the general nodded in satisfaction as the basic details were settled. "how long will you need to pack up for a week-long trip? we can leave later in the evening if you prefer. it is safe enough with your group in the bus." he offered.
"i think we should be able to get ready for a trip within the next hour. we all have a fully functional system interface, so we keep the majority of our stuff in our inventory. other than the clothing and personal items we wouldn't want to take into combat with us, of course."
the general chuckled. "we can provide clothing for the meeting with the king. nobody owns the traditional cultural outfits anymore, and they're still the dress code for the throne room."
karl laughed. "you mean canvas pants and a miner's apron? i come from the lithium mines, our traditional wear is a bit unsuitable for court."
the general smiled. "i would imagine. no, the traditional royal outfits are actually quite militaristic, from the founding days of the nation, when the entire territory was overrun with monsters and magical beasts."
lotus and ophelia came out of the bath in their armour, and went to grab a few items from the bedroom. karl never left anything lying around, so he just activated [bestial raiment] to give himself a proper travelling outfit instead of his casual silk house clothes.
he stood to encourage everyone to get moving, and the general did a double take.
"that tabard. where did you get it?" he asked.
karl looked down. the spell had given him black drake scale mail armour under silver chest and leg plates, completed with the gold trimmed and tasselled darklight host war champion tabard.
"oh, it's actually a spell, not a physical tabard. it's supposed to pick what is best for the situation, and apparently the system thinks i need to impress someone. i got it during a little trip to the past when i fought a duel as champion for the darklight host." karl explained.
they could get used to him.
"sir, i believe we might have an issue. there is a blue phoenix overhead, and the bird is definitely tracking us." the driver of the bus quietly informed the general.
"that's not an issue. and he's actually a ghostfire thunderbird. one of my bonded partners." karl explained, shocking both soldiers.
"you can hear that?" the general asked.
"i can also hear the change in your heartbeat." karl agreed, choosing the way that sybil had described her overly sensitive hearing.
he could, if he paid attention, but karl was much better at tuning out background noise than the formerly deaf rogue.
while the general worked to come up with a response, the maid was scrutinizing their outfits. "sir, you are suitably dressed, as are the murim battlemage and the high priestesses. but might i ask the titanic berserker to accompany me to the back to change to formal armour?"
karl nodded and gestured to ophelia, right before rae dropped a pile of silk in her arms, pure smugness radiating through her thoughts.
[they're going to make her wear a dress under her armour. this will be hilarious.] the bloodbath spider chuckled.
[and that's exactly what you gave her, isn't it?]
[yep. it's pretty, and it will go well with whatever shiny bits of armour she has.]
ophelia sighed, resigned to her fate as she looked at the lace sleeves visible on the black dress rae had offered up for this fiasco.
