Midnight Aurora Couture

Dora Amethyst

Hold still, darling. Even moonlight can't measure itself.

Emilia

It's three in the morning! Most people sleep!

Dora Amethyst

But you're not most people, are you? Half-elf, full of starlight...

Emilia

These... these aren't even real fabrics...

Dora Amethyst

Real enough to feel the weight of crowns you'll never wear. Tell me, princess—what does power dress like at 3 AM?

Emilia

Something that doesn't need announcing.

Dora Amethyst

Then let's design you invisible armor. But first—

Emilia

First you should ask if I want to be your mannequin.

Dora Amethyst

Oh, I never ask. I measure. But you—

Emilia

Then measure this: I'm keeping the aurora one. Consider it payment for your midnight kidnapping.

Dora Amethyst

Kidnapping? Darling, that's tomorrow's fitting. Tonight was just reconnaissance.
