I walked around the store for a bit longer before I finally decided on a couple of things, and I went to the counter to pay for them.
One of the things that caught my eye was a black set of clothing.
"That will be eighty-nine gold," Marny said, and I turned back to Senna.
"Do you have any cash on you?" I asked. "I didn't bother to ask Eliza about getting paid for the Troll that I had killed."
Senna smiled and walked up to the counter beside , fishing out so coins. She handed Marny the money, and the older woman smiled.
"There you go," I said, and she counted it before she put it in the register.
"Would you like to have these sent to the manor for you?" Marny asked, and I shook my head.
"No, I will just wear them," I said. "Do you have a place that I can change?"
"Sure, this way," Marny said, leading to the back of the store.
I ended up getting a new shirt, pants, and a cloak. The shirt was black, and it had a red dragon on it. The pants were also black, and they had a red dragon on them as well. The cloak was black with a red lining, and it had a hood.
"You look good," Xieus said with a smile, and I shrugged.
"I feel like I look over dramatic, but I guess this will work for now. I do like the dragon on the shirt and down the pant legs. You did a very good job, Marny," I said as I turned to look at myself in a mirror.
"Thank you! I'm glad you like it!" Marny said with a smile, and I nodded.
"I do, thank you," I said as I started to walk out of the store.
"Co back anyti!" Marny called, and I nodded as the girls followed out.
"Well, that went pretty fast. You are a lot different than most won. I could have spent an hour looking around," Senna said as the three of us walked back to the manor carrying my clothing.
"Not . I just wanted to get in and out. I got my hair done, clothes on, and now I am ready to go!" I declared, striking my fist into the air, but Senna laughed.
"Well, I am sure that you will still have so ti to wait when you get back. Eliza is notorious for taking a ridiculous amount of ti to get ready," Senna chuckled.
"Well, I hope that she doesn't wait too long, or all the restaurants are going to be closed before we get the chance to pick one. I an, I am just as good with eating at ho if there is nowhere," I said, and Senna shrugged as we turned to walk through the manor gates.
"What took you all so long?!" Eliza asked from the steps in a beautiful red silk dress and long red gloves.
"You are ready already?!" Senna exclaid, making Xieus giggle beside .
"Looks like she only took that long if it was sowhere, she didn't want to go!" Xieus whispered and then disappeared but with no blue smoke this ti.
[Thank you for the wonderful ti today, but I will leave you with Eliza now.] Xieus said, and I nodded to myself and then looked up at Eliza with a smile.
"You looked absolutely beautiful in that dress! I can't stop smiling when I look at you!" I laughed, and Eliza smiled brightly, making her even prettier.
"Thank you! I really like your haircut, and the clothing is very different. I an, I have seen people wear stuff like that, but it is not very popular. Everything together on you really makes you look a lot different than any woman I have ever seen," Eliza said as she walked over to and Senna, who stepped away from .
"Yeah. The clothing is a bit ostentatious, but they aren't that bad. The rest of the stuff there really wasn't to my liking. I might have to consider getting a seamstress to join my party in the future. I can see myself going through many pairs of clothing," I said as Eliza linked elbows with .
"I second that! I would love to have my own personal seamstress! We could get a hairstylist too! Your hair is always growing, right? Did you like Cindy?" Eliza asked. "She isn't the only one in town, but she is my favorite! Cindy can be a bit chatty, but as you can see, she does a great job!"
I could see where this was going, and soon I was going to be a traveling caravan, but that wasn't horrible. If the other islands were not going to be friendly, then I might have a hard ti getting a hold of basic anities. Having people that could provide the services I needed with wouldn't be a bad thing.
If I set everything up right, I could have the denizens from the islands coming onto my ship to buy things. I could set it up like a floating… mall… yeah, that was the word for it. This would be much more than just a marketplace.
"What are you thinking about?" Eliza asked , and I grinned, pulling out of my thoughts.
"I like your idea of bringing people with us. Let's talk and walk," I said as we turned to leave.
"Where do you want to eat?" Eliza asked, and I shrugged.
"That, I do not know. Just take to your favorite place to eat, and that will be fine," I said as we started to walk, and Eliza thumbed her lip.
"Hmmm, there are a few good places, but everyone should try Bella's Bistro at least once if they visit Northwall. It is a pretty popular place, but they always make room for . Perks of being the Countess," Eliza said with a smile as we walked, and I nodded.
"Best to take advantage of them while you are still here," I said.
"I wanted to ask about that. If Lady Katarina is a Blood Witch, then who is going to watch over the city while I am gone?" Eliza asked.
"We are going to talk about that and more tonight. For now, just lead the way, and let's enjoy our nice evening stroll together," I said with a grin, leaning over to kiss Eliza on the cheek.
