I'd still know you, not being shown you, I only need the working of my hands
Beneath a letter that offered a lengthy apology and explanation for his tardiness, Isla will find a large package containing the following items: a skyship ticket to Stormbreak, a little black dress that shimmered a subtle blue in the light with a full-length deep blue coat to ward against the chill, a 'chic' (according to Mateo) asymmetrical black and white bathing suit, and a pair of plush slippers. The note also mentioned that a room at a local inn had been booked, though there was no presumption of staying there unless Isla wanted to. Having been warned by the Botanist against confessing his love for the Remedy, Everest had simply signed the letter with his name and a few lines about how much he was looking forward to seeing her, followed by another apology.
Standing at the gangplank awaiting the arrival of the skyship from Torchline, Everest waited in the glow of one of the many lampposts that seemed to burn all the brighter for the lack of any sunlight. With a spray of small but brightly coloured wildflowers from Mateo's shop in his hands, the aviator had to keep himself from rising onto his toes as if the few extra inches would somehow help him see the arrival of Isla's ship any better.
