Shopping!

As you trek back to the city, Thror goes over the finances. "Alright, so we are going to get twenty-five gold for the heads. I was also was able to find some money on the gnolls themselves, two extra golds, nine silvers, and a handful of bronze pieces."

"Holy shit we're rich!" Dukash cheers, punching the air. "And y'know what that means? SHOPPING SPREE!"

"Calm down, Dukash, we still owe the blacksmith twenty gold for our gear, remember?"

"Oh, right, that..." The younger brother seems a bit deflated for a moment before perking back up. "Well, we still have the gold from the gnolls! Add that to the three we already have and that's like... five gold! That's enough for a mini-spree, I think."

Thror just rolls his eyes, repositioning the sack to his other shoulder. "We still need money for food and a room, Dukash. We can't just throw away our cash as soon as we get it."

"But brother, one of our party members is NAKED!" The bard dramatically gestures to your nude form, making you blush. "We need to at least buy her clothes!" Thror glances down at you, seeming to see his brother's point. You are about to speak up and say that you are fine, but at that moment your left tit slips out. You squeal as you rush to cover it, inadvertently proving Dukash's point.

"Fine, but I'm setting you two at a four gold spending limit! And just the essentials!"

"Don't worry, brother, you know me! I'm the definition of a savvy shopper!"

Thror seems to disagree but drops the issue as you near the city gates. From there, he heads off to the guard tower while you and Dukash head to the shopping district. As you make your way through the city, you once again feel the eyes of the people on your bare skin. However, it is different than the catcalls and groping you experienced in the lower quarter. These people were higher class, though no less perverted. Merchants peering at your supple flesh from behind their stalls, sizing you up like a cut of meat. Gentlemen in suits looking down at you, wondering if they can afford whatever price you must charge. Boys who are barely men leering at you without shame, imagining taking you in an alleyway and having their way. Ladies wearing expensive dresses eyeing you with disgust, fanning themselves as they turn up their noses. Their judging, lustful looks seem to cling to your skin as you shuffle alongside Dukash, clinging to your ass even after you pass them. The half-orc is, as usual, completely unaware of your situation, prattling on about how he fought the gnolls. In truth, you were grateful for his ignorance. It would be impossible for him to stop the passing strangers. This way things were less awkward.

The first store you go to is of course a dressmaker. As you enter you see rack after rack of beautiful dresses. While you are impressed with the handiwork, you fear these clothes may be a bit pricey.

"I suppose this will be a rush order then?" The man behind the counter calls, peering over your nude form. He is an old man with thin features and a small frame. His eyes run over your body from behind a pair of round spectacles, obviously liking what he sees. He only has a few wisps of grey hair left on his head, his scalp covered in bald spots. He laces his long fingers together on top of the counter as Dukash approaches him.

"Hello my good sir!" The half-orc exclaims, extending his hand. The old shopkeeper eyes the hand with disdain, declining to shake it. "Allllllright then! As you may have noticed, my friend here is a bit out of sorts at the moment. Do you have any dresses her size, preferably in the stylings of a healer?"

"Healer, you say?" The old man strokes his chin before standing up from behind the counter. "Don't deal with magic users often but I have a few in stock. What's your price range?"

"Anything for... one gold coin?" He flips one of your four gold coins in the air, catching it between his fingers. The shopkeeper is less than impressed, walking over to a rack of underwear. He selects a particularly revealing pink bra and panty set. The fabric is practically transparent, offering you virtually no protection. You might as well be naked!

(The One Gold outfit)

"Ohhh, uhhh..." your voice is soft and unsure as you try to figure out how to phrase this gently. "That's beautiful, sir, but do you have anything a bit less... revealing?"

"You pay for what you get, sweetie," the old man chastises, putting the lingerie back on the hook. "More fabric costs more money."

"Well, what about if I offer... DOUBLE!" Dukash now holds two gold coins in his hand, still failing to amuse the old shopkeeper. Grumbling to himself, he walks across the store and finds another pink outfit. This one is much better, the pink leotard at least covering your breasts. However, it is still extremely revealing, low cut enough that anyone taller than you could see right down into your cleavage. The outfit would hug your curves, leaving little to the imagination. It would also leave your legs completely bare, with only your pussy kept from prying eyes. Less than ideal, that was for sure. However, it would be better than nothing and you are light on funds. You are about to accept when Dukash spoke up.

(The Two Gold outfit, minus the bunny ears)

"I don't suppose you have anything for three gold, do you?" You try to protest but the old man is already on his way to the next rack, where he produces a beautiful pink and white robe. The white top covers your tits well while still being low cut enough to avoid being prudish. While your shoulders are bare, there are pretty white sleeves so you are not too exposed. Your stomach would be held by a beautiful pink corset. While the white skirt is a little high for your tastes usually, it is much longer than the other two.

(The Three Gold outfit, minus the heels and pink sash)

"This good enough for yer tastes?" The man asks, obviously getting impatient with your budget.

Hey, so I was really surprised by the amount of engagement on this chapter. I am glad people are enjoying this arc. I was originally planning on just doing one of the dresses but I've now decided to do all three. I picked the three gold dress as the "canon" choice for the two brothers arc because I already had an idea for it. I've put a poll down below to see which one you all want me to focus on first. I hope to get around to all of them eventually though, so don't worry!
