There was a bra and panties set that had pockets attached to every available surface. So about three pockets altogether because whoever had made it had decided that they really needed to save fabric after all. He had also got what I could only describe as a fisherman's jacket. One of those short sleeved beige things covered in deep practical pockets.
Now knowing Alric I was pretty unsuprised he had come up with this combination. What was surprising is that the labels still firmly attached to both told me that all of the items had come from the same store.
I chose to ignore the underwear but threw on the jacket to appease my friends. It was obviously designed for a bigger person because it seemed like an oversized life-jacket on me reaching all the way to below my knees. I sidled out of the bathroom.
"Perfect!" Alric smiled. He wasn't being sarcastic. Faye's face on the other hand was full of manic glee. I would be having a word with her later.
"Now take this." He thrust a ball of paper into my hand. "And time for bed."
"Sorry what? Aren't you going to explain your plan."
"No because that could impact the results." He began insistently pushing me towards the bedroom.
"All you need to know is that it is sleep time! Oh and did you put on the bra?"
Faye snorted. I glared at her.
"Ah I guessed you might not. No problem we shall save that for another day."

"Right lets see if this worked." I muttered as I woke to my possibly a dream again. The note Alric had given me was still clutched in my hand. I unscrunched it taking in the three tasks he had put there as part of his test.
"1) Check there is a wolf." I patted the fuzzy body behind me and gave a silent nod that this part was accomplished.
"2) Check pocket for pen." I rustled through several pockets before I found a slightly leaky pen. Alric must have put it there before he gave me the bag of clothes.
"3) Turn over paper and write wolf a note." I paused. Write a note. Simple. Easy...
What the hell was I going to write?!
