The thought of staying in one place for a long while, though, and so close to her father's properties, made her nervous and caused her to bite her lip to keep from dashing the hopefulness the words of Mairwen were spoken with. Even with how much she was enjoying herself, she was not sure yet just how long she might stay. It was easy, though, for Lena to see through the question the girls asked about what she would wear to dinner for the smiling faces they showed and the easy giggles. Smiling herself, she hated to be the bearer of unpleasant news. "Well, I must be honest with you girls, and the truth is that I've only kept a single dress with me that might do. Goodness, it has been a long while since I've dressed up for anything..." Lena felt a bit nervous as she thought about her life at home, how different it had been from her life now. The dress she'd decided to keep with her was the only real material thing she had from before the time she ran away from her father; a dark green beauty that she could not part with for all that it was her favorite as well as a present from her dear brother who had helped her escape.
Thinking about the dress and the memories it brought back to her left Lena a little teary-eyed, but she quickly wiped the moisture away and smiled to the girls. "I don't have much, but I do have a few things I could show you, and I would love to have you girls help," she answered finally, hoping that they might like even the small evidence she'd kept of a flashy, carefree like. "Let's go to my room, I'll show you all that I have."
