Chapter 27-Cassy
*Tink~* The moment they opened the door and entered the building, Aella could hear a bell ring above her, announcing their arrival. At first, the shop was dark, and the only light that existed in this room was the sunlight that was barely getting through the dark windows, so Aella couldn't see much at that moment.
*Tuk, tuk, tuk...*But they didn't need to wait long before the lighting issue was resolved. While trying to see something in this darkness Aella heard someone's footsteps resonating against the wooden floor, and soon after the room was lit up with light.
The light that was now lighting up the room was coming from some kind of crystals that were attached to the ceiling. With the decent light now present Aella could see the whole shop. The room itself was in similar dark tones as the outside of the building, but it wasn't all dark and gloomy, because there were plenty of clothes and accessories all around the shop.
It looked kind of mismatched because many of the clothes that were presented were in bright colors but the interior of the room itself was dark. But Aella didn't say anything and looked in the direction where the footsteps were coming from. When she looked she saw stairs that went up and someone was coming down those stairs.
First, she saw the boots, long, black leather boots with heels. Next, she saw similar black pants as the person walked down the stairs, soon after she saw the black shirt and the belt that was holding the pants. The next thing she saw was the long silver hair that ended at the person's middle back.
After a few more steps, Aella could finally see the person fully. She was dressed in all black with long silver hair and two crimson eyes, her skin was pale in color, and her ears were pointy, not as much as June's but still pointy.
''June!'' The mature woman who had a cold look on her face before, grew a huge smile the moment she saw June. The lady almost ran down the stairs to hug the blond elf.
''Cassy, good to see you too!'' June met Cassy halfway and they hugged. The hug lasted only a few moments before they separated and Cassy noticed Aella and Grefured, as both of them were just standing on the side looking at the two friends.
''Hi, Grefured.'' The pale woman first approached Grefured and started to scratch him behind his ear, and after she was done that she turned her attention to Aella. ''Hi, I'm Cassy.'' She introduced herself while she stretched out her hand for a handshake.
''Aella.'' Aella introduced herself as she took the lady's hand and shook it, and in the process, she noticed that the silver-haired beauty had crismon-colored nails.
''So what can I do for you?'' After giving a nod to Aella she turned back to June and asked for her visit.
''Right, we're here to get Aella some clothes.'' June informed Cassy of their intention for this visit.
''What are you looking for?'' Cassy's red eyes turned to Aella.
''A full outfit, shirt, pants, boots and some undergarments.'' While Aella was listing what she wanted Cassy just listened.
''Do you have any preference for style or colors?''
''I would prefer if the colors were darker shades, and if they were comfortable to move in.''
''Sure that can be done.'' While Aella was speaking Cassy went and got the needed equipment and by now was standing near Aella.
''Please stand there and take off your clothes.'' Cassy said that while pointing at a round elevated platform in the middle of the room. ''If you want I can ask June and Grefured to step outside while we do this.''
''No, it's okay.'' With that said Aella took off her cloak and hung it up on the wooden coat rack that was standing near the door, and then stood on the platform.
Cassy didn't waste any time, she took out her measuring tape and started to measure Aella's parameters, and after each measurement taken Cassy wrote the information down in what looked like a notebook. It didn't take too long before Cassy was done and had all of Aella's measurements down.
''All done.'' After she said that Cassy looked at her notebook and went over all of Aella's measurements, while Aella herself got down from the platform and went to get her cloak.
''So I have two options for you, I can make you a completely new outfit, but it would take a day or two if I make it my priority.'' Cassy talked as she looked in her notebook. ''Or I can give you one that is already made, it looks similar to what I'm wearing, I would just need to adjust something, and it wouldn't take longer than a few minutes.'' Cassy looked up from her notebook and then turned her gaze to Aella. ''So which option would you like to go with?''
''The later, the faster we do this the better, I don't know June's limit as to how long can she keep me in this world.''
''Sure just wait a moment and I will get you your outfit.'' With that said Cassy went back up the stairs, presumably to adjust the outfit, and as Aella didn't see her taking any of the outfits that were displayed here, the outfit she was talking about was probably stored upstairs. Now that all was left was to wait.
