Chapter 597: Poking and prodding
“Man, you’re really… You’re starting to look like some sort of queen or something. Crown, cape, scepter, at this rate all you lack is the white horse,” Alith commented, seeing Sofia bring thing after thing out of her storage, “Do you really need all that?”
“Uh? It’s just my usual stuff? Though the ‘cape’ is new, I guess, but I’m not going to not wear a divine item, especially this one…”
“Ahah,” Alith laughed, “I’m not saying you shouldn’t wear it, just that you’re starting to look like you borrowed your style from Zerei and Ihuarah.”
“I- Hmm… Should I take off the Saint set?”
“No need to take it so seriously, Sof, I doubt anyone’s going to judge our looks out there, I’m just saying.”
“I know… I’m just a bit more self conscious about my image these days, have you seen that statue of me in the sect? It’s frankly a bit embarrassing.”
“Saying that when you’re the one making statues of everyone? Well anyway, it’s still fine, just that if you get more things you’ll need to give up some at one point. The crown and headband together is already pushing it a bit in terms of looks, but I don’t think it’s anything you should get embarrassed over. Just look at me, a talking bra, black pants and mithril boots, I have the opposite issue, basically.”
“Yeah speaking of… That’s all you’re taking?” Sofia asked, pointing at the multi-pouch belt that Alith had put on as the entirety of her preparation for the expedition.
“Hey, this thing cost me a small fortune, you know? It’s all I need, along with my weapons and this!” Alith explained, showing off her new dangling jeweled emerald earring.
