<i>Just one more minute...</i><br/><br/>Celestine sighed. The horizon remained a flat line with no inbound vessels to be seen. There was still the possibility that the ship was late. They might have run into something unexpected.<i>Why'd they waste my time without any profit for themselves?</i>She lowered her right arm, which she had used as support while leaning against one of the thick wooden poles in central Booty Bay, and then set out for a walk. Wearing high-heeled shoes, she went rather slowly.<br/><br/>During the five days she had spent in the city, Celestine had become less and less concerned about her safety. At first she had stopped constantly looking over her shoulders, and just yesterday had let her bodyguards loose in the city, only to check with her before going to sleep at night. The ship wasn't arriving, so nothing was happening. That led her to think that nothing<i>could</i>happen.<br/><br/>As some goblins walked past her, Celestine feigned a warm smile, and cursed at them in her mind.<i>Let this be the last time I trust one of </i>those<i> creeps again.</i>She wandered past a troll, who very clearly appeared to not be trying to stop her, which made her realize afterwards that she'd walked past the bouncer into a bar.<br/><br/>Although there were no more goblins at sight, Celestine came to a sudden stop.<i>What am I doing here?</i>She felt her pulse rising as she observed the strange folk around her. Quickly resuming her walk, she took a detour into the restroom, which to her relief appeared empty. Nervously, she began adjusting her hair in front of the mirror.<br/><br/><i>Calm down.</i>When the hair was done, she opened her lipstick. It was red; nearly pink, lighter than her dress. She applied it on her thick lips, which she felt deserved the highlighting. It emphasized her beauty. She knew she was a gorgeous woman, and wasn't ashamed to let everyone else know it as well.<br/><br/>Celestine licked her lips, and then took a deep breath.<i>Now go, and walk out the door where you came from. This place isn't for me.</i>She stared at the mirror for a moment longer, and felt like her dress still needed adjusting. She had to make sure the nipples wouldn't show through the slightly thicker top portion. The dress was strapless and well supported by her breasts, which the tightly wrapped silk around her raised to look like D cup sized. It wasn't too tight, though, not to make it look like she was squeezing herself to death.<br/><br/>The nipples were fine as they were. Celestine had another similar dress that'd have let them stay clearly visible through the cloth. She hadn't used it for a long time, she realized. Now she could afford to appear less arousing. The thinner dress was from the days when she still had to do whatever she could in order to get what she wanted. And now she had it — more money than she could possibly need. Her golden earrings glimmered under her creamy white hair as she turned and exited the bathroom.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
