The clothes were tailor made for him. They hugged his form perfectly, accentuating every line of his body in fine, respectable detail. Even with his diminutive height, he was regal enough to mingle with the elite without so much as a second glance. No doubt he might be taken for a noble, if not a Baron's son.
Xephys hated it.
He had worn many costumes in his time - it truth, those costumes were the core of his life. But this costume... this was different. He was no harlot to be pined for, no merchant to haggle for goods among the better peoples of the world. There were no dresses to display his neferti symbols, nor a desert cloak to mark him as a native of those civilizations that lived so harshly. He had spent countless hours in private, wooing the powerful, the influential, the knowledgeable, but never before had he felt so terribly bare.
This garb, worn by so many of those elite members, made him invisible. Just another face in the crowd to be seen and passed over, as so many of the nameless nobles were. There would be no attention, no spotlights, no eyes following his every step.
He prayed this would be the first and last time he ever had to wear such dignified clothing.This piece was done by
