Suddenly, Acros appeared in front of her. Penny felt relieved to find him there, not knowing what to expect at first. “Oh, there you are!” She exclaimed, reaching out for him with her hand on his shoulder, almost as if to check that he was real.<br/><br/>Acros wiped some hair from his forehead, which made Penny aware of the fact that it had been sticking to his skin a moment prior. She had to wonder how she looked, after her sexcapade side quest. She released his shoulder and took a breath when he inquired about her time away.<br/><br/>“Yeah, I was beckoned into a side quest with an NPC. And you weren’t there anymore. It was so… strange.” She realized she could have used multiple words to describe what it was, and strange only scratched the surface.<br/><br/>Now that she was wearing a purple tunic style dress and simple, matching shoes, she felt a lot more comfortable simply existing in the virtual world. In fact, looking Acros over made her appreciate him even more. He looked just as good naked as he did with simple clothing.<br/><br/>“Well, where were we?” She mused, positioning a thumb over her shoulder, silently pointing toward the city in the distance. “Did you want to head to the Capital?” The only reason she knew it was called that was because her map said as much, when she was searching around her inventory, before.
