Annah furrowed her brow at me skeptically.<br />

I expected the tailor <strong>to</strong> balk at the suggestion, but he <strong>to</strong>ok it in stride,<br />

"Perhaps. Enchanted as well, I presume?"<br />

"Of course. She's a skilled... acrobat. Something she could move freely in.<br />

That sound good, Annah?"<br />

Annah looked abashed, "Well... aye. Aye, that could fit."<br />

"And armored. I'd hate <strong>to</strong> see her hurt."<br />

"And make her mams look bigger. But <strong>not</strong> <strong>to</strong>o <strong>to</strong>p-heavy unless you can <strong>do</strong><br />

something about her legs <strong>to</strong>o."<br />

"S<strong>to</strong>w it, skull!" she looked at me with a growl, but <strong>be</strong>neath her acerbic <strong>to</strong>ne<br />

I could tell she was blushing, "I <strong>do</strong>n' need yeh ta tell me what I want, I<br />

<strong>do</strong>n't."<br />

eyebrow or pursing her lips that made you want <strong>to</strong> <strong>do</strong> things for her. You<br />

<strong>be</strong>gin <strong>to</strong> think that a lady like her shouldn't <strong>be</strong> carrying any burdens.<br />

"I have more than enough faith in Master Goncalves' abilities," Grace said<br />

simply, "I trust that they are more than satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry."<br />

Annah stepped out from the changing room, posing this way and that,<br />

swaying her hips and testing the way the cloth held <strong>to</strong> her in any way she<br />

could. The blue was a nice contrast <strong>to</strong> her rust-red hair, even if it did seem a<br />

little garish.<br />
