There isn't an ounce of excess fabric or a pocket of bad tailoring, her measurements exactly right. Every inch of silk clinging to her body like it's custom made for her. The long dark skirt is embroidered with golden designs that elegantly runs up to the low neck top. It is safe to say Dream has a sense of fashion in his way and she doesn't regret the slightest for letting him spoil her with these fancy gowns. 

It is the day of the Endless family reunion and the day Dream's trial period ends. The day which she will be betrothed to the King of Dreams and Nightmares if she wishes to marry him as the choice is in her hand, of course. 

Allowing herself an extra minute of gown appreciation before she finishes getting ready and turns to see Dream standing casually at the door frame, hands in his pockets with a kind smile, no sign of his usual cockiness. 

"How do I look?" She nervously asks, waiting for a reaction. 

Dream moves to her, his steel blue orbs capturing her appearance slowly, not missing a single detail. Then, he gently unclips her hair, letting the natural waves flow down loosely. "Perfect." 

Reverence weighs his soft assessment. Perfect. No matter how hard she tries, she has never been perfect, nor will she ever be. Still, the single word sets the butterflies... Oh, here it is. The butterfly effect. 

Once they arrive at the realm of Death, a dark skinned woman with a black tank top and slim jeans, a silver ankh which she wears on a chain around her neck runs towards Dream and envelops him in a hug which he returns with a smile. 

"It's good to see you, my little brother." Suddenly Death stops hugging him and backs away. She is looking behind him with a welcoming smile. At Ravenna. 

"This is the light of my life, Ravenna Edwards." Dream introduces his lover to his sister with pride.

"Oh dear, I waited so long to meet you." Death says, pulling her into a hug, she squeezes her tightly so much that Ravenna can barely breathe. "My brother was doing a great job hiding you all for himself." 

"It is nice to meet you." Ravenna chuckles, wrapping her arms around the second eldest Endless. "And yes, Morpheus can be a bloody prick sometimes." 

"You are quite funny." Death says, loosening her hold on the mortal and turning to her brother with utter amusement. "I like her."

"Quit fueling her." Dream rolls his eyes at his sister before placing his hand on the giggling Ravenna's lower back guiding her to the large dining room. It is all plain. Nothing more fancy or less. But there is something unique about that plain interior that Ravenna cannot pinpoint.
