   It was not much later after M’Ria read «The Colorful Khajiit» and «Khajiiti Honorifics», as well as some other books about Khajiit culture and history. They took a boat from Leyawiin to the southern Elsweyr city – Senchal. Finally, they arrived to Elsweyr.
   – Finally here! – M’Ria exclaims, stepping on the wooden pier from the boat, – I’ve never been here before. So this’s a Khajiit home looks like?..
   M’Ria went beside Maks, sightseeing. M’Ria unusual fur color attracted a few glances from bypassing Khajiits, not aggressive though. M’Ria felt somewhat self-conscious about their attention and moved closer to Maks, unconsciously seeking reassurance.
   – They do wear such vibrant clothes... – she mused, recalling the book content.
   – Indeed, – Maks echoed.
   As they get to the Senchal western district, M’Ria spotted a signboard saying «Cat's-Paw Colorings». Noticing her interest, Maks asked, “Want to go in and take a look?
   – Can we?.. – she beamed with excitement. They both entered the chironasium and, M'Ria could swear, an explosion of colors hit her eyes. The shop exhibited various fabrics, tapestries and carpets, one is brighter than another. The shopkeeper, a mature cheetah spotted suthay-raht woman clad in vibrant blue and gold dress, greeted them.
   – Welcome to the «Cat's-Paw Colorings», – she chirped with genuine smile. Looks like she enjoys her work very much, – How may Namasi be of your service? To this one’s shame, the supplies from Black Heights has been delayed, so Namasi can’t offer much, – she lowered her head in sorry.
   – Oh, don’t worry, we just came to look around, – M’Ria reassured Namasi, – Your shop is so beautiful and the colors... Wait, did you say “Black Heights”? I’ve read about this town in one book, does it still stand? The book was very old...
   – Of course it stands, moon sugar! – Namasi said, her tail waving slightly. She didn’t pay much attention to M’Ria referring to herself in the first person, – And supplies us with its coloring pigments and colored fabrics. It’s not far from there, northwest from Senchal. This one assumes the book was «The Colorful Khajiit», yes? It pleasures Namasi to hear today’s youth still likes to read, – the shopkeeper sounded like she had some troubles with her own young ones.
   – Oh, it does? – M’Ria chirped, her tail twitched in anticipation, – That’s good to hear!
   Maks, noticing her excitement, offered, "Well, we could afford some detour".
   – Really? – his mate beamed in delight, – Awesome! Maybe we could even check why the supplies were delayed.
   – Oh, this one would be grateful! – Namasi bowed slightly.

   After some time, a few road bandits that disrupted supplies, and Maks’s quiet grunt about «side quests», they arrived to Black Heights. Just as the book said, town was almost dripping with colors. Maks went to the Colorworks to say that no bandits left on the road, and M’Ria left for sightseeing. It wasn’t big town, so M’Ria quickly found Maks in Colorworks. The owner had just offered Maks a reward when she entered.
   – ...ty drakes, – M’Ria heard only the last words of the owner when he, a tiger striped cathay, noticed her, – Oh, is this your companion? – he asked, quickly noticing a new face in the town.
   – So, what if Jo’Bisha, – he accentuated the «i» in his name. Looks like he was confused with Jo’basha-the-bookseller, – Offer something else in reward? – Jo’Bisha asked, noticing M’Ria’s genuine interest in bright colored fabric.
   – Ah? – M’Ria chirped puzzlingly.
   – This one doesn’t have many coin, but Jo’Bisha could ask a friend there to sew a nice dress for young lady, – the cathay said, – If that's what you like.
   – I... – M’Ria looked at Maks and after receiving a subtle nod, continued, – I’d like that.
   – Splendid! – Jo’Bisha clapped his hands, – This one will arrange it shortly.

   Soon M’Ria was in her new dress. It was not a “dress”, but more likely a crop top and knee-length skirt, accentuating her curves. The soft silk felt wonderfully on her fur, and sunny-yellow main color with grass-green trim contrasted so nicely with her bluish fur. The outfit was completed with a yellow choker and barefoot sandals. M’Ria span around with glee, showing herself off to Maks. Her new skirt fluttered, revealing her toned thighs.
   – Well, I guess not all side quests are boring, – Maks said quietly, looking appreciatively at his happy girl, – You look beautiful.
   M’Ria’s smile only got wider as she hugged him in response.
