Chapter 38: Windfall Manor

“I was a smoking hot twenty-year-old,” said Jarra, examining herself in the mirror, “And you wanted nothing to do with me.”

“I wouldn’t say that,” I said, yawning.

“Now that I look like I’m in my late forties and have been a hard-working peasant my whole life,” stated Jarra, who looked like she’d been ridden hard and put away wet, “You can’t get enough of me?”

I shrugged. “What can I say? I like ‘em experienced.”

Jarra glared at me and stomped back into my bathroom at Windfall Manor. I could hear her begin to apply a truly prodigious amount of cosmetics. The truth was that, on Earth, I had been in my mid-forties. So was my wife. I was so used to more mature women that, if you didn’t have a wrinkle or two, I really wasn’t all that interested.

It was trickier with Master Perception, mind you. I’d known Jarra before her imprisonment. Seeing all her physical traits transferred over to her older body had taken some adjustment. She was the kind of girl who tilted her head when she was thinking, and she was doing that a lot lately. Still, as she was diligently applying her cosmetics, I realized that I didn’t mind a bit of mileage.

Mind you, EstherSasha was still way too old. Jarra might have been, without me dumping a ton of Healing Magic into her. That was only because, without magic, Jarra looked too frail and unhealthy. It seemed wrong to be with her like that. It would have felt like I was taking advantage of her. However, with a proper regiment of Regeneration, Treatment, and Body Sculpting, she was able to live a functional, healthy forty-year-old’s life. For a few hours at any rate.

“How’s Badgelor?” I asked.

“Still unconscious. He overloaded his Mana network when he did his Kaiju Form,” said Jarra, like that was the least interesting thing in the world. “I have Healing Lore, and it is a known condition. I’ve given him the proper herbs. It is just a matter of how long he remains in Badger’s Sleep at this point.”

“He needs to wake up soon,” I said, yawning and stretching my back. “There’s a storm coming in. I can feel the Dark Overlord approaching, and we’ll need to be prepared when he arrives.”

Jarra sighed loudly and turned her head a bit. “There you go again, just dropping ominous quotes from the Book of Grebthar. It’s like you don’t even know you are doing it.”

“You liked me better when I was just Jim?” I asked, grinning at her.

“He was less cocky,” she replied, deciding that another coat of something was necessary to keep her skin moist. Obviously, just magic and cosmetics weren't going to be enough to keep her alive forever, but, so far, things were working.

It wasn’t perfect, so few things were. Worse, when I got really granular with my Admin skill, I could tell she was slowly losing Radiant Mana. At the current rate of progress, she’d have six months or so.
