After 7 minutes of me dragging Selen, we arrived in front of a shop with clothing made for beast-men displayed in a window. The shop had a sign above it that said 'The Yarn Ball' a place that I dreaded and avoided going to.

*Ring Ring* 

We then walked into the shop.

"Hey, Nelly you in!?"(Rina)

I then heard clattering coming from the back and a black and white furred Neko-Mata High Cait Sith came walking out. She was about 2-3 cm taller than me and had brown eyes. While she looked cute, friendly, and unassuming this woman was terrifying. When we first stumbled open her store the others wanted to try on clothes, so I went in, and she rushed us.

She then started talking about dresses for all of us at which point I was already about to step out the door as I do NOT like dresses. First, it makes me uncomfortable even thinking about doing it, and second, they would hinder my movement. I hate clothes that hinder my movement.

Before I could leave or react, she had grabbed my neck and dragged me into a changing room and had me undressed before I could even process what happened, which should have been impossible. She then left and locked me in there with only my bra and panties still on. 

I was stunned for a second before I put on my old clothes before she could force a dress on or even come back. I then teleported to the main street and found a cool looking half mask with a frozen sapphire(Ice blue sapphire with ice element in it.) on the forehead half and a black design on it. It was hella expensive but, I still bought it.

I later learned from the others that when she found me missing, she swore that she'd make me wear a dress if it was the last thing she did. I then avoided going near that shop as much as possible but when we did pass it, she always came running to and tried to chase me. While the others just watched it happen. Hell at one point they started bringing popcorn.

I tried killing my presence completely but, she always knew where I was!! Which should be impossible! I even checked her status, and she didn't even have sense presence!!

And I'm getting sidetracked. Whatever, anyway right now she had a very terrifying glint in her eyes.

It made me start to break out in a cold sweat. The only reason she hasn't pounced on me is because of Selen.

"Welcome, to 'The Yarn Ball' have y-"(Nelly)

"(Flat) No."(Rina)

"(Upset) Aww, but you'd look even cuter as you are right now!!"(Nelly)

"No, I refuse."(Rina)

"PPPPPPllllllleeeeeaaaaasssssseeeeee!!!!!"(Nelly)

"(Flat) No."(Rina)

"Fine! If you won't do it willingly, I'll make you!"(Nelly)

*thump*

She then tried to jump at me but just fell flat on her face as I sidestepped her. Selen then looked worried.

"(Nervous) Uh, should we really be here? I-I mean doesn't she seem a little..."(Selen)

She then made a gesture to show her craziness.

"Crazy? Yes, yes, she is. BUT she is one of the best tailors in all of Shadewolf, maybe even the country."(Rina)

"(Anxious) Is this necessary? I-I don't think we should be here."(Selen)

"It's fine."(Rina)

I then walked over to Nelly and kicked her ribs.

"(Annoyed) *Glare* Get up and stop sulking you baby."(Rina)

"*Stands up* *Sniffle* You're so mean to me."(Nelly)

"*Eye roll* Whatever, now I need you to make a dre-"(Rina)

"(Excited) I'll do it!!"(Nelly)

"(Annoyed) *Glare* Don't interrupt me. Now as I was saying. I need you to make a dress for Selen."(Rina)

"(Depressed) *Droop* Oh."(Nelly)

"Can you do it?"(Rina)

"I can but I need to know the time frame."(Nelly)

"2 weeks."(Rina)

"*Nod* I can do that but, why me? I specialize in beastmen, not humans."(Nelly)

She then pointed over to Selen.

"Ah, right. I also need some daily clothes for her, and I need them enchanted with transformation magic."(Rina)

She then looked even more confused.

"*Sigh* Selen isn't human. Like at all."(Rina)

She then looked at me like I was an idiot.

"*Eye roll* I know she doesn't look like it but, we're the same race."(Rina)

She gave a look that says to say something more believable.

"Selen, can you confirm?"(Rina)

"*Flinch* Y-Yeah. W-We're the same race."(Selen)

"*Sigh* Whatever, you say. Come with me to get your measurements and all that."(Nelly)

She then grabbed Selen's hand and dragged her to the back. I then walked over to the counter and put my back on the wall.

Hmm, seems Brownie isn't here. Guess Nelly sent him to do some errands. *Sigh* How does such a good guy end up with quack like that? *Shacks head* Not my problem. All I can do is pray for th-

{Big sis.}(Izz)

{What's up?}(Rina)

{There's something I forgot to tell you.}(Izz)

{Shoot.}(Rina)

{Well, I was talking to Sam and Amelia a while back and learned of the man who suggested stuffing our families' heads.}(Izz)

"(Cold) Continue."(Rina)

At that moment everyone in a hundred-meter radius felt a cold shiver run down their spines.

{His name is Mayson Brooks and he's an A-rank adventurer.}(Izz)

{Got it.}(Rina)

I then cut the link.

(Pissed) Just you wait you, bastard. When I'm done with you, you'll be begging for death.

I then spent the next half-hour fantasizing about my 'stress relieving' session. When Selen and Nelly finally came out Selen was wearing a yellow sun dress and had her tail and ears out.

Her fur looked soft, pristine, and glossy. Obviously, my fur still surpassed hers as I take care of it very thoroughly.

"You have very nice tail fur."(Rina)

She then held her tail as if I was going to steal it.

"(Confused) Why are you doing that? It's not like I'm going to bite it or something."(Rina)

She then started glaring at me while silently judging me.

"*Raises Hands* Do whatever you want."(Rina)

I then turned to Nelly.

"So, the price of everything?"(Rina)

"2 platinum."(Nelly)

"(Shocked) What!? Why is it so expensive?!"(Rina)

"1 platinum for express creation and shipment. 1 platinum for the clothes, shoes, and enchantments."(Nelly)

"Can't I get a discount or something?"(Rina)

"*Evil Smile* I'll do it for free if you let me dr-"(Nelly)

*SLAM*

I then slammed down 2 platinum coins before Nelly could finish.

No way in hell would I do that! The only ones allowed to see me in one are my family and MAYBE Master ...and Ella.

"Well, let's go Selen."(Rina)

"Wh-"(Selen)

She was about to ask something but, I again started dragging her along because I didn't want to stay here.

*Ring Ring*

I then took her to a jeweler to get a ring for Hail. I could have just taken her to that treasury but, I assume Hail's there seeing as she didn't follow us.

*Ring Ring*

"(Nervous) W-Welcome. I-Is there a-anything I can help with?"(Nervous Demon)

When we entered, we were greeted by a lanky male demon who started sweating buckets when he saw me. He had turquoise eyes and very dark turquoise horns on his forehead and black hair. He also had a black tail with a heart shape at the end which led me to believe he is an Incubus.

"No, we'll call if we need anything."(Rina)

"A-Alright."(Nervous Demon)

He then walked over to somewhere else.

"(Nervous) U-Um what k-kind of ring should I choose? I-I don't know what would suit her."(Selen)

"That's up to you not me. Though I do recommend one with a yellow or gold colored gem."(Rina)

"(Anxious) W-Why?"(Selen)

"Because it matches your eyes."(Rina)

"(Anxious) Sh-Shouldn't our ring b-be matching?"(Selen)

"Ah, it might be like that where you're from but, here it's customary to get rings with gems that match their eyes. I think it was because they said it would remind their partner of them when they saw it? *Shakes head* Anyway that most of the time ends in the rings being different so, most people have their  intial(s) engraved into it."(Rina)

"(Nervous) A-Ah, s-so will y-you help me?"(Selen)

"*Shakes head* Nope, if I did that then it wouldn't be special. Though I will tell you if a ring looks good or not."(Rina)

"A-Alright."(Selen)

We then spent the next hour looking through a few dozen rings and while she was looking, I told Izz to tell Jewel to get a dress if she wanted her to attend the ball, which she already did. by the end of the hour, she had 2 different rings to choose from.

A romvine (Yellow) ring with vines around the gem or a cerusaite (Gold) one with a wolf head design around the gem. Both of the rings were made from platinum. I think the cerusaite one is better as it better matches her eyes but, it's her choice.

"*Swings head left and right* Mmm, which one? I like the vine one but, also the wolf one. (Frustrated) Ahhh! Why is this so hard!? Rina, what do you think?"(Selen)

"Personally, I like the cerusaite one more."(Rina)

"(Embarrassed) W-Which one is that?"(Selen)

"(Dead Pan) The wolf one."(Rina)

"Oooh. Okay, I'll go with that one!"(Selen)

"(Scared) F-Fine, choice. Th-That will b-be 1-1 platinum a-and 2-2 silver."(Nervous Demon)

Hm, cheaper than I thought seeing as the ring is made of pure platinum.

"Alright."(Rina)

*Clink*

I then placed a bag with 1,000 gold and 2 silver. He then takes the bag and puts the ring in a box. Selen was about to take it, but I snatched it first.

"Hey! I thought that was for me!?"(Selen)

"*Eye roll* You'll get it back later. I'm just going to get it enchanted so it doesn't break when we transform."(Rina)

"(Upset) Fine."(Selen)

She agreed but still looked pissed about it.

*Ring Ring*

We then left the store.

"(Mad) What are we doing now?"(Selen)

Ah, she's definitely pissed that I took her ring.

"Well, we've got like another half an hour so let's just wander the streets and you pick a gift for Hail."(Rina)

"(Excited) Let's go!"(Selen)

*Sigh* Hail, your girlfriend has too many mood swings.

"Alright."(Rina)

We then spent the next 20 minutes wandering the market.

*Gggrrr*

"Ah, I'm hungry. Want something?"(Rina)

"Sure, get so-"(Selen)

"Let me guess. Meat?"(Rina)

*Nod*

"Alright, don't wander off too far."(Rina)

"(Mad) I'm not a little kid."(Selen)

"*Eye roll* Whatever."(Rina)

I then walked over to a food stall that was selling some fried lesser-drake skewers. I also noticed she walked over to a vendor selling necklaces a few stalls down.
