I known as and also you got here. ” Gii’s smile was once hot. “Gladly, Empousa! it's a real excitement to once more have Hecate’s excessive Priestess inside of our realm. we've got been idle too lengthy. ” She paused and regarded round her. “Did you now not name the opposite handmaidens to boot? ” “Actually, when you consider that I’m no longer used to having any handmaidens, I’d wish to begin with simply you for this day. Is that ok with you? ” “Whatever you would like, Empousa. it's an honor to be selected to serve you. ” The younger woman’s exuberance made Mikki think much much less apprehensive approximately no longer understanding what the hell she was once doing. She was once the place she belonged. every little thing else could fall into position. She nodded at Gii’s encumbered fingers. “I used to be going to assert i wished you to aid me locate whatever to put on, however it seems like you have already got that treated. ” Mentally Mikki crossed her arms that today’s outfit may disguise either one of her breasts. “Naturally, Empousa. I knew you'd be wanting to oversee your gardens. for those who summoned me I made yes that i used to be ready. ” Gii begun aiding Mikki out of her nightdress, and with the phrases your gardens echoing delightfully in her mind's eye, Mikki shrugged her manner out of her outfits and held very nonetheless because the handmaiden took the lengthy, oblong size of gold textile and wrapped it as soon as round her physique. With gold pins that seemed from the voluminous folds of her personal gown, Gii fixed it on the shoulders. fortunately, it shaped an entire bodice, overlaying either one of her breasts.

Won’t this”—she pointed on the size of golden cloth that hung gracefully to her feet—“just get within the method? ” “Not if you happen to tuck it right here and the following. ” Gii confirmed tucking her personal wonderful mint-colored chiton up into her belt so her lengthy, powerful legs have been left often naked.

There I didn’t learn about priestesses or goddesses, and we don’t costume whatever like this. If i used to be going to paintings within the backyard i might put on jeans”—here she mimicked getting into a couple of pants—“and a quick T-shirt that I’d pull over my head, and it's going to hide the head 1/2 my physique. ” Gii seemed horrified.
