I didn't contact Mano after this since my dad refused to let me. The Draconic girl said her name is Thia. Her mother was killed after their tribe was attacked. Now she's alone in this world. I told her she could always rely on me if she felt she needed to. She hugged me after that and stayed close to me for the next few weeks. Scarlet would update me every so often on things, especially about recent adventures she had gone on. Dad has banned me from going anywhere without guards. I went to see Scarlet now and then, but my parents always came with me and refused to let me go anywhere alone. I would love to go with Mano and enjoy a day together, but Dad isn't having it. Eventually, after the weeks were done, I could go to town without guards and supervision. And I took it, I dressed in a plain suit and went into town, and it's time to prepare for the Diane celebration. I went out on foot and went shopping with my own earnings. I took the long way around, shopping happily and looking around at the festive sight of everyone taking time in the settings. I love it here. The environment is absolutely gorgeous. How happy everyone was about the festival, I was happy. Then I bumped into someone.
"Oh! Sorry, I wasn't-" I stopped with a gasp, looking up at the person. It was Mano in a suit. My eyes were not listening to my command. I noticed she has more curves than the majority of women I have met. I snapped my attention back up to her eyes. "... I- hi- hi Mano."
"Oh, Gia." She looked surprised to see me. "I wasn't expecting to see you here."
"I wasn't expecting to see you here either, or..." looks at her outfit. "Or in a suit that... compliments everything..."
I looked back up into her eyes again quickly. I felt my face go a little red. I don't know how to go about this, and I am very much embarrassed. I can't keep looking at her goods; that is not polite or ladylike. Although Scarlet and I start fights often. I enjoy it when I get to fight with Scarlet, though. But right now? I am in front of a very attractive woman who is a giant. Ladylike is very much required for a proper conversation with someone this attractive and to avoid ruining all this.
