Re''Kha gazed outside for some duration, hearing the conversations of the people seated within the cycle rickshaws. She then heard knocks on the door, walking into the living room before opening the door, watching the servant return with a cotton bag.
After giving her a light bow, the servant ced the cotton bag on the table, "Ma''am, your clothes are in it. If you want more sophisticated and luxurious clothes, please summon me. I''ll take your measurements and get them stitched."
"The 21 RuQi ced next to it is for you take," Re''Kha motioned with her line of sight, ncing at the three coins ced on the table: two 10 RuQi coins, and one 1 RuQi coin. The cost of the clothes was 20 RuQi, but she had kept 21 RuQi. The servant immediately understood that the extra coin was a tip for her. She beamed with a smile and making an even deeper bow, stating before her exit, "When you are refreshed, pleasee to the counter on the ground floor toplete your registration."
Re''Kha nodded and looked into the bag through her Wind Qi perception, finding the fabric and the design be something she was used to wearing. She was morefortable with such an attire than the one she currently wore.
The dressing styles of the people were distinct depending on their affiliation. The primary ssification was the dresses of the five ns: water, metal, fire, lightning, and royals.
Throughout their country, all Harmonisers from a water-based n wore the same dress. It wasn''t because of imperialw, but rather their willingness to wear so. Even the dress they wore conformed to their respective elements, keeping them more attuned to their elements.
The women among the Re n wore a tight-fitting deep-blue frock that reached their knees without any frills. It was sleeveless while they wore a shoulder pad on their dominant arm, shaped into a triangr extension over the tip of which a rectangr piece of cloth was hung. The rectangr piece of cloth was light blue while the rest was dark blue, usually.
Ribbons of silk curled over the arms from the sleeve, usually connected to the blue armguard—made from cloth. Some women chose to tie up the ribbons into a circle above their elbows. Some coiled the ribbons in the same pattern as their respective Tikka jewellery.
Worn over their frock was a sleeveless stiff leather jacket, outlining their features while giving them base protection. They wore blue leather stockings that reached their knees, the material stic to provide ease of movement. The frock too was made to be stic, after all, every Harmoniser fought.
So, their dresses evolved to use lightweight fabric that also protected the Harmoniser. Moreover, it conformed to the element of the wielder, enhancing their advantage. Every dress worn by a Re n Harmoniser was waterproof and water-resistant, allowing the user to move freely in the water without their fabric hindering their progress.
As a Harmoniser, Re''Kha was habituated to her n''s dress, so she didn''t prefer wearing anything else, even during normal asions. After all, she felt the most rxed andfortable in it. It was why she had ordered for one immediately.
In their state of Burlong, every Harmoniser n attuned to the water element had a prefix of Re to their names. The prefix varied from state to state. In the state of Burlong, the water ns had the prefix of Re, the metal ns had the prefix of Ju, the fire ns had the prefix of Ka, and finally, the lightning ns had the prefix of Vi.
A person''s name showed their ce of origin. Burkurel Re''Kha symbolised her origin from Burkurel City and her attunement to Burkurel City''s water n. A normal citizen''s name from the same city would be like Burkurel Cha.
So, usually, when addressing a Harmoniser, unless they were from the same city, they were addressed in their full name. When Re''Kha inquired about the lift to the servant, the servant replied with ''Ju n''s sessor.'' In that statement, she meant it was the sessor to the Burfuna City''s Ju n.
Re''Kha took a bath and changed into her new clothes, feeling her body rx automatically. She then strapped a pouch—containing money—to her hip, exited the room, and ced the key in it. A servant immediately arrived at her service, "Ma''am…mydy, can I help you?"
"I haven''t registered yet," Re''Kha replied with a nod. She didn''t strap the ribbon part to her dress; instead, she used one of them to cover her eyes.
"Then, I''ll lead you there," The servant bowed, ringing the bell twice before taking a step back, watching a tform slowly move up from the ground floor. In the meantime, she nced at Re''Kha, noticing her fully covered state.
Re''Kha wore a hood on her head, covering till her forehead while her ribbon covered her eyes. A cast of the sunlight that seeped through the open space highlighted the visage of her face, stunning the servant, sending her in a trance before the arrival of the lift broke her out of it.
''Who is thisdy? She''s incredibly pretty. It wasn''t apparent in her old clothes before.'' The servant then felt puzzled, gazing at Re''Kha, "Mydy, may I ask you about something?"
"Yes?" Re''Kha turned around, gazing at her face as she smiled.
"N-Nothing," The servant opened the gate and motioned for her to enter, noticing Re''Kha walk without any trouble, despite being blindfolded. She gazed at her blindfold, noticing the faint fluttering of her eyelids.
As the lift began to descend, the servant was finally unable to curb her curiosity, asking, "Mydy, why have you blindfolded yourself? And, howe you are still able to walk without trouble?"
"You know how this ribbon is semi-transparent right?" Seeing the servant nod, Re''Kha smiled, "I only see once every ten steps. My master rmended I do so. Just consider it a form of training we Harmonisers do."
The servant gawked in admiration, opening the gates once the lift reached the ground floor.
