*Offers big cup of hot choclate*

"Well, whatever you're most comfortable with. You be you-whichever you that happens to be at the time. But if I were in your shoes, I think I'd probably be wearing my built-in 'fur coat' during winter, and let my scales soak in the sun during summer."

"Mmh, there's something nice about wearing something though, particularly during cold days. A bit like snuggling with a blanket. Besides, today's a 'me' day."

"Say, you DO take your clothes off regularly, right? ....um, that came out wrong. I mean, do you have difficulty carefully peeling the skin-tight latex off your body by yourself... Oh, THAT'S not right either, making it sound like I'm offering to help you take your clothes off!... can we keep walking? I think everyone near us overheard me and are staring... I just,- I just mean it's kind of odd to always be wearing your maid outfit outside of work. It's not a bad idea right now as an extra layer of protection against the cold, but you do normal clothes you wear instead of your work uniform and not just in addition to it, right? Or does most of it still only fit Zeydaan and you're still trying to build up an Isabella-exclusive wardrobe?"

"The latter's on the money- though I do like to wear cosplay a lot of the time. I guess the work uniform is sorta an excuse to wear it every day. Besides, helps to establish a look if I ever go adventuring."

(this was a little hard because an in-universe person probably WOULD know)

"Forgive my ignorance, but I have not paid much attention to the 'Adventuring' aspect of the cultural zeitgeist. What even IS 'Adventuring' these days? For me, the first time I ever visited Europe with paid guides, bus drivers, and scheduled hotel stays was an adventure. The time I was twelve and dad took us kids up the Pacific coast in a camper van from San Fran to Seattle and back with just a couple of guide books even more so. I assume you aren't talking sneaking into the home of another dragon, killing them, and taking their property for yourself. Oh. Heh! I just imagined you and the other girls at the Cafe doing a reverse old-fashioned adventure- cosplaying as Assassins' Creed characters and breaking into the manor of some rich human to steal back a magic chalice or spellbook his knightly ancestor swiped from, say, your own mother centuries ago."

“Well. Me and a small band of friends often unite together to explore ancient caverns, offworld settlements or planes. As the modern equivalent of a tavern worker, it’s fairly easy to act as a muse to wannabe heroes.

(I actually kinda regret asking about adventuring now because it's a tangent that has nothing to do with the subject of the original image, ie, Isabella's winter clothes)

"Say, aren't your wings cold all spread out like that like in this weather? Your tail looks nice and thick enough to have plenty of vessels pumping hot blood to all the muscle, but your wings look so thin and with such a large surface area..." *stretches out thumb and forefinger as though to gently pinch/rub the edge of a wing to feel its thickness, but yanks hand back at last second* "Oops, sorry! Telling a dragon-girl that her tail looks thick may or may not be a slappable offense, but I'm guessing touching her wings without permission certainly is. Sure, 'if you've got'em, flaunt'em', but I'm just saying we could go buy a nice thick woolen cloak or cape for you, so you could fold your wings up and keep them snuggled under it if you wanted."

"Glad you didn't touch them, who knows, I could've cuuursed you."

Wow that's absolutely awesome great job a

I just always assumed the dress was part of her body

It used to be, that’s been retconned, though, I do still like this concept.

oh so at one point I was right
