Uncanny encounter

He toured throughout the city of kragg few things changed from the last time which was when he was banished from here and his family the delivery system also changed, before it was sent through complex routes of transfer now they have messenger creatures are human like, sub classes like with tail others with hind legs powerful enough to leap over simple houses to story building

"huh how long was I away?" these new advancement took him aback for a moment he thought he entered the wrong city scanning the vicinity noticing every leverage in case something to happen and he needed a quick exit

And just as there advancement they were those who had to be sacrifices for those advance he notice some children in ragged clothes some with infected wounds, chopped limbs and deformations and so on

This scene would most like break anyone heart but to Asher his psychology and physiology remained the same "even mother nature has favorites" he ridicule the concept and gave himself a lampooning laugh

He came across a two way junction and turned towards the right and up ahead he saw sartorium and looked at what he was wearing, patched with animal skin, color faded and it has become tight in some wrong places

He walked towards the building, moments later he found himself in front of the building he extended his right hand gripped the knob twisted it and pushed it in ringing the bell above it and stepping into the sartorium

Inside the building was amazing ranging from the shelf of stacked material mostly process animal hides in one category and the fur in another, they are further categorized into grades from thickest to thinnest, the shelves were shared into zhilak for hot weathers, khraen for chilly weathers, sythri for when the weather is windy and verali the perfect balance between zhilak and khraen.

It even had for all ages honestly it will take a while before one person could complete a tour in this place and unfortunately the orange sphere has already gone below the horizon halfway and fire sphere at high point of the city have already started lighting up

He scan the building and his optics landed on a man stand at 5'8'' with an imperial mustache, he had a white vest on a black dress shirt buttoned down to the chest, a pencil hanging between his ear and head, and a measuring tape around his neck he had a lean figure that could pass through the iron bars fencing a house

Seeing this Asher approached the man "good evening sir" his voice releasing a perfect synergy between tenor and bass, a calm emotion hidden behind his tone

The symphony caught the man off guard making him think that he might be a noble he was just a man in worn out and from instantly made the judgement that he was a commoner and his once delighted face turned disdainful

"Naomi! Naomi! One of yer kind is here" his face grimaced and his eyes examined him from head to toe with a madden look never did he think a day would come where he would entertain a commoner even to the extent of breathing the same air as him

But was snapped was the name he called which was familiar to him but why then a voice echoed from the back "sir I've told you many times not to refer to people like this" after saying this her focus fell on the man in question she narrowed her eyes before widening it in delight

"it is you, twice in one day, did you stalk me?" her jeering tone caused his calm façade to crack a little and his left eye twitched a little but before the crack could be seen he calmed himself "and why would I do that?" he said keeping his composure "what do you mean by that, am I not pretty enough for you to stalk?" Asher instantly confused and slightly irritated but all he could was breathe helplessly "its getting late we can continue this bickering once I'm done with what I came here to do"

The man's express expression became more twisted and was about to protest when Naomi intervened "this is my boss Tobias" she said gesturing to him and she turned to Tobias "and boss this is" she realized that she didn't know his name "my name is Asher le Mont" he completed her sentence "basically the guy who sold use the felilope hides" Tobias ears twitched after hearing this and instantly his entire outlook changed

"Welcome Mr. Mont, how many we help you today" his tone became friendlier but the excitement couldn't be hidden which made Asher sigh inwardly and shake his head at his white sepulcher attitude

"I am here to get new clothes as you can clearly see" he said gesturing to himself with multiple crack on his façade

"oh great would you like to have it tailored or buy an already attire" he said holding his palms together like a little girl which actually sent chills throughout Asher's entire nerves making his shudder a little

"I'll have it customized thank you" he explained the specification he wanted and then one of the major question "what material would you like to you use?" Tobias asked while summarizing the specifications and added accessories on a piece of paper and giving it to one of his assistance

Asher was quite oblivious to these kind of this and this is where Naomi chipped in "why don't you use part of the materials you brought to us" hearing this Tobias grinned in excitement and Asher feeling helpless had no choice but to agree.

A small stool was brought and Asher ascended, and spread his arms as Tobias took his measurement "Thank you that would be all, you will be able to get it two days from now" Tobias announced while giving the measurement to another assistant "some of the specifications need materials from the atelier that's why the order is slightly delayed" having no choice Asher accepted

Asher finalized everything and paid the sum of 200 shardcoins leaving him only 17 shardcoins he sighed and walked out of the building, by the time he crossed the door night had already dawned and fire sphere brightened the street.
