He had been here for a while it seemed. She took note of that as she gave a sweet smile. "Do you know how to get markings removed? I am needing one removed and soon." She said softly as she covered her shoulder up with her hand. There was nothing she could do. Rey was taken and she couldn't get him back. He was gone for good. She smiled sweetly at the male. She was glad he didn't mind her being so hands on. "Well then special occasion will need to be made for you to wear my clothing. We don't want them being ruined. Of course, I can always make you work clothes as well." She gave a sweet giggle as she scooted in closer. She was getting a feel for what kind of fabric would work with his body.

He soon mentioned that her fish cakes were amazing. She blushed as she looked to the side. "They are still a bit shy of being like my mothers but I still try. I would love to make you more food if you would allow me." She said as she took his hand. She felt like she was making a new friend. Her eyes glittered. She closed her gold eye as she peered at him with the blue one. He soon asked if he should leave. She shook her head as she didn't want him to leave.

"No please don't leave. I am wanting to know you more. I would love if we could be friends. I thought I had a friend here but I may have been wrong. So please, please be my friend." She didn't want to be left alone. She was still getting used to Eoana. She was unsure and feared to be alone most of the time. She has been known to bring in bad people who she normally fought off but she wanted to be on her best behavior and not cause a fight. She wanted this to be her forever home. She squeezed his hand as she looked at him. She bit back her tears as she looked down at their hands.

Her question in regard to getting her mark removed surprised him. Wasn’t that a mating mark? If it wasn’t, then why did she have such an obvious tattoo? It was puzzling and intriguing to him. “I don’t know a way of removing a tattoo…but it can always be covered up with a different mark.” He said with a small nod. It would have to be a bit bigger and much darker, but it was possible.

He smiled at her words, she really seemed to want to have him wear her clothes. He wasn’t a fancy man and he certainly didn’t think he’d necessarily wear them all that well, but she was the artisan. If she believed he would do her clothes justice, then he would wear the attire proudly. He was also touched by her offer to make work clothes for him. It was a sweet sentiment. “I will do my best to do the clothes you made, justice, M’Lady…and I will gladly take the offer for new work clothes. I am actually in need of some new shirts…and slacks.” He said a bit sheepishly. He would of course pay her for everything, he knew she had to make a living and he wasn’t freeloader.

When she further offered to cook for him, he felt his cheeks flush in a light blush. The more she spoke, the more he had to wonder if she was really mated to someone. It was one thing to thank someone for doing a good deed and it was another to court someone… “Your food is lovely, Leonora and…I would like to share a meal with you again sometime, if you’ll allow me.” Was he used to females ogling him while he worked? Yes. Was he used to them offering to make him clothes and food? Nope. He was a ‘look don’t touch’ type, it seemed. Women liked to keep him at a distance, and for good reason – he was bad luck.

As she took his hand and asked him not to leave, he felt his blush deepen and his mouth go dry. Nodding a bit, he offered her a small, sheepish smile. He wasn’t used to this. He could forge metal like no other, he was strong and capable, but when it came to females, especially lovely shifter females, he was weak. “I would love to be your friend, Leonora…truly. I want to get to know you better.” He truly did, she was a lovely woman and one that needed to be protected. If her ‘friend’ had let her down, he would step up and watch out for her in his place

He knew he needed to cheer her up. So, he blurted out the one thing he could think of. “Now, since I’m here…and the shop isn’t busy, why don’t you show me these clothes you’d like me to wear?” He said with a warm, friendly smile.

Leo had already gotten clean in her bathing chambers. She put on a simple red looking dress and some simple flats for her feet. Placing on her cloak she headed out for her shop. Her shoulder-length hair had been pulled up into a bun with red rose accessories. Last night she had spent time with Leon. She watched as he worked. She had always been fascinated by hard working people. She liked seeing people work with their hands since she also works with her own hands. She hummed as she walked to her shop. She needed to do more work on that jacket requested of her yesterday. She had also sent a few outfits home with Leon for him to wear on special occasions as well as some clothing for when he was working in his forge.

She walked into her shop as she looked at the dyed rabbit fur. She walked over to see if it was dry. She grabbed her needle and thread as she began to sew the pieces of fabric together so the colors went purple to pink and repeated. She made sure the jacket was big and long enough for the female she was guessing about. Leo was happy to do any fixes needed for the jacket if the sleeves were too short or too long. Only after it was given as a present. She looked at the earpieces before getting stumped on how she was going to add them to the fabric. Maybe she can sew them on there one small section at a time. She sat down at her counter as she began to pull apart small pieces of the fur slowly adding it to the fabric of the ear. She leaned in as she made sure they were close so no spots were gapped open. She gave a yawn as she looked to make sure some tea. She grabbed some water and warmed it. Putting in some butterfly pea flowers she let it seep.

She was warm in her shop. She doesn't know what she would do if it was cold. She wouldn't be able to function properly. She reached up and scratched her ear. She purred softly as she kept her tattoo covered with her clothes. She sighed as she laid her head down. She had a few things she needed to get done. She gave a smile as she kept working. She couldn't give up now. She was being counted on by a small shifter. Leo kept at her work while sipping her made tea.

Leon, a few shirts in hand, headed for the Floating Lotus. He felt a flutter in his chest with each step closer he came to the lovely little tailor shop. Leonora, after their chance encounter the day before, had insisted that she help him carry all the outfits she’d graciously given him as thanks for his good deed, back to his workshop. He could have easily handled taking them himself, but he couldn’t deny her request.

After placing all the outfits away, he’d given her a tour of his home and then his workshop, which was conveniently connected to his house. There had been a few things he’d needed to finish, and Leonora, interested in his work, had requested to stay and keep him company. Again, not one to deny a lovely shifter female, he’d agreed. They’d spent the evening talking by the warmth of his forge as he worked and eventually had shared a simple meal of roasted fish, potatoes and carrots together. He’d insisted on escorting her back to her shop afterwards with the promise that he would try on all of the outfits she’d provided once he returned home.

Now, he was heading back to the shop to bring her the items that hadn’t quite fit him. He was broader in the shoulders than most men – one of the ‘side effects’ of being a blacksmith. He was more muscular than most, given how much he worked with his hands, but Leonora hadn’t seemed to mind. He hoped, that she wouldn’t mind altering the shirts to fit better – the last thing he wanted to do was rip them.

As he opened the door to the Floating Louts, he was quick to close the door behind him to block out the cold. Looking towards the work table, he caught sight of a vision that nearly stopped his heart. The fluttering in Leon’s chest only got worse as she looked up at him and smiled. “Good Morning, Leonora…I hope I didn’t catch you at a bad time…” He said a bit sheepishly as he stood just within her shop.

She continued to work as her mind was on the task before her, but soon her nose caught the scent of a blacksmith. She turned the moment the door opened. How could she forget the scent of the man who helped find her bag? She put her needle down on a small piece of fabric as she walked overseeing he was carrying a few of the shirts she had given him. She tilted her head as she had a feeling they didn't fit him right? she hummed as she walked over. "Good morning Leon?" She immediately began to run her hands under his cloak as she took a feel to how loose his shirt was at the moment. She began to unbutton his shirt. as she looked closely at it. Her eyes catching bare skin but she kept herself professional. Deep down her heart was racing at the sight.

"Take your shirt off and put on the other shirts so I can mark where it needs to be taken out. I am positive that might be your problem. Am I right or do you like carrying around shirts?" She teased as she motioned for him to take it off. She waited patiently. When he removed his cloak and his shirt. She watched him with intriguing eyes. She smiled as she watched as he could barely button the top buttons. Leo walked over as she went behind him. His muscles in his arms were too big for the sleeves. It seemed any overexaggerated movement would rip it apart. Her eyes glancing at him as she let them fall a little lower than his shirt. She had to admit he had a nice butt for a male shifter.

She reached around him with her yarn so she could measure his chest. She was shocked at how big his pecks were. Her breasts smooshed against him as she tried to get her small arms around him from the back side. She struggled a little before finally reaching the other end of yarn. She made sure to cut it a little longer to make sure when she sewed a new shirt he would have plenty of room to move. She looked at his shoulders. Geez, what was this guy? He seemed like a machine of a man. Instead of a blacksmith, he should have been a guard captain. He is not scrawny in the least. "Leon flex for me so I can see how much room the sleeves need for you." She waited as she began to measure his flexed muscle. Her mouth dropped over before she hurried and gained her composure. She did the same with her measurements as she did for the chest. She made the yarn longer so she could make the shirt bigger in the areas it needed to be.

"Are you busy today? I hope you don't mind to be my model so I can sketch out how the shirts will lay on you. You don't mind spending time with me do you?" She asked sweetly as she poured him some tea that she had made earlier. As she poured him a cup of the blue colored tea from the butterfly pea flower she brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear with her free hand. She put some honey in it for him as she scooted it over to him. "I do ask you keep your shirt off so I can get all the right measurements and an idea of your structure." She boldly said as she again tried to keep it professional but was making a man be shirtless professional or was it her own fantasies? Who knows. She just wanted to see him. She soon noticed his tail as she got up and touched it. She had never seen a tail like that before. What kind of shifter was he? He had no ears in his long hair. She was curious about him.

Leonora didn’t hesitate to come over to him when she caught sight of him. She uttered a quick ‘Good Morning’ before she got straight to business. Without another word her hands slipped into his cloak to feel around at the fabric of his shirt. Caught off guard by this, Leon’s cheeks deepened in a blush as her delicate hands moved over him. Then, as she stepped closer to unbutton his shirt, his mouth opened and closed several times, much like a fish, as he tried to find something to say to her.

“M-My shirt? Oh, yes…” Leonora was right on the ball about the fit of the shirts, but she was a professional tailor after all - She knew what she was doing. Hanging up his cloak, he reached down to pull his shirt up and over his head in one swift motion. While he was normally fairly confident with his physique, with Leonora’s eyes on him, he felt a bit self-conscious. Would she notice the scars that riddled his chest and back? Would she think him hideous? Or possibly weak for sustaining such injuries? He didn’t want to ponder it too much…

He was quick to fold up his shirt before reaching down to grab one of the others. It was tight against his biceps, his shoulders and upper chest. When he attempted to button it up all the way, he didn’t get past his rib cage before the fabric refused to pull any tighter. Leonora was quick to move around him, surveying the fit of the fabric. Standing there, still as a statue, he tried not to breath in her lovely scent, but it was impossible. As she moved, it seemed to engulf him, lulling his senses into a relaxed state as he stood there, her light touch moving over his torso.

Leon was drawn from his thoughts as Leonora got to work with her measuring. Feeling her arms come around him, it took everything in him not to groan as he felt her press against his back, her breasts smooshing into him from behind. With his eyes closed and his lower lip caught in his teeth to prevent him from groaning, he was surprised to hear her next request. She wanted him to flex? Not one to deny an order from an artisan, he lifted his arms and flexed his bicep. The fabric of the shirt pulled and strained, the seams bulging a bit.

Once she was finished with his arms, she came around to measure his chest, which he couldn’t help but puff out a bit. Her words, her requests were so lovely. Yes, he did have a few things to do tonight, but nothing that couldn’t wait for a few hours at least…Leonora wanted to spend time with him and he didn’t want to say no. Watching her pour tea, he smiled a bit to himself. “I have a few things to do today, but nothing that can’t wait until later.” He answered as he removed the constricting shirt and folded it for her, placing it on her work table.

He bushed at her next words. She wanted him to keep his shirt off? Blinking a bit in surprise, he nodded and smiled a little to himself. Did that mean that she wanted to see him shirtless? He was sure that she could get her measurements just as well if he wore his own shirt, but again, he couldn’t deny the request of a fellow artisan, she was the tailor after all, not him. Besides, he kind of liked the idea of her wanting to ogle him a little. Taking a sip of his tea, he was surprised when Leonora reached out to touch his tail.

He could tell that she was curious about him. The look in her eyes was clear – she wanted to know what kind of a shifter he was…Leon didn’t like to talk about it, especially not with females. In his limited experience with shifter females, they'd take one look at his dark form and balk, not expecting it and not liking that he wasn’t golden like he ‘should be’. That was all it took for females to lose all interest in him. Would Leonora be the same? Would she take one look his beast form and scowl in disgust? “I’m a lion shifter…” He said, answering her unasked question. Sipping his tea, he knew that she’d put two and two together quickly – his tail was pure black, and yet he was a lion shifter.

“I’m what my former Pride called, ‘an outcast’, or ‘a bad omen’.” He said with a sigh and a deep frown. Those were the nicer things they’d called him. He wasn’t about to tell her the real insults they’d thrown in his face all his life. No, Leonora was a proper Lady, and she didn’t need to hear such vulgar words.

His scars did not go unnoticed and neither did the blush. She stopped looking at him. A lion shifter? She smiled as she had seen lion shifters a few times but never with a black tail. He was a rare one indeed. She listened to what his old pride had called him. Her smile leaving her face as she scowled. She wasn't upset by his coloring she was disgusted by what he was told in his pride. A pride should work in unison not outcast another. So that would explain his scars. Did they attack him? She cleared her throat. "There is nothing wrong with being a darker color than others. I am a melanistic leopard. A pride should care for each other. What heartless people." She would love to see his shifted form at some point. She was not one to judge based on the color of the fur. Her eyes were sincere.

Standing up she needed to add something else to what she was saying. "Also your scars are a sign you put up a good fight. You didn't give up on what you believed in." She said only speaking her own opinion. She had no idea where his scars had actually come from or how he acquired them but they were there and that made him a unique person. She sat down as she began to draw him out. She didn't view herself as a panther but as a leopard who was black. Yes, it was more common for her to be black than lions but she didn't like that gold color of the high and mighty ones anyways. Learning more about Leon was proving to be a plus. He was different than others. She couldn't help herself. She leaned in, laying a quick peck on his lips. She blushed before she went back to her seat and began to draw a sketch of Leon.

She was hiding her blush the best she could. She was in one of her plain-looking outfits and trying to make a move on a shifter who could be taken. The last she wanted was to have a crush on another shifter who is claimed for. She sighed inwardly as she made eye contact a few times with him as she gave a small smile. She was nervous he would be upset with her. Why did he make her get butterflies in her stomach? She hid it well trying to be a professional with her work but deep down her stomach was fluttering making her a little sick. "I am sorry. You are probably already loyal to a shifter. Maybe I should be more careful with things." She tried to pass it off with a giggle as she finished his body profile. She rubbed the back of her neck as she looked at it. He was allowed to stick his shirt back on if he wanted.

"Do you have any cubs? I would love to make their clothes as well. Even for your mate. They should be in the finest." She wasn't one to normally assume such things but after seeing Rey again and the huge mistake she had made well she would hate to relive that embarrassment. Maybe she should cover the fox with a huge lotus flower. The would be the best idea. Fill her house with chickens and let them run around while she turns into an old maid. The thought and image made her laugh. No she would never end up like that. She will have a family. She just needs to grow up a little first. Maybe.

Seeing Leonora’s scowl, for a moment he thought that she was scowling at him, that she thought he was awful. But then she spoke, and he felt his anxiety ease. Blinking a bit in surprise, he blushed a little. She was a melanistic leopard? She was of a darker color as well? He’d never met another shifter that wasn’t their ‘natural’ color. The sincere look in her eyes melted his heart. He didn’t know what to say…Leonora was so different, so lovely. She didn’t judge him as others did…

At the mention of his scars, he shied away a little. He had put up a good fight – the fight for his life in fact, but that didn’t mean that he enjoyed her seeing them. However, it seemed that Leonora didn’t mind them…Lost in thought, he didn’t realize how close Leonora was getting until she leaned in close and placed her lips against his in a quick, fleeting kiss. Eyes wide, he blushed deeply, speechless. Leonora was quick to pull away, a blush on her cheeks as well. Without a work she went back behind her work table to begin her sketches, a light blush on her cheeks.

Gently touching his lips, he found himself wishing that the kiss hadn’t been so quick. He’d been so caught off guard that he hadn’t registered how soft her lips were against his, or how warm. He wanted another taste, a long, lingering kiss. Sipping his tea, he tried to hide his blush and his grin. She’d kissed him! He didn’t know what that meant in the long run, but he hoped that it meant that she was open to being courted…

However, as she worked, it seemed that she came to the conclusion that he might be mated. Despite not having a mating mark, at least not a visible one, she thought that he might have a mate. As she apologized for the kiss and asked if he had cubs that she could make clothes for, he shook his head quickly, not wanting her to get the wrong idea about him.

“N-No, Leonora…I don’t have any cubs waiting at home. I’m not mated.” He clarified, putting his tea cup down to look her in the eye. His cheeks were still pink, but the look in his eyes was heated. He didn’t look at her like a friend, or an acquaintance, he was looking at her like a man would look at a woman, a woman he was attracted to.

Coming around the side of her work table, he moved a bit closer to her. Reaching out he gently brushed a few stray strands of hair away from her face. Leonora was lovely…probably the most lovely shifter he’d ever met. “Im not mated…” He whispered, his gaze moving from her eyes to her lips. He wanted to kiss her, he wanted to taste her lips and feel their warmth and softness.

But his gaze moved to the spot where he knew her tattoo sat on her shoulder and he had to ask if she was mated. He didn’t think she was, but that mark meant something to her. “Leonora…I…I wont lie, I want to court you…but that mark on your shoulder…It means something to you.” He didn’t want to over step his bounds. Yes, she’d kissed him first, but that didn’t mean he could take liberties with her. “Would you…be alright if I courted you, Leonora?” His heart was being rapidly in his chest. He felt his anxiety fluttering again. He hoped she wasn’t taken, but he wouldn’t be surprised if she were – what male wouldn’t want such a lovely shifter for his own?

She glanced at him when he began to walk around her work table. She pressed herself into the corner as she looked at him. She watched as his eyes lowered a little as she felt her heart began to race some more. What was he doing? His gaze was one of want and the thing he wanted was before his eyes. Her butterflies started up as she was now showing she was nervous. He stated not once but twice he had no mate. Was he hinting at something? His gaze soon going to her shoulder as she hurried to cover the spot even though it was not visible to any eyes to see. He knew where it was and that made her feel like she was nothing more than a marked object. She shouldn't have gotten it as a remembrance of Reynard. She was stupid. Very stupid.

Her eyes soon grew wide. Did she hear him right? Did he want to court her? He was the first to ask to court her. Normally people tried to take what they wanted. Her wrestling with Rey helped her out a lot when she was growing up. She was able to defend herself. She opened her mouth as she closed it shortly a few seconds later. She held a hand to her stomach as she looked into his eyes. He soon brought up her mark as she shook her head. "It did mean something to me, but not anymore. He has already found someone else. I was too late to the game." She held back her tears as she felt showing her emotions will make her weak. She looked at Leon as she heard him mention courting her once more.

He was serious. He really did want to court her. It was not a joke the look that he gave her was one of sincerity. He wanted her to be his. "L-L-Leon I-IIIIII w-would love for y-you to c-c-ccourt me." She soon got a stutter as she felt her butterflies rising in her stomach. Dear lord, she wanted him just as much but a shifter male should always make the first move right? She wished her mother would have taught her more when she was growing up. She laid a hand on his bare chest as she touched him differently than before. "Leon do you really want me even with another mark on me? I can have it changed to a lotus or something." She said as she grabbed his arm with her small hands.

Her nerves shaken gave her the hiccups as she tried holding her breath but a few hiccuping squeaks left her. Her small hands were trembling as she waited for him to kiss her now. That was what men did when they wanted to court someone right? She became shy all of a sudden as she adverted her eyes of his chest. Her cheeks lighting up as she bit her bottom lip. Man what was happening to her right now? Was she moving to fast? No she was moving at the right pace. Rey was taken so why couldn't she be as well? She was young and was given a chance for a mate.

Leon didn’t know whether to feel relieved that she wasn’t taken, or jealous of the guy that Leonora had thought she’d mate with. She’d obviously felt deeply enough for the male to have his mark tattooed into her lovely skin. How could the male have denied her? What had happened? Leon found that he wanted to know, and yet, at the same time he didn’t. Leon wasn’t used to courting females, he rarely tried given how they normally reacted when finding out about his beast form. But he found that he wanted to woo Leonora. He wanted to show her why he was a good male…why he might make a suitable mate for her.

Seeing the unshed tears in her eyes broke his heart and made him want to march out into the snow to beat down the male who’d dared hurt her. But as she looked up at him and began to stammer her reply, he felt his heart fill with hope. She would allow him to court her. This was the first step toward winning her heart, to making her his mate. As she placed her hand on his chest, he sucked in a quick breath. He wanted so much more from her than that simple touch, but he needed to be a gentleman. He needed to take things slowly and show her that he was a good man, a decent man.

He could see her uncertainty and she soon voiced her anxiety about the mark. Yes, she was ‘marked’, but that didn’t mean she was an unwanted female, not in his eyes. As she grasped his arm, he reached out to cup her cheek in his large palm. Her nervous hiccups had to be the cutest thing she could have done in that moment. When she nibbled her lip, he smiled gently.

“I cannot tell you what to do to your body, Leonora…that is only a decision that you can make for yourself.” Did he hate seeing that tattoo on her shoulder? Yes. Would he continue to hate it even if she agreed to be his? Of course. But did he want to order her to change it? No. Leonora was the master of her own fate and as such, she was free to do whatever she liked to her body.

Gently brushing her cheek with his thumb, he smiled down at her. He truly wanted to kiss her lips, but again, he didn’t want to rush things. So, instead of stealing a kiss, he leaned in to kiss her cheek for a long, lingering moment. “You are lovely, Leonora.” Pulling back, he smiled down at her.

“If you’re free…I'd love to make dinner for you tonight.” If he was going to court her, he needed to show her that he was a good man, that he had valuable qualities. “Or, if you prefer, I can take you out someplace…” Maybe she would prefer to go to a tavern, or something of that nature. In any case, he wanted to spend time with her.

At this point, she had already made up her mind. She wanted the fox covered. She will put a lotus over it for her shop. It was nice he didn't want to force her into changing her body but she already had planned on hiding the fox. No need to keep someone else's mark when he is taken. His hand was on her cheek as she looked at Leon. She had no idea what was happening but her heart was racing. She slowly leaned her head into his hand as she smiled. They weren't moving too fast were they? She took a deep breath to try and ease her butterflies. She blinked as she was asked out for dinner. She looked at her list of things she needed to do today. She was an organized person but once the shop closed she had nothing else to do.

"I have nothing planned after my shop closes. We can have dinner then. I would love to taste your home-cooked meal." She always liked a man who could cook and clean. Especially since she does a lot in the shop as well. She reached up and lightly touched where he had kissed her cheek. So he was a gentleman as well. She felt her cheeks warm up from embarrassment. She would have never thought the hunky blacksmith would be interested in her. She was happy. Wait what will she wear? She needs to decide on something pretty. Maybe she has something in the shop she could change into. She wanted to look nice for him.

Leonora's eyes gleamed as she looked at Leon. Her hair fell from the small roses that were holding it up. Short shoulder length hair was now covering her face slightly. "Will you pick me up from here. I will be ready and be waiting for the closing time. I am already excited." Her eyes looking down at her work table as she nodded to herself. She will also make sure his shirts are ready. A man needs his shirts. Especially if they get dirty a lot. She needed to go to the bookshop as well. Maybe there is more information in scrolls on how she can cover her tattoo. Maybe someone can help her. She hoped someone could help her.

When Leonora accepted his invitation to come to his home for a home cooked meal, he couldn’t help but smile wide. Heart racing, he blushed a little, his mind suddenly racing with all of the things that he needed to do in order to prepare for the evening. Unfortunately, if they were going to spend the evening together, it meant he’d have to leave now to get his work done prior to coming back to pick her up. But the trade off seemed well worth it.

“Wonderful…I’ll gladly pick you up here, Leonora…” He said with a wide grin, his fangs clearly showing – something that he rarely allowed to happen. But he was so happy, that he hardly noticed the slip. Taking her hands, he grasped them gently before lowering his head to kiss each of her hands. “I need to go finish my work for the day, but I hope the time flies by…” He truly couldn’t wait to see her again.

Giving her delicate hands a gentle squeeze once more, he released them and stepped back. Moving around the worktable, he grabbed his shirt and pulled it back over his head before grabbing his cloak and slinging it over his shoulders. “I’ll see you soon, Leonora…” Giving her one last smile, he slipped out of her shop and headed straight to the market to buy the ingredients he’d need to make her a dinner he hoped she’d never forget.

Leonora had woken early as today her shop is closed. She had ran around her home gathering things in a bag. She even grabbed the paper Fidal had wrote her to give to someone. Once her bag was packed she proceeded to get dressed. She was wearing something very simple. She wore a white blouse with a simple pair of slate grey pants. Even though her shop is closed doesn’t mean she wasn’t going in today. She had a few things she needed to do. She grabbed her bag as she walked toward her shop. Later today she wanted to see what was so interesting about the underground fight arena she had heard about when she was walking through the market yesterday after visiting Fidal. She entered her shop as she put out the open sign. She might as well get some foot traffic since she was in the store for the time being. She walked over to the jars where she keeps her berries for dyes. She gave a yawn before stretching. Looks like she needed to gather some. She untied her cloak as she walked across the floor to start a fire. Her outfit wasn’t made to be the warmest at the moment. She crouched as she poked at the fire. She wore a hood that covered everything but her eyes.

She shivered as she held her hands out. Her tail was swaying behind her. She hoped her outfit wasn’t too bad. Since she had been wearing nothing but dresses. She began to undo her arm guards. She normally wore them when she was using a bow to protect her arms but today she had no need to use a bow but the guards kept her arms warm. She stood up as she looked at a dress on a mannequin. It wasn’t even close to being finished. She sighed as she walked over to it and ran a hand across it. She had lion on the brain her original design went a little furrier than she had wanted. She ran a hand across the fur wrapping around the collar. Maybe she can deconstruct it and try again. Hopefully she can stick to her original idea. She rubbed her head still feeling under the weather. She didn’t have time for a cold she needed to continue on. She grabbed a sharp blade and began to pick at the threads that held the fur collar on the outfit. She sighed as she sat there before it. Her tail swayed as she continued to look at the dress. ”Maybe it is too sexy? I think I am overthinking it all.” She said to herself as she looked down at her notes she had scribbled out.

-- Enter --

Catherine was able to make Griselda catch up with most of the stuff on yesterday's lesson and share the cake slices before having another training session and then resting up in the dorm room. Now that today's another free day, she decided to head to the tailor shop with her beloved to find more clothes suited for the winter season. Her hand was warm as she clasped around the other's tightly, a snowflake landing on her nose since her face was mostly covered with the hood that was pulled up. And once the duo arrived near the door, the princess gave the door some moderate knocks. Hopefully, the tailor would be there soon to cater to them, unless that person was also feeling under the weather like what happened to Nova back then.

"Good morning. Is anyone here?" she asked, her voice reverberating through the wooden frame of the door. If there would be no reply, then it was best to just postpone for another time if that would be the last resort.

MADE BY VII TAN, DO NOT REMOVE

"Give service, Help the Innocent, Save the lives of friend and foe"

Yesterday Griselda helped Vana find her classroom, making sure the scarred girl was feeling better after having to deal with Gin. For everyone in Advanced Combat, they were already used to the boy's bad attitude. This was Vana's first time with someone like Gin and it clearly showed based on how she reacted. She was apologetic and scared to the point that she inadvertently activated her raiment. Fortunately some of the classmates, including Griselda herself, managed to calm her down. After making sure Vana was feeling better and safe in the right classroom, Advanced Combat had ended. Griselda missed the lesson, but surely Catherine will be able to provide her with the key points of it. The commoner did not go back the dorm room right away. Since she still had everything she brought with her to the classroom, mainly her sword and shield, she had made her way to the training area at the academy and practiced for two hours before returning to the dorm room. Catherine had brought cake, given to her by their professor. After having cake, she left to train on her own while Griselda bathed and went over the key notes on teamwork. Not much else happened after that besides sharing some poetry she had written, something Catherine seems to enjoy listening with every new bit of writing Griselda does.

Catherine had a surprise today for the two of them. She intended on doing some shopping today, specifically to acquire more winter clothes for them to last throughout the season. Griselda has a little bit of extra money to spend, and she hopes that it will be enough to get whatever she might end up getting from the shop. After bathing, getting dress and braiding her hair, she left the dorm room with Catherine. The first stop is The Floating Lotus Tailor Shop. An odd name for a shop is what Griselda thought, but Catherine is known to have good tastes and great instincts, so there is a good chance that they will both find something they like here. Griselda not picky about what she wears, but what she wears is largely based on her tiny budget. Catherine knocked on the door a few times and called out lightly to someone who may or may not be in the shop. Griselda took note of the sign that indicated the shop is open and said,

"U-Um...the sign says it is open...t-there has to be someone in there...m-maybe..."
