Gratitude

---- Dalen Capital, Gularzob's Shop. Mid-afternoon, 0 DSTR ----

Artem was surprised by Isais words. He had half expected him to be too arrogant to understand, but that was far from the case. Before turning towards Lars he shook hands with Isai "Thank you. I promise I won't forget your generosity.". It certainly wasn't every day Artem experienced people like these three who were all willing to help even when knowing they might not get anything in return.

Now, standing with Winifred by his side, he couldn't help but smile at her almost childish reaction of joy at the sight of the clothes. Surprisingly it even make her look even more cute.

Looking at Artem’s outfit, she giggled and turned to him. “It is certainly a change.”

At this comment Artem crossed his arms and acted a bit insulted, but still couldn't quite hide a smile "What? Are you insinuating that my old clothes aren't fitting for a noble?". This was clearly a joke as his own clothes was covered in stains of mainly mud and dust, with a distinct smell of horse, sweat and other unattractive odours.

Having said this he went to change into the newly made garments and some final adjustments were made by Lars. It was a strange feeling to be wearing something that felt as expensive as this, but definitely not in a unpleasant way. Still, he did feel a little awkward and silly looking in it, but there was no turning back now.

Standing ready to leave, the sight of Winifred astonished him. Her new dress was simple yet elegantly made and perfectly fitted to all her delicate curves. Trying not to appear too mesmerized at the sight of he simply sent her a approving smile together with a small teasing bow "You look magnificent, [i]milady[/].".

Before leaving he turned towards Lars with a greatful smile "Thank you so much. All of you.". Now he looked at Gular and Isai as well "I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay any of you, but if you ever find yourself in need of a man of my skills don't hesitate to ask.".

(OOC - I hope it all makes sense despite of the various time-jumps ^^')
