Lady Madison entered the shop with Shalista and looked around. There were a number of sexy armors all over the place. "Hmm, can I really do it? Can I really buy sexy armor?" She was one of Empora's mightiest warriors, after all.
"Aww, don't tell me you're getting cold feet," Shalista said.
"I'm thirty-two years old," Lady Madison said. "This is something that slutty women and nineteen-year old wear."
"I'm thirty-three," Shalista said, pointing to her lean, sculpted body. "I always say if you've got it, flaunt it because one day you won't have it. As for being slutty...there's nothing wrong with tanning some hides and melting men's hearts. And like you said before we came in, you won't be wearing it in public."
Lady Madison took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. "You right...and did you say thirty-three."
Shalista nodded. "Yep, I'm older than you. Now great in there and buy some sexy armor."
"Yes," Lady Madison said. "Sexy armor."
Then, a worker came over. "Hello and welcome to The Novelty Armor Shop. Is there any..." He stood mouth agape for a moment. "Could it be?" He looked her over. "Lady Madison is in my store! Oh, how long I've waited for this day! Can I help you find anything?"
Crap. He recognized her. She looked to the door, only to see Shalista standing in the way. "I can't do it. Get out of way."
"You can," Shalista said. "Stop being so weird about it. You're supposed to be in your thirties."
Lady Madison turned back around and asked the clerk, "do you have something sexy, but modest?"
The clerk laughed. "Define modest."
She grabbed Shalista, turned her around, and pointed to her butt. "Something that covers more than this."
Shalista giggled. "Jealous?"
The clerk nodded. "Yeah, I got something you might like. Follow me."
She did so and was led to what looked like a bra and panties made of iron. "Those are some nice underwear. So, where's the armor?"
"But it's what you wanted," the clerk said. "It's sexy, while still providing more coverage the what your friend is wearing. It comes with matching knee-high boots and elbow-length gloves. It can be yours for the low cost of twenty gold."
It did look good and she would only wear it at home. "I'll take it."
The clerk smiled. "Okay, let's get you fitted to make sure it's not too small. And do you want it wrapped up or will you be wearing it out."
"Wrap it!" she said quickly.
Afterwards, Lady Madison hit the streets, with her new armor in a bag and her new friend in tow. She looked down at her shopping bag and smiled. "I did it. I bought sexy armor. I can't wait to get home and try it on."
"I can't wait to see you in it," Shalista said. "We'll be the Sexy Armor Sisters."
"No," Lady Madison said. "We won't."
"Aww!" Shalista whined. "Anyway, what kind of house does a mighty warrior like you live in. Someone as renowned as you must live in a palace."
As they came to the path that led to the Ellis House, she said, "You'll see soon enough. We're almost there."
When they made it to the end of the path, Shalista's jaw dropped. "No way. You really live here?"
"I do."
"I would love to have a house like this," Shalista said. "It must be so much fun."
"It is when I'm here," Lady Madison said. "Fortunately our enemies to the north have been quiet, so I've been able to lay my head here more often. And I'm on vacation right now, so I don't have to leave if I don't want to." She remembered that Shalista said she was a traveler. "By the way, do you have a place to stay."
"Not yet," Shalista said. "I was looking for a place when I came across that armor shop. I spent hours in there deciding what to get and when I came out, there you were."
"Why don't you stay here until you get ready to set out again?"
"Really?" Shalista asked. "But I don't know exactly when I'll be leaving. Besides, we only just met. How do you know you can trust me?"
"It's no big deal," Lady Madison said. "I'll be here by myself until my servants get back from vacation, so I could use the company. And if it turns out you're treacherous...let's just say I'm confident your skills are no match for mine."
Shalista touched her chest and playfully said, "you wound me."
After sharing a good laugh, Lady Madison said, "I hope you're hungry. You'll see that I'm not just phenomenal in the martial arts, but the culinary arts as well."
