(Sorry this took forever but here ya go everybody :D )

Even after the damage, the storm had caused the Cat-taur market was just as lively as it was before. Cat-Taurs standing at their booths selling plants, clothing, food, and a lot more. You and the herd wandered around trying to find anything that you wanted or needed. But right now the only thing you wanted and needed was to run away and lock yourself in the hotel room for the rest of the day. The outfit that Wammawink gave you was a teeny bit too small, in the skirt area to be specific.

The skirt was just barely covering your rear area and it was hot outside so Wammawinks warm wool that was used to make it didn't help. At least Zulius lent you some black leggings to save you the embarrassment and they were tailored to fit your human form. You noticed how some cat-Taurs eyed you. You awkwardly pull the pink hoodie with googly eyes over your head to avoid eye contact with anyone as you sheepishly slow down your walking. Stabby, who was hanging on to Durpletons neck noticed how uncomfortable you were and descended to your level.

"Are you okay, Y/N?" He asked in a concerned tone, "You look red as blood." Jeremy who was sitting on your shoulder also turned your way.

"Oh-it's because of the wool I think, it's pretty hot out here." You said and you pulled the hoodie more over your face. Stabby raised an eyebrow (or eyeball they don't have eyebrows) and looked over to the cat-taurs who were looking at you.

"If you want I could..." he slowly pulled his dagger from his back before Durpleton stopped him by grabbing his hand.

"Uh-uh-uh Stabby, what did we talk about over a bajillion times? No hate crimes." Stabby rolled his eyes but politely put away his dagger. Durpleton looked over to you.

"Do you not like the outfit, Y/N?" He asked putting a hand on your shoulder. You blushed harshly making your body temperature rise more.

"O-Of course I like it, even though it's a bit hot. Besides I don't wanna hurt Wammawink's feelings." Zulius overheard the conversation and speed walked back towards you and the others to join the conversation.

"Don't worry, girl" Zulius said while putting his arm around your shoulder, "Wammawink will understand, besides your sweating so much that it's starting to make a trail." You looked behind you to notice that you left a trail of sweat across the market from the burning heat. You turned red from embarrassment, that was probably the most humiliating thing that has happened to you.

After a few minutes of walking you all finally found the clothing section of the Cat-taur market. Most of the clothing sold there was made for centaurs specifically so that would be a bit of a problem. Tops like tee shirts and hoodies are fine. It's the pants and skirts that were a problem because they were made for four legs, not two. So you had to choose wisely.

You admired all the wonderful dresses and outfits that were hung onto cat-taur-shaped mannequins. From shimmering satin to twinkling sequins to...I don't know much about fabric. So many choices, yet you could only make one. You went with Zulius and Jeremy to check things out since Zulius had a vast knowledge of fashion. Meanwhile the others were off doing their own thing.

"So what kind of clothing are you into?" Zulius asked as he walked next to you.

"It doesn't matter really, just something that can resist years of traveling. Like the Tee shirt and Ruana I wore when we met."

"Well how do you plan on traveling if you don't have anything to trade?".

"I don't need anything fancy really...though it wouldn't hurt to find something pretty but comfortable." Zulius nodded and he scanned the area for something that you would like.
