Thell found himself staring a moment too long as the "woman" figure danced over to the wardrobe, but then he averted his eyes.
"Uh, if you have something in back, or at least dark, that suits me"
"Hmm, I see. I think I have just the thing." She starts rummaging through the wardrobe and pulls out darkness itself. "Oh yes!"
She throws the dark blotch high up in the air and pulls out a wand that slowly guides it on to your body. You can feel the coolness of the black, covering you from head to toe. You can feel the fabric on your face as if there was nothing but a shadow on it. You know it's a mask, which is very fitting. You look down and you can see the shadows have become one with your half-plate, forming intricate designs that you feel would be really hard to see if you weren't looking for them.
"Very impressive figure you cut there, sir."
((OOG Think this:
Or this:

"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

Bree looks down at the dress. "I feel ridiculous. Is this all necessary? I don't belong in clothing like this. This dress is probably worth more than my life." She sighed sadly. "Why do I have to pretend to be something I'm not just to see this Queen?"
Thell reaches up and adjusts the mask a bit, "Yea...it'll do" he smiles "Thank you for your help, what can you tell me about the Summer Court?"
She touches her head with her wand then touches your head with it, suddenly you are filled with information.
The Summer Woods, or the Emerald Forest, generally are the regions governed by the Summer Court. An endless forest of tall verdant trees with pockets of groves, springs, and streams. The grass on the forest floor can vary in density and height but often remains within a reasonable size compared to medium-sized humanoids. The trees are a different matter, many are a couple hundred feet tall with the oldest ones being possibly three to four hundred feet tall. The fauna and local animals are a wide range, there are numerous varieties of fey as well. Many denizens either live deep beneath the earth, inside the trees or roam freely across the endless forest.Summer is most often associated with growth and heat which is directly opposed to the Winter Court. The Summer Court is ruled by three Queens, collectively known as the Summer Queens. In addition, Summer counts many Sidhe and lesser faeries as members of the greater Summer Court. Finally, as with the Winter Court, a single mortal champion is appointed by the Summer Queens; the Summer Knight.
The power of the Summer Court and its rulers is tied closely to the seasons in the mortal world. Summer gains power from Midwinter to Midsummer and loses power from Midsummer to Midwinter. During the time Summer is in ascendance, the Stone Table resides in the realm of Summer.
The Summer Court is ruled by the three Summer Queens: Mother Summer, Summer Queen, and Summer Lady. It also keeps a mortal champion, the Summer Knight.
Mother Summer is the oldest of the Summer Queens. She was the previous Summer Queen and is the mother of the current one. She is not referred to by name but by her position.
The Summer Queen is the ruler of the Summer Court. She was the Summer Lady and will be the future Mother Summer. The current Summer Queen is Titania.
The Summer Lady is the youngest of the three Summer Queens. She is the future Summer Queen, sometimes the daughter of the current one. Sarissa is the current Summer Lady.
Most fey in the Summer Court will carry some sort of motif with them since the Summer court generally represents vibrant life and strength. You might find the fey here more warlike or tribal. Many beasts and beast-like fey will tend to be larger than their mortal coil cousins. Some may be covered in gold or emerald leaves, their coloring may also be extremely colorful and prismatic. Summer Court fey might be prone to anger or have short tempers, you will find plenty of strong predators as well. Even Queen Titania has been known to be extremely vengeful, almost as badly as the Queen of Air and Darkness from the Gloaming/Winter Court. The Summer Court is elementally aligned to fire with the Winter court typically aligned to air.
"I do hope that answers your question." She says with a smile.
"...Debts must always be paid, sometimes in more than blood and gold. But this is Ordo Ursa," Ren places his hand on Erakas's chest, right where the Dragonborn's heart is. "Right here. And it always has been and always will be. Don't ever forget that. Because I won't."

Thell held his head, absorbing the new information, it was an overload having two bits of information passed into his mind by magic within such a close time span. "It does...thank you. Where does Princess Dandelion fit within the court, what power does she hold?"
"She is the youngest daughter of Mother Summer, former Summer Queen of the Summer Forest. She is held in high regard for her youthful nature and his lavish dinner soirees. She holds dominion over the Rose Palace, she upset her sister and was made to rule over the Hedgegrove as punishment for 5,000 years. Our Summer Queen is kind, but if you get on her tempt her anger..." She trails off as if lost in thought before coming back to a few moments later. "Is there anything else, my lord?"

"You are an honored guest, Bree Underland. Protecting the Hedgegrove and saving the Princess. Heroes are always treated as such in the Summer Court." She pulls out a mirror that grows in size and puts it in front of you. It seems like the sparkles of your face match the sparkles on your dress. You have never looked so beautiful as you do dressed to the 9s right now. Your hair has different lights coming out of it as if there was an angelic glow surrounding your head made of the rainbow itself.
"You don't look ridiculous, my lady. You look amazing." She says sheepishly like maybe her beauty pales in comparison to you at this moment.

"I don't look like me," Bree sighed. She looked miserable, with all the lights and butterflies fluttering around her. "Can we just get this over with? I'd like to be back with my friends."
Quaf escapes through the balcony, not wanting to be touched, dressed or anything else.
After flying over the canopy for some time you find a nice spot hidden in the trees to take a nice respite. The flora and fauna here are the lushest and most beautiful you've ever seen. Even the gardens of the Rose Palace pale in comparison. The assortment of Fey creatures that you have seen thus far has amazed you. You've seen Minotaurs the size of halflings, gnomes the size of an orc, fairy dragons playing in a large fountain, tree-singers praying to their tress as they form into beautiful works of art. The world below you is full of life and energy, but it doesn't stop there. Up in the canopy, you see small woodland creatures playing on the branches of the trees, chasing some winged monkeys around. Horned rabbits, purple flying squirrels You see singing flowers, their soft melody is soothing and relaxing. Their danicng, though rooted and connected to the trees they are growing from, is exciting and flashy.

Quaf is not impressed by the view. Yes, beautiful colours, green forest... but he prefers the mountains and the strong wind. Too much smiling and dancing out here. Where is the sheer force of the elements? Quaf, as never before, feels like a bird in a cage.
After flying around a bit, Quaf goes back to the castle and, hopefully, to the fancy meeting with the Summer Queen.
"do you have anything that will make me invisible?" Breeze says sarcastically and with a light chuckle. "Probably not, So whatever you think is best is fine. I'm not one to make a fuss over clothes." Breeze looks up from his workpiece, second-guessing himself. "However, I'd rather not stick out, the more it helps me blend in the better."

"You are going love the way you look!" She dives into the wardrobe and starts pulling out multiple cloths. A white one that wraps around your waist and over your shoulder. ((Which shoulder will be a matter of preference for Kat.)) And then a dark grey cloth that covers the rest of your body, slightly going over the white linen. This is the most comfortable thing you have ever worn, it is light and airy, but it has many pockets for all sorts of items. There is a sling on each side of you, one perfect for a Beebo, another perfect for your menagerie of Chwinga's. "What a dashing figure you make! Is there anything else I can do for you, my lord? Anything at all?"
