[Karla is back from the mission, and she is glad for it. The desert heat had gotten to her, and it was more than she could bear. As far as she's concerned, the mission was hollow to her. She didn't get any stronger from it, and she didn't pay much attention to what was going on with the Iron Eye or the Malnosso.]

[Now that she's generally recovered, she pays a visit to the clothing shop to explore the various ladies' clothing. Quite interesting, all the different fashions here in Luceti. She decides to try on a few dresses and see how comfortable they are and how well she can move in them. Among some of the dresses she tries are this, this, and this. Catch her in the clothing shop as she emerges from the dressing room and checking herself out in the mirror. She keeps her sword sheath at her waist as usual, and while standing in front of the mirror, she'll bring the sheath in front of her and draw the sword about halfway. Then she'll draw the sword completely and assume her various poses, just to see how it feels in these dresses, and how she looks in the mirror.]

[Though he wouldn't say his opinion mattered much, Eley wasn't afraid to offer an opinion on clothing if someone asked. Of course, right now he was watching Karla posing in front of the mirror with that sword. Others might be impressed and find it appealing, but the Spirit couldn't help but wish there was something missing.

When he feels it's an appropriate time, he comes forward.]

Why not try it without the sword?

[Karla turns to face him, donning the red dress and blinking at him. She looks down at the belt which kept the sheath at her side, which was sky blue. These colors don't go well together, do they? Maybe they have belts and sheaths of other colors.]

Well, I...I always carry my sword with me, and so...

[She trails off, pondering some more. She still wants to look decent, even with her sword.]

So you wish to find something to wear alongside it. Yes... I understand. But... perhaps you should also think about a time when you do not need to carry it. I know how important fighting is for you, but should you wish to learn to relax, you must leave your weapon behind.

[He tilts his head a little, thoughtful for a moment. Never mind his own personal advice, maybe he should offer an opinion on the clothing she'd already tried.]

I believe the first one suited you well.

Leave my weapon behind? I...I can't do that!

[It's totally unthinkable!]

[With his other comment, though, Karla moves to pick it up and examine it again.]

Hmm...I suppose it wasn't bad. I could take it with me.

Yes you can. Perhaps you should try it for just one night... Put it down, put on that dress, and explore. There are several locations that you may enjoy in the evening, or so seems to be the case with others I have seen.

[And well... since things are free in Luceti, he has to add.]

Why not take all of them? Wear them whenever you feel the need and experiment.

[The first part is only met with silence. Without her sword, she would be vulnerable. Anything can happen anywhere, such as when she met that big inhuman creature at the bar, at the bar of all places! Plus she had promised to protect Effie, and she would definitely need her sword for that as well.]

[As for the dresses, Karla responds:]

Yes...I just might do that.

[And then she begins to collect the dresses into her arm.]

[...really? It was that simple? Of course, Karla's words had prompted Eley to believe she was going to try everything that the Spirit had suggested.]

If it would help you to feel safer, you could ask someone to accompany you.

[Oh, if only he knew that she was only referring to taking all the dresses. And she would try almost anything that anyone suggested.]

...I'm sorry, but I've no intention of leaving my sword behind.
