Sunni smiles as she enters the mask maker's shop, being careful of her full length dress. Thousands of masks cover the wall, each more intricate than the next. Feathers, ribbons, beads and gold leaf can be seen in every corner of the shop. The mask maker's eyes twinkle as he places a small box on the counter and opens it. Sunni stands there, speechless, as she looks at the delicate white mask. Silver edged lace, and sparkling gems cover the Columbina style mask. The light reflects off the gems, casting a small rainbow on the walls as she picks up the mask. Even with the feathers and ribbons adorning the mask, she finds it barely feels as if she's wearing a mask at all. Sunni laughs and twirls, feeling like a princess ready for an elegant ball. She leans over the counter, hugging the mask maker before saying "Grazie" and heads out to the Carneval.
