She was not why the small fact was so amusing but she could not suppress the giggle which rippled from out of her throat. It felt like the elf was much younger due to what she knew of the woman's perception of life and death. Either way, it seemed like the elves aged just as slowly as her own kind or lived just as long from the sounds of it. The way Nilofer spoke reminded her of Torix with his great feeling of something else being out there in the world just beyond where the sun would set each day.<br/><br/>These were the thoughts in her mind when the tailor and his wife began to take her measurements in the back ground. To their credit, they did not act on the emotion she saw in their eyes earlier. Part of her wondered if it was the lust Nilofer spoke of as if it were something simple rather than complex for her ind or just curiosity for the exotic. Odd, that she of all dragons would be considered something exotic. She tried to make their job easier by lifting her arms up and out of the way of the tape even though it was not necessary.<strong>"Something tells me some might not mind it falling off,"</strong>she murmured quietly to herself while folding her arms around her stomach. Nilofer came to stand over the woman's shoulder, watching the smooth movements of the needle in and out of the dress. Amazing how quickly the Peranos did the action without much thought or even pricking her fingertips with the sharp edge.<strong>"You are very good at that,"</strong>she complimented with a genuine smile, shoulders relaxing.<br/><br/>The sound of Nilofer brought her out of watching the woman's fingers which she could have done for hours without noticing the passage of time. It was a good thing since Safiya was seconds away from attempting the stitching of her own dress rather than just observing. It seemed as though Nilofer also decided on a new dress. Safiya had to admit the color of the dress would likely look lovely on the Peranos. Red as the scales of some cobalt dragons when under the direct lighting of the sun. "You have a good eye for colors," she complimented then turned her eyes toward the door of the shop, thinking she heard someone outside of it. The dragoness was only halfheartedly listening until Nilo managed to say something truly outrageous.<strong>"Surely there is some other means to protect you from...from..."</strong>Dear heavens she could say the word!<strong>"Rain."</strong><em>Chicken</em>, she mentally chided herself with a mental pout.<br/><br/>Thankfully, a likely embarrassing conversation was halted when the female elf brought in the dress. It looked the same only smaller in form. An odd but pleasant excitement filled her, and she ignored the woman's insult about the dress she had wore for as long as she could conjure clothing when turning into human form.<strong>"No thank you,"</strong>she said quickly,<strong>"I can get rid of it myself."</strong>Saffy knew as soon as the cloth separated from her skin it would disappear as if it was never there to begin with. Even though she wanted to change directly into the dress, she did not want to garner more attention to herself than necessary. Seeing that Nilofer was about to pay for her dress with some  type of coin of her kind, Safiya felt as if she was further in the elf's debt.<br/><br/><strong>"Are you ready to go? I think I would like to see where you keep the four legged ones. The horses."</strong>She waited for Nilo to pay for the purchase then went over to stand by the door with her dress held gently in her hands. Already, even though she never wore it against her skin, she loved it. Once out of earshot of the tailors, she spoke about her thoughts earlier.<strong>"I was afraid to travel when I was younger. It seemed frightening to be so far away from all I have ever known. Yet now, I feel...as if it was worth it in some ways. Even if you are abnormal, you know a lot more about some things than me. I think you should seek out the blue elves. Life is too easily ended to be afraid...or caged." </strong>
