The Butcher's Bride
In their place, I wore the dress Rhea had scavenged from the camp's stores.
It was nothing like the dresses back home. It was made of soft, dark leather and dyed crimson linen. It fit tight to the bodice, laced up the front with rawhide strings, and flared at the waist into a skirt that was slashed high on the thigh for movement. It was a dress meant for dancing, for running, for fighting.
"You look..." Rhea stepped back, her eyes wide. "You look dangerous."
