The Aftermath

Aldrian hadn't expected such a question. He looked at the elf who had accompanied him for most of his time in the Ivory Empire. He already considered Sylphia a friend, part of his family, someone he cared for. They often talked about their adventures and experiences, but never about women.

He was at a loss for how to answer. Did he like that type of woman? Aldrian knew what she meant—she must be referring to Arin. From the outside, Arin's clothes might resemble something a prostitute would wear, but he never judged someone based on appearances. Now, with Sylphia's question, was she asking if he liked women who wore scanty clothes?

He is also human, a man, and he hasn't reached the point where he sees worldly lust as nothing more than flowing water, he'd be lying if he said he had no reaction when seeing a woman like that. Did he like it? Of course! For him, it's just another way to give his eyes some enjoyment.
