By Duweit's sigh, Clover suspected she had said the wrong thing. To her, getting so far in just one day was quite amazing. But obviously it had not been enough. A frown pulled on her features, but she took the medicine and water as it was given to her.
She drank down the medicine as Duweit spoke, looking up at him through those pale yellow eyes.
"Um...alright...."
In the morning?? She wasn't sure her poor rump could take another day of riding so soon...
Now she knew the downfalls of living as a priestess all your life...
After setting the water and medicine containers down on the bedside table, she turned, planning to ask Duweit where he was going to sleep.
Unfortunately, he was suddenly topless.
...
Enter mega blush here.
Clover practically flew back around, sitting stock-straight on the bed. She...she did not just see that. Was she even allowed to see that??
What was just normal nekkid man chest to many was something totally unseen and assumed taboo for poor little Clover.
Gah.
She managed a weak grin at Chu's words, but was so embarrassed, she couldn't even argue with Duweit about his choice of a sleeping place.
So instead she silently shuffled under the covers and curled up, taking off nothing but her boots.
She really didn't have anything to sleep in anyway. Well...normally she would have slept naked, like at the temple. But...her better judgement was telling her that wasn't a good idea.
Wait...why not? It wasn't like he could see her...And she was under the covers too...
Why shouldn't she be allowed to be as comfortable as back home??
Having made up her mind, Clover sat up as quietly as she could, and began to strip off her clothing. Nervously she bundled it up and set it on top of her pack, then laid back down between the covers.
...
They were too scritchy. The fabric was too coarse, not at all like the soft sheets she had back at the temple.
Sitting up yet again, and still trying to be as quiet as possible, she grabbed the white bundle and untied it. It was actually her robes, which she had wisely changed out of as soon as she had found the caravan and had bought new clothes.
They were soft, and smelled of home.
Smiling, Clover laid her underdress down on the bed, and then covered herself with the robe. Soft and warm and reminded of the temple, Clover quickly succumbed to her fatigue.
She never suspected something bad could still happen even if Duweit couldn't see her naked body.
