Chapter 193: Youth (4)
“Elsi. Do you like it that much?”
“I do.”
Elsi said with a nod. The ring I gave her was hanging from her neck. It seemed impossible to fit the ring onto her characteristically furry and thick beastfolk fingers. She had looked at her fingers with some regret, but she seemed happy enough just to be able to wear it around her neck.
I reached out and touched Elsi's ring. Elsi brought her face closer, making it easier for me to touch it. I asked.
“Have you tried on the clothes?”
“I can't put them on by myself. The buttons are too difficult.”
Elsi's usual clothes must have been tailored for beastfolk hands, as the buttonholes were large enough for her cat paws to fasten them easily. But the academy school uniform boasted a tight finish with no consideration for other races, making it impossible for Elsi's clumsy dexterity to put it on neatly.
“Ask Sieri for help later.”
“The nun? Understood.”
