“I could do that,” I said, wishing that Isilya would have made me some new underwear before tearing mine from my body. “Or I could unlock Elementailor. You have enough XP for the attribute requirements.”
“Really?” she asked. “That’s exciting. Let’s do that.”
I confirmed the necessary changes while Isilya worked. I was distracted with her skillmeister menu when her warm hands landed on my knees. She pushed my legs apart, then ran a cold measuring tape all the way up my inseam.
“Up,” she said. “I can’t do this with you on a bench.”
I complied, standing with my hands still protecting my priestly modesty. She got to her knees and ran the tape up my leg again. Her dark hair was parted down the middle. Her breath was warm against the inside of my leg.
When she stood, she put her hands on my shoulders and spun me around. She measured the space between my shoulders, then the length of my spine.
“I thought you’d have a nicer ass,” she said. “From all that running around you must do out there.”
“I don’t do much running,” I said. “It’s not like I’m an adventurer or anything.”
She placed her heel on the wooden bench and leaned over, running a hand up her thigh and past her round, firm glutes. “An ass like this takes effort. Still, even with yours, Mamba’s done well for herself.”
After that Isilya was speedy with her sewing needle and scissors, and prepared a new set of clothing for me that fit better and felt sturdier than what I wore before, even if the leather was thinner and more form-fitting.
My new black pants were a very flexible black leather while my new vest was burgundy from kobold blood. Burgundy like Mamba’s favorite wine, or like the sky that trapped Reyna in darkness.
And my new underwear? Black as well. Not a bright red thong like Isilya’s, but still soft, silky, and crafted from a material that improved my attributes.
All I had to do was grab my belongings from my old pant pockets — my map and compass, my plethorchid seedpod with two seeds in it, a pocket copy of the Free City Pact, a vial of pseudomortis, and the last lilac energem. Then Isilya was ready to show me out.
“I don’t understand,” I said. “Why pull me in here just to dress me?”
“When I saw Mamba cross into Barren Moon,” Isilya said, “I may have started spying on you all. That girl deserves better than the life she ended up with and you look like a man prepared to give it to her, but you have to survive the Chal first. Gain their respect. Earn their votes. This should help you, which ultimately helps her.
“Just remember this and you should be fine: Never show fear. Compliment the Chalmaster.
