Awakening part 2

"You young lad, have gained the respect of almost all families in this city. Most of them would buy you for any price. As you also noticed before. You had spies watching you, so most families know a lot about your abilities." The old man was still speaking his dialogue, however, the thing in my head that at that time posed most importance was the amount of red on Lily's face. I could see her in a hood. All of her body beside her face was covered by a blanket. She wanted to speak but she also didn't want to disrespect the elder in the room. "Oh you younglings, go on." He added and at that time Lily launched in my direction, the coat that was covering her body fell on the ground. I felt something hard yet warm around my body. It was a set of clothes made of plates. Golden plates, the plates also being snake scales.
