Peri nearly fell on her face trying to catch them before they hit the dirt. Really the man was most exasperating. She moved behind a boulder and changed, surprised at how fine the cloth was. She pulled the breeches down on the outside of her boots to hide them. The silken tunic was almost the twin of Torene's favorite--a pale golden color. The coat was finer than anything she had ever owned. Yes, she would have to pay him back somehow. This was too much.

She dug out her brush and brushed her hair and wiped her face with a corner of the dirty tunic she'd just removed, using a little spit to get the dirt off. Then she put on the silver ring and the gold necklace she'd just lifted. She stuffed everything else back in her pack except the bow, which she strapped back on, and she carried the pack in her hand. She didn't know it, but dressed like that, with her face mostly clean and her hair brushed, she looked a LOT more like Torene than she would have liked. She felt almost pretty.

She stepped back out on to the road. "Thank you, Corvus.  You must let me pay you back for these--they're beautiful."
