She needs to vent off some steam

"Can we test it?" Sheila asks with a strange spark in her eyes

"Test what? " You ask back. "Your ability as a warrior?"

She nods "Yes. At least one practice battle with your warriors. I need it, please. I haven't practiced for several days now, with all that work as ambassador. And can you send someone to bring my saddlebag? I need to change my clothes "

"Dislike wearing dresses?" You ask touching the fabric " It's a rare sight to see an Amazon in one I guess"

"That's one of many misconceptions about us. We love to look beautiful as much as any other female. Many of us dress like that while we are in safety. Of cause most outsiders see us in our battle clothes or armor so they assume we don't know how to wear a dress"

" I think you are gorgeous in any kind of attire. Or without it " You smile " Had you read a 'The Tale About The Red Amazon?' Don't tell me that you use armors like in that book"

"That book? " Sheila grins " We Amazons read it as a comedy. Armors here are truly hilarious, small pieces of metal that barely cover anything"

"And shaped in a form that directs a blade directly into a heart" You answer with a wider smile. "Great design!"

"Yeeees! Still the best part is a chainmail on bare nipples. That would be ouch! No. Oooooouuuuuuch!!" She bursts into a laugher, forgetting everything that worries her at least for now. And you laugh together with her. That joint laugher broke one more wall between two of you and somehow it ends in a kiss that neither of you have planned
