Bret stood there for a few seconds her mouth open slightly as if shocked.
'Has this girl never received a compliment? She must have lived a very repressed life!'
A blush slowly spread over her body, starting at her cheeks and going from there. Instead of becoming anxious she relaxed even more and gave Gordon a speculative look.
'Yes! That compliment connected!!'
Rejoicing inside Gordon refused to let any of his triumph show. This was only the start.
"Thank you?"
She said, obviously shy and unsure how to respond.
"Did you pick this dress yourself? ... Sorry, I am not sure how this works. Do you have any control over what clothes you start out with?"
Curious, Gordon carefully took a step closer to her. He was actually interested in how the Skill Tome personality was initially produced.
Really he did not need to be closer and it actually restricted his ability to see her entire, all at once.
