Chapter 28 - The problems with dress uniforms for aliens

Adam stretched his legs as the doctor was taking out the last of the medical devices that were stuck inside him. He was surprised at how fast it had taken him to heal an organ that, by all rights should have been completely obliterated. "Thank you for everything you have done miss." Adam gave his appreciation to the woman, who was packing all of the medical equipment so that her assistants could carry them back to the medical wing.

"It was no problem, Sir. Your case is highly unusual. We hardly ever get to see the regeneration of a limb let alone a vital organ, so watching the recovery of your kidney was a great experience for the entire medical team." The Khaf stated in happiness. her lithe figure making it easy to pack everything away cleanly so that her assistants wouldn't have any part dragging behind them.

"I'm glad my body was a valuable medical find." Adam joked, not really noticing if the khaf found it funny or not. "I'll call for you again if I ever need medical aid." Adam finished with a smile, waving the woman off as she exited the room. Adam thought he had some free time to stretch his legs, but before the door even closed on the medical staff, Charles rushed in.

"Master, are you finally able to walk again?" the metal covered mount asked. For his part, Adam's hand moved over to the carapace hiding the still healing skin that was stitched back together. Going from his dressed and protected wound to Charles, Adam could see that the energy in the slave's voice was matched by the energy in his movements.

"Yes, Charles. I am finally able to get out of this room." Adam replied. Almost immediately leaping out of his bed and onto the floor right in front of his cupboard. Just feeling the weight of his body resting upon his legs was a refreshing feeling. the potential of actions that Adam could do now filled his mind as he smiled. "Do you want to come with me to my parade training? I need to learn officers drill for when I need to lead any parade events."

"Anything would be better than this master." The mount stated. He had the issue of being so loyal to Adam that he refused to leave the human alone even though he had not seen outside the room in a good while. Adam opened up the cupboard to see the new uniform hanging there. He would marvel at the fabrics woven together for the dress uniform. He had been told that all dress uniforms would be held back until the second month to allow for more military training for the first month, where the second month could be allowed a more lenient training regimen to allow for the presentation of the fleet to shine through.

"Tell Barruni that she isn't allowed into my room until I leave," Adam ordered Charles. It had gotten a lot easier to get used to the unquestioning obedience of slaves over the weeks he needed them to do many of his normal tasks for him. What he still couldn't get used to though, was getting changed in the same room as an alien he could be attracted to, so he had pre-emptively reminded himself that any time he needed to get changed, that Alluris would not be allowed in the room.

Adam tried to put the pants on first, but even though the tailors had gotten a lot right in terms of how human clothing was able to be fit. These clothes seemed to serve function over form in a big way. "Really, how am I supposed to put this on?" Adam complained to himself, the pants were split in half at the feet, meaning one had t basically zip the pants from the bottom up. That wouldn't be so bad if the zippers weren't added to the damn design. Adam expected that they would look great when put on, but for the process to put it on... it was a nightmare to do on one's own.

"Master, I don't see why you are so against having your second slave dress you."

"Barruni." Adam cut in. It seemed to become part of the two's passive-aggressive battle between each other. Charles wouldn't refer to Barruni by her name, always referring to her as some kind of slave. And while Adam didn't mind them having their own personalities, he wished they could just get along.

"Yes, Barruni is perfectly capable to handle the clothing of you, master. you do not need to take the difficulty of donning clothes that were designed to be put on a person on your own." Adam let out a chuckle at Charles' statement.

"Seems I'm rubbing off on you Charles. Though I couldn't think of a better way to say it, that definitely sounds like something I would say." Adam stated as he tried to put on the shirts. They had the same issue except with the pants being one piece, the shirts were multiple layers of clothing all designed to be linked together to create an impressive looking outfit. "But I do not have the desire to... Argh." Adam stopped himself from growling as the shirts fell to the ground despite Adam's attempts to make them stay on his body.

"Master, you do not have time to learn it. if you keep this up you will be late." Charles warned him, causing Adam to snap out of his irritation.

"Fine, bring her in." Adam grumbled, his fear of failure at this point overwhelming his fear of embarrassment. Watching Barruni walk back in, Adam turned away. he was naked other than his underwear and seeing someone so conventionally attractive to a human set off the same "Need to hide my body" instincts as if he was looking at an actual human in this state.

"Why did it take you this long to ask for me master?" Barruni just stated in irritation as she walked up to the barely clothed male. picking up the pants and starting to dress Adam with surprising ease compared to when he did it. Adam's mind was racing with thoughts Barruni could be thinking right now, he wasn't looking at her, but he expected the worst.

"Turn around," Barruni stated in annoyance, It didn't make Adam turn out of reflex, but after a moment of hesitation he followed her instructions, there was no reason to run away now. It was happening and it was better if he got over it. "Acting-" Barruni spoke under her breath, Adam could only hear the first word as his face was covered with part of the shirts. There was a translation option o overhear anything a slave was saying, but Adam had turned that function off.

It only took five minutes for Adam to be fully dressed, and as he looked in the mirror, he cut an imposing image. The primary color for the uniform was black, with gold trim and purple accents which cut a royal figure. the more he looked at it, the more he could see how dark the gold and purple was, leading to a more intimidating and tyrannical look. His gloves managed to be a shade of purple to make a striking difference from the shiny and reflective black, giving an air of severity when he pointed.

"Well, do I look intimidating?" Adam said, turning around to zip up the last of his uniform. leaving only his eyes open below his hat. this got a laugh out of Charles and a surprised look from Barruni.

"To think that you would change from a fleshy, weak human into an image that could command power." Charles let out, causing Adam to laugh.

"Yeah, the dark tone to everything really adds that tyrannical light to the clothing." There was that word again, tyrannical. In spite of all the upgrades the slave translators gave to Barruni and Charles, they still couldn't comprehend what the term tyrannical meant other than something akin to Vanid.

"Is that all you need me for Master?" Barruni asked earnestly, Adam expected after the situation she wanted to leave his presence for a while.

"I will be out for lessons for a good while. If you have no tasks then you are free to do as you wish." With those freeing words, Barruni left the room before Adam could even begin walking, causing him to turn to Charles with a smile. "Well then, let's have some fun."
