As another needle pricked her through the fabric draped over her slender frame, Nisha couldn’t help but wince
Not that it happened frequently, but ever since Aubrey insisted on helping her older sister, Linda, out with fixing up a new dress for their guest, the a certainly increased
“I still don’t understand why I need a whole new set of dresses What’s wrong with my current wardrobe?”

Not allowed any excuses, she was quickly stripped of the sky blue suirl had tailored herself while still living in the cottage on the hunting grounds, and was forced to model diverse fabrics as the artisan hidden inside Linda’s soul made its appearance
Pulling out differing layouts andit off to Mary to work on the actual cuts, Aubrey who, of course couldn’t accept being left out while her adorable friend was left to the devices of her two older siblings, joined in on the work even when it was apparent that she didn’t have any talent in tailoring
At least the needles can’t hurtit on purpose I’ll have to warn her sisters to never let her near an actual custoh
“Of course there’s so, but for the capital, this dress is far too plain If I let you leave dressed in soht as well just give up the trade then”
Okay, I definitely don’t like that glint in her eyes
With a bad prehter around her body
“That doesn’t tellat all! Explain it more clearly!”
Giving a short and h, Linda handed another bundle of vibrant materials to Mary, who never ceased to cut and sew, nothe mountain became
“Well, strictly speaking your dress isn’t all that bad When I say plain, I ns used when it was created In a village or a small outpost, no one would lose a word about the way you dress, and that’s fine there

Pulling the needles fro the fabric for further steps, Linda released the cheerful dragon fro her the outward appearance of a delicate figurine
As the happy elven girl took off the coarse [Cotton Wool], a material that was harvested at the farely loose and unfitting sheet of clothing brushed the dark red and black scales sticking out above her lower undergaron
Draining away all other sensations, disabling her [Spirit Sight] and slowing her perception of tihts on the three girls inside the room
Instead of a friend and her sisters, their exposed flesh represented an unbelievable te two sharp points on each jaw, a sot ready to devour these bundles of rosy flesh and life around herself
Ready to pounce on her prey, a reddish hue do her vision, Nisha almost ripped into theon as prepared to feast on the life around her Having picked up her blue su her to stagger off her small pedestal
“Don’t run around naked here, you never knohen a customer comes in”
The warning broke her out of her trance, resulting in big blinking eyes as the realization sunk in for the elven girl

Unable to come up with an answer, she quickly pulled her dress over her head, hiding her reddening cheeks from her friend and her family
“With that out the way, follow me, Nisha! I’ll show you to my room!”
