The clerk gestured to the two boxes. "You just have to put on one piece of the equipment, and if you are compatible, it will bond with you. Now, keep in mind that once it does, you've bought it, no returns exchanges or refunds."

Karl turned to Lotus. "I suspect that how I look matters much more to you than it does to me, so you pick which one we try first. If it works, that's the look I will have for the foreseeable future."

The tiny cleric sighed, then put on a serious face and turned her hair from black to a mottled brown that reminded Karl of tree bark. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

"Oh, the Nature Priestess has her game face on. What's it going to be, Sister?" The clerk asked.

"All leather first. My instincts say all leather first." Lotus replied, before her hair changed back to blonde.

Karl wondered how long he had missed the fact that she had been changing her hair colour with her mood, so he almost didn't notice when he picked up the helmet and set it over his head that the rest of the equipment vanished, and his hassock now had a full suit of armour underneath it.

"Well, take it off, take it off. The hassock." Lotus demanded, upset that she had been denied the sight of her chosen armour option.

Karl laughed as he untied the belt and pulled the hassock over his head, revealing the plain flat black armour underneath, with a long sleeved green tunic shirt underneath that Karl didn't remember being in the pile of gear.

It felt a bit strange being restricted by armour, after always being in just cloth, especially the way that the leather pants, with their stiff additional plating on the thighs and lower legs, moved against him.

Lotus circled Karl three times before she made her decision that it was good enough for her.

"I like it. The green tunic was a nice touch, thanks guys." She congratulated the workers in the supply room.

"There was no tunic in the pile, we just assumed he was already wearing it." The clerk replied, confused.

"I was only wearing the hassock." Karl replied with a shrug.

The clerk shook his head. "You've been around the nature priests too long. Normally, visitors wear a layer underneath and don't just free ball it."

Karl laughed. "Well, I had no clean clothes, and this was what was in the room, so this is what I'm wearing."

The Clerk shrugged off his concerns, and decided that it was all part of the System's magic that added the shirt to complete the armour set. Not that there were gaps that needed covering, but it looked more natural with the tunic between layers.

"Well, it looks like I'm good on armour now. I suppose that I should see what they were planning to do to change my supplies. The Academy backpack has been pretty good to me, but it sounds like the High Priestess was planning to make some changes." Karl added as he admired his new armour in the mirror on one wall.

Now he had not just a weapon, but a full suit of armour that could be stored in a separate space, and if he was right, the armour, like the weapon, should come out clean again when he put it on. The weapon didn't take any blood or viscera back to the space with it, so the armour should be the same.

"Put the hassock back on before you leave the room, it's regulation." The clerk reminded him when Karl turned to go show off his new gear to the others.

"Right, almost forgot about that."
