I slept for about 3 hours with no dreams, when I woke up I saw Aeschylus sewing the metal into a dress, how uncomfortable.
“Why are you putting metal in the dress?” I ask my voice was sluggish and tired
“Good morning! I am stringing metal in the dress because it will add another line of defence for you, therefore when someone stabs you it won't be as fatal.” He smiles
“ you’re a genius!” I exaggerate and look at the crimson dress “It is just like from home. When will it be done?”
“Soon, I promise.”
“ alright” I look at the designs he created, a dress and a Chiton. “ You made them fit Sparta in an exact way. “
“That was the point.” He does not look up from his work when he says this, I know I should stop talking because he is completely focused on making these outfits.Whenever he is hyper-focused there is no way to tear him from his work. I sat and drew with the charcoal piece on the walls.
About half an hour later he smiles “ done!” He pulls up a simple crimson dress with a gold bronze like shimmer to it.
“ You should make clothes more often, this is beautiful!” I hold it up to me to show off what it may look like.
“Go see what it looks like I have to make mine now.”
I go behind the hay stacks and change, when I walk back out the dress is so low I nearly trip on it. I stumble trying not to get the dress caught under my feet.
“Oops, sit still” He kneels down and rips the bottom of the dress about two inches, now it dangles from my ankles. He gets up “What do you think?”
“I love it thank you!” I smile “ now, what are we to do with your clothes?”
“It will take me less time than yours did. Just an hour.” He goes back to work silently and I sit bored not knowing what to do and not wanting to leave him alone either.
Alexis walks in “ beautiful dress deary.”
“Thank you.” I say smiling
“Very spartan like you must have sewed for sparta Aeschylus.” she says walking in a circle surrounding me.
“I planned to but i don't believe i would have gotten away with it.” He says, proudly looking at his work.
I smiled awkwardly, I didn’t really know what to do so I just stood there.
“ I am to bring you to the weaponry.” Alexis said, her past joy she had was gone and she was back to her usual strict reserved persona.
“Alright.” I respond politely
Alexis walks out of the room, I follow closely behind. We pass wall after wall after wall in this great city. She stopped at a big building that was two stories high, I could feel the heat beating off the building as I walked inside.
