusted.
Camerys eyes softened, and wandered over to pat him on the back. "Help me pick something for tonight, then go get some rest. I'm gonna want you with me, just incase," she murmured. He nodded and stood up, going to sit on the bed as she grabbed some of the clothing out.
Camery looked in awe at the walk-in wardrobe, and excitedly went to grab some things to try on. They had everything a girl could want in there. The outfits all had matching shoes and jewellery. It was perfect. She tried a few on, though eventually they both agreed on two they both rather liked. Jack wandered off as Cam tried to pick between the two. |

Malakai Negri - Malakai woke early and went for a long fly before coming back around midday, hair ruffled from the wind. He felt truly happy now he had her back, even if they weren't together, he still had her close by. When he got back, he went down to the ballroom and checked on how the servants were doing with the finishing touches. And when he walked in, it was gorgeous. The high ceilings were midnight blue, and thousands of glass lightbulbs hung from fishing wire, all lit up, representing the stars. It was stunning. After losing track of time once again, he rushed up to his room to get ready. He pulled on his suit and set his crown a top his head. Kai hated it, but he had to wear it. And just before he was supposed to be at the entrance welcoming people, he rushed downstairs to the ballroom, just in time to welcome the first few nobles who had come to the festival. |

Camery Valatieri - Camery stared at the dresses for what seemed like forever. It was between a midnight blue dress, with gold, lacy straps and a more traditional ball down type frock. She eventually just sighed and went to put on the first one.
It was pretty... a bit out there, maybe. Her whole back was on display, only really stopping as it reached her backside. The strappy laces were loosely fitted, leaving the front a little more tapered, while the rest of it was snuggly fitted. It was pretty... a lot more out there than she would have normally worn, but it nicely showed of the gold lines that still just hadn't disappeared. Well, it was solstice... they'd probably stay all night long. She did her hair quickly, deciding that she was going to enjoy herself and not worry too much about anything.
She popped her heels on, then the jewellery. She stared at her tiara for a moment. She'd brought it with her, since it was custom for her to wear jt. It was pretty, good with soft swirls that somehow resembled the sun. She picked it up and fitted it on her head, before heading to the door.
Jack was ready and waiting, his golden tie matching almost perfect. She smiled lightly to him before they made their way down to the ballroom.
He looked at her for a moment, though. "Camery, you look gorgeous, but is that not a bit..." Camery chuckled lightly and nodded. "Showy? Yeah, it is. But it was the nicest one in there," she interrupted before pouting. He was like a big brother to her... and she knew he cared, but she really was just going to enjoy herself for a little while. |

Malakai Negri - Malakai was welcoming a pair of nobles from the winter kingdom when he spotted Camery enter the ballroom. His jaw dropped. She was fucking. stunning. "Excuse me," he said, politely taking himself away from the conversation and walking over to Camery, pushing his way through the crowd politely. "Camery, you look stunning," he said when he approached her, eyes looking her up and down. She was absolutely gorgeous. |

Camery Valatieri - The two of them wandered down happily, although once they'd arrived Jack went to to body guard mode, going to stand in the corner as Camery found her way to the drinks. She grabbed herself a glass of Champagne, hoping it would help loosen her off a bit and relax enough to enjoy herself.
She jumped at the sound of Malakais voice, but turned and flashed him that practiced smile of hers.
She glanced him over, a more genuine smile creeping across her face as she looked up at him. "Thank you," she chuckled bashfully, not overly sure how else to reply. "I mean it's all yours, you should have probably seen it before," she mused happily, gesturing to the dress.
"You clean up nicely too, hm?" |

Malakai Negri - Malakai felt bad for scaring her, but he quickly moved on from the little embarrassment. "Of course," he grinned at her. "Well, I've seen the fabric, but all of those dresses I had made for you, so, no I haven't seen it before," he explained. "Thank you," he replied with a smile. |

Camery Valatieri - Camery raised a brow at him when he stated when that he'd had them all made for her... well, it was a bit weird, but they were nice dresses so she couldn't complain all too much. "Well, thank you. They're lovely," she chirped, running her hands down her waist to feel the fabric. "You shouldn't have gone out your way to get things made, though," she added quickly, though there was a thankful smile across her face.
They were all gorgeous. She couldn't be upset about it... but he had gone above and beyond to have something made she might like. She then cocked her head at him curiously. "So, Mr Negri, when're you make your speech? I wanna hear it!" She mused lightly. |

Malakai Negri - "Well, its helpful that my sister is the same size as you, so whatever you don't want can go to her," he explained. That was why he had the seamstress make so many. "I bet you look stunning in all of them," he smiled at her. Kai just wanted to make her happy. That was all he wanted to do. Kai chuckled. "Well, I make my speech just before midnight..." he said checking his watch. |

Camery Valatieri - She flashed him a light smile after a moment and shrugged softly. "Well, they're all gorgeous. I might keep this one, though," she mused lightly to him. She felt a light blush cross her face when he said she'd look good in all of them. It was a stretch, perhaps, but they were all pretty dresses. She hummed and took a glance up at the clock in the corner, just as the moon was coming into view of the circle window in the ceiling. "Well, you have half an hour to get ready for it," she chirped.
She took a glance around the room, pursing her lips slightly. "You did a pretty good job on all this. It looks good!" |
