Bab 154: Abyssal Warden

My heart sinks. As much as I love seeing my dog-kin girl happy, the thought of her wearing something so revealing makes me rather uncomfortable. The last thing I want is for my mate to be ogled by every passerby. "Ghost, are you sure you want this one?" I ask, trying to keep my tone gentle and non-confrontational. "It doesn't really offer much protection. How about we look for something a bit more… substantial?"

She hesitates, "But… it's so pretty, and it does offer good protection…"

Her words tug at my heartstrings, making it exceptionally hard to say no.

Determined to find a compromise, I scour the racks and pick out a few alternatives - still sexy but more conservative designs with better coverage for combat. "How about this one?" I suggest, holding up a sleek leather armor that still has a feminine cut but provides much more protection.
