The knightly procession passes by. Though most of the soldiers are wearing helmets that obscure their faces, your quick glance reveals that the one female human knight with beautiful ginger curly hair and a male orc knight are riding without their helms.

[hider=DC 13 Perception check]You immediately notice that their eyes are clear. There is no trace of the unnerving, milky fog that covers the eyes of many of the heavily guarded soldiers and knights back in Valerith, suggesting these Queen's Guard are acting under their own will, not some enchantment or affliction.[/hider]

Miller, the stern man behind the counter, doesn't return Garrek's friendly grin. He eyes your fine, dirtied dress, then the two gold coins you are tentatively holding out. He sets down his canvas bolt with a sigh that suggests he has already had a long morning.

[b]"Working clothes,"[/b] he grunts, his voice flat. [b]"That depends entirely on the quality you need, Miss. We have two main options for serious wear."[/b]

He gestures with a thin hand toward two different stacks of folded cloth on the shelves behind him.

[b]"For simple, everyday labor and basic chores, we have the standard cut. It’s durable linen, dyed a serviceable gray or brown. Includes a loose shirt, trousers tied at the waist, and a decent pair of worn leather shoes. Good enough for scrubbing floors, but it won't hold up forever."[/b] He pauses. [b]"That set will cost you five silver pieces."[/b]

He then points to a higher shelf holding darker, heavier fabrics.

[b]"If you need something tougher, something built for the road or long days of rough handling, we have the traveler's outfit. It uses thick, oiled wool that repels light rain and resists snags. The stitching is reinforced, and it comes with rugged boots that have sturdy, thick soles. It’s meant for long use, protection against the elements, and carrying light gear."[/b] He nods curtly. [b]"That outfit will run you two gold pieces."[/b]

He raises a graying eyebrow. [b]"So, Miss. Which kind of work are you planning on doing?"[/b]
