WATATI (Hanna)

As soon as she learned that she had been nominated for multiple awards at the Premios Músicos Mágicos, or Magical Musicians Awards—the most prominent award for those involved in the magical music industry in Argentina—Camila knew that she needed something to wear that would set her apart from the other attendees at the award ceremony. After meeting with her stylist, they had made the decision to go through the portfolios of some less established wizarding fashion designers and narrow down their options from there. Working with someone who needed the exposure to the South American market, provided that their work was actually good, would be beneficial for all involved.

Ultimately, they decided on working with Hanna Horváth, a young fashion designer who was based in the United Kingdom, too. That would make the process easier, especially when it came time for fittings. The other plus was that Camila's schedule was relatively clear in comparison to what it sometimes was. She had been taking her time getting new music out and enjoying life for once, instead of being worn out by the stress of touring across multiple countries.

Camila was eager to meet with Hanna Horváth for the first time. To keep their meeting private and from being interrupted by fans, she had arranged to meet her in an upscale non-magical London hotel suite, where she had enchanted the room upon her arrival so that she and Hanna could speak freely and not have to be concerned about maintaining magical secrecy.

Finally the day had come. Hanna had been counting down the days, hours, and minutes, until she would meet with Camila Calderon for a very important meeting. Camila's people had been in contact back and forth for a while with Hanna, but due to busy schedules, plans hadn't aligned as they should in the past. Maybe that was a good thing considering now her and Camila were meeting to speak about a gown for Camila's nomination at the Magical Musician Awards. The thought made Hanna's mouth water. She couldn't be more excited than she was now, Hanna had been dreaming about extravagant gowns ever since she got the news.

Armed with an enchanted bag full of tricks and a go-getter attitude, Hanna made her way down the bustling London street, beelining for the upscale hotel where she was to meet the superstar. Excitement and a mixture of nervousness welled in her stomach. She hoped Camila would like her, since she already knew she loved Camila and her music. She was a true inspiration. It would be a privilege to simply be in her presence. Hanna wondered if anyone else would be around for their meeting, or if she'd have Camila all to herself. Hell, she hoped it was the latter. She didn't want people watching their meeting, that would truly damper her artistic flow.

Hanna's red bottom heels clicked rhythmically on the marble floor, icy blue eyes searching for Camila's suite. Fixing her hair and checking her breath, Hanna raised a dainty manicured paw to tap on the door three times. She swallowed with a big smile, adjusting her bag on her shoulder hoping she had the right room.

The sound of knocking on the hotel room door came right on time, and Camila went to answer it. She moved to check the peephole in the door before opening it, in case someone had knocked on her door in error, but she knew that it was most likely to be Hanna Horváth there for their meeting. Upon looking through the small glass circle that allowed her to see into the hall, standing there was who she assumed had to be Hanna: A young, tall, slender blonde, who was impeccably dressed. (Given that she was a fashion designer, she obviously needed an eye for fashion.)

Relieved that she almost certainly didn't have to make conversation with a stranger, Camila then opened the door, standing in the gap of space that she had just created and smiling slightly. She hadn't expected Hanna to be so tall, though it made her look like she could have been a supermodel rather than a designer. In all honesty, she seemed like the type of person who could wear anything and make it look good. Camila could only hope that that quality would translate into her designs for her. She wasn't short, but she needed a pair of decently high heels to reach Hanna's height without them.

"Hi," Camila greeted the stranger opposite the threshold from her. "Hanna?" It would have been an incredible coincidence if someone fitting Hanna Horváth's description who wasn't, in fact, Hanna Horváth just happened to show up at the right place and time.

"Camilla! Hiii" Hanna greeted excitedly, mentally cringing at how giddy she was when she was nervous. She offered Camilla a happy smile, hoping she didn't appear to be nervous. 

Hanna stepped into the hotel room before any bystanders or fans would notice, "It's so nice to meet you." she smiled, squeezing her into a warm embrace. Hanna felt herself oozing with inspiration by being in the presence of the superstar. The blonde bounced on her heels because she was shaking from nervousness, "I'm a huge fan of your work and honored to share this exciting time of multiple nominations at the Magical Musicians Awards..." she gushed to her, hoping she didn't sound like an annoying super fan, she just truly respected the young woman. Hanna was honored to be dressing her in something she created. That would be great exposure.

"I've brought plenty of patterns and designs for you to choose from, I can't wait to share. How are you liking London?" she asked with a tile of the head, more conversationally to break the ice since she never met Camilla in person before.

The woman at her door greeted her by name, which let Camila know that she had the right person, as much of a fashion designer as the blonde—confirmed to be Hanna—had seemed. She sounded excited to meet her, though Camila didn't see that as a bad thing. While some celebrities were automatically turned off by people who came across as too eager, it wasn't an immediate no from Camila. If Hanna were to ask her for an autograph or photograph straight away, then that would be a little too much like a meet-and-greet than a business meeting for her comfort, but Camila knew that the energy she put out into the world also wasn't that of a stuffy, middle-aged businessman, either. The opportunity to work with someone who was closer to her own age and who more closely matched her personality was one of the reasons why she had chosen Hanna for the job. To go back on that within a few seconds of meeting her sounded absolutely ridiculous.

Hanna stepped inside the room, allowing them to converse without worrying about anyone overhearing them. She pulled her into a hug, saying, "It's so nice to meet you."

Camila felt likewise. She had been looking forward to meeting Hanna, and she hugged her back. "Yes, it's very nice to meet you," she agreed. Although they were meeting each other for the first time, meeting the designer felt like meeting an old friend.

That didn't keep Hanna from appearing nervous, though. "I'm a huge fan of your work and honored to share this exciting time of multiple nominations at the Magical Musicians Awards," she explained. Even with her stated excitement, she was visibly shaking. Camila was excited about her nominations, too, albeit not to the same extent.

Over time, Camila had gotten more comfortable with fan interactions and how to handle people's behavior. Hanna was hardly the first person to seem nervous in her presence. Fans could act in ways that didn't always make sense, and it had taken a while for Camila to adjust to the people who went to emotional extremes. Sometimes, they would cry or get overwhelmed by the fact that they were really meeting her. Those fans typically didn't pose any real threat to her safety, and they usually calmed down as she continued to talk with them.

"Thank you for coming," Camila told Hanna.

Speaking more specifically about why she was there, Hanna said that she had brought different patterns and designs for her to choose from, and she couldn't wait to share them. "How are you liking London?"

Although she had made London her home base instead of remaining in her hometown of Córdoba or even Buenos Aires, Camila appreciated that Hanna had asked her how she liked it. She didn't want to embarrass her, so she was mindful of how she worded her reply. "I love it," she said with a smile. "I live here most of the time."

Camila was happy to keep the conversation with Hanna flowing, and she motioned to the sitting area farther into the suite. "Please," she indicated to Hanna. She was looking forward to seeing what ideas Hanna had for what she should wear.

"London is fantastic." the blonde smiled as she set her oversized bag down on a table. Her eyes scanned the room slowly, secretly excited to see she was alone with Camilla. Hanna loved having a celebrity's attention all to herself. The blonde pulled out a large binder crammed with different textiles, glittery fabric swatches, and textured fabrics and she leafed through it as she spoke conversationally. "I moved here a couple of years ago from France but lived in Hungary most of my life. London is like no place I've ever been and I've fallen in love with the city, people, and the arts. There's a large music scene here that's unlike any place I've ever experienced. Would you agree?" she asked sweetly with a tilt of the head because Camilla was in the music industry.

Hanna's manicured fingers flipped through the large book, "Have you considered the 'mood' you want to go for?" she asked Camilla as a notepad and measuring tape floated over her shoulder. "I have some fabric and design ideas but would love to hear any ideas you may have first.." Hanna stated with an eager smile, an excited sparkle in her eye. This was her favorite part of the job. The creative design process was incredibly strenuous but always exciting. Hanna loved being creative. She knew as soon as she got started she'd obsess over the project until it was done. It was what a superstar like Camilla deserved.

Hanna wasn't originally from London, either, or from the United Kingdom. She had moved there from France, she explained, but she'd lived in Hungary for most of her life. London was full of people who were from other countries and cultural backgrounds, and Camila had only had exposure to a fraction of them. Hanna, too, stated, "London is like no place I've ever been and I've fallen in love with the city, people, and the arts. There's a large music scene here that's unlike any place I've ever experienced. Would you agree?"

"Yes, it's impressive. Sometimes overwhelming," agreed Camila with a slight laugh. There were different music scenes all around the world based on different genres and "vibes", but many of them had found a home in London. There was more of an influence from Latin America in the United States, but Camila had appreciated being pushed outside of her comfort zone.

As they chatted, Camila watched Hanna begin to flip through the pages of the binder that she'd taken out. "Have you considered the 'mood' you want to go for?" Hanna asked her, her measuring tape and notepad moving so they were at the ready. "I have some fabric and design ideas but would love to hear any ideas you may have first," she added.

Camila smiled back at Hanna. "Maybe something a little bit different?" She didn't want to do anything ridiculous; she knew of non-magical musicians who had worn absolutely outrageous outfits for the publicity, even a dress made out of slabs of meat, and she wasn't looking to do that. "Obviously, it is an awards ceremony," she continued, "so it needs to be… appropriate." Something that was out of the ordinary for her, though, would work.
