Murim Recurve Chapter 71

Re'Kha gazed outside for some duration, hearing the conversations of the people seated within the cycle rickshaws. She then heard knocks on the door, walking into the living room before opening the door, watching the servant return with a cotton bag.
After giving her a light bow, the servant placed the cotton bag on the table, "Ma'am, your clothes are in it. If you want more sophisticated and luxurious clothes, please summon me. I'll take your measurements and get them stitched."
"The 21 RuQi placed next to it is for you take," Re'Kha motioned with her line of sight, glancing at the three coins placed on the table: two 10 RuQi coins, and one 1 RuQi coin. The cost of the clothes was 20 RuQi, but she had kept 21 RuQi. The servant immediately understood that the extra coin was a tip for her. She beamed with a smile and making an even deeper bow, stating before her exit, "When you are refreshed, please come to the counter on the ground floor to complete your registration."
Re'Kha nodded and looked into the bag through her Wind Qi perception, finding the fabric and the design be something she was used to wearing. She was more comfortable with such an attire than the one she currently wore.
The dressing styles of the people were distinct depending on their affiliation. The primary classification was the dresses of the five Clans: water, metal, fire, lightning, and royals.
Throughout their country, all Harmonisers from a water-based Clan wore the same dress. It wasn't because of imperial law, but rather their willingness to wear so. Even the dress they wore conformed to their respective elements, keeping them more attuned to their elements.
The women among the Re Clan wore a tight-fitting deep-blue frock that reached their knees without any frills. It was sleeveless while they wore a shoulder pad on their dominant arm, shaped into a triangular extension over the tip of which a rectangular piece of cloth was hung. The rectangular piece of cloth was light blue while the rest was dark blue, usually.

Ribbons of silk curled over the arms from the sleeve, usually connected to the blue armguard—made from cloth. Some women chose to tie up the ribbons into a circle above their elbows. Some coiled the ribbons in the same pattern as their respective Tikka jewellery.
Worn over their frock was a sleeveless stiff leather jacket, outlining their features while giving them base protection. They wore blue leather stockings that reached their knees, the material elastic to provide ease of movement. The frock too was made to be elastic, after all, every Harmoniser fought.
So, their dresses evolved to use lightweight fabric that also protected the Harmoniser. Moreover, it conformed to the element of the wielder, enhancing their advantage. Every dress worn by a Re Clan Harmoniser was waterproof and water-resistant, allowing the user to move freely in the water without their fabric hindering their progress.
As a Harmoniser, Re'Kha was habituated to her Clan's dress, so she didn't prefer wearing anything else, even during normal occasions. After all, she felt the most relaxed and comfortable in it. It was why she had ordered for one immediately.
In their state of Burlong, every Harmoniser Clan attuned to the water element had a prefix of Re to their names. The prefix varied from state to state. In the state of Burlong, the water Clans had the prefix of Re, the metal Clans had the prefix of Ju, the fire Clans had the prefix of Ka, and finally, the lightning Clans had the prefix of Vi.
A person's name showed their place of origin. Burkurel Re'Kha symbolised her origin from Burkurel City and her attunement to Burkurel City's water Clan. A normal citizen's name from the same city would be like Burkurel Cha.
So, usually, when addressing a Harmoniser, unless they were from the same city, they were addressed in their full name. When Re'Kha inquired about the lift to the servant, the servant replied with 'Ju Clan's successor.' In that statement, she meant it was the successor to the Burfuna City's Ju Clan.

Re'Kha took a bath and changed into her new clothes, feeling her body relax automatically. She then strapped a pouch—containing money—to her hip, exited the room, and placed the key in it. A servant immediately arrived at her service, "Ma'am…my lady, can I help you?"
"I haven't registered yet," Re'Kha replied with a nod. She didn't strap the ribbon part to her dress; instead, she used one of them to cover her eyes.
"Then, I'll lead you there," The servant bowed, ringing the bell twice before taking a step back, watching a platform slowly move up from the ground floor. In the meantime, she glanced at Re'Kha, noticing her fully covered state.
Re'Kha wore a hood on her head, covering till her forehead while her ribbon covered her eyes. A cast of the sunlight that seeped through the open space highlighted the visage of her face, stunning the servant, sending her in a trance before the arrival of the lift broke her out of it.
'Who is this lady? She's incredibly pretty. It wasn't apparent in her old clothes before.' The servant then felt puzzled, gazing at Re'Kha, "My lady, may I ask you about something?"
"Yes?" Re'Kha turned around, gazing at her face as she smiled.
"N-Nothing," The servant opened the gate and motioned for her to enter, noticing Re'Kha walk without any trouble, despite being blindfolded. She gazed at her blindfold, noticing the faint fluttering of her eyelids.
As the lift began to descend, the servant was finally unable to curb her curiosity, asking, "My lady, why have you blindfolded yourself? And, how come you are still able to walk without trouble?"
"You know how this ribbon is semi-transparent right?" Seeing the servant nod, Re'Kha smiled, "I only see once every ten steps. My master recommended I do so. Just consider it a form of training we Harmonisers do."
The servant gawked in admiration, opening the gates once the lift reached the ground floor.

Pillars Between Us
It started with the dent left by the Forest Sprite; A small crack in the ice that encased his memories. Curtis knew that something was off, realizing that he wasn’t who he thought he was and— perhaps Ellis wasn’t the one meant for him. --It's a fantasy novel set in a world where people inhabit on pillars-- (think of m*necaft sky block, you'll get what I mean) -- then give it a hint of action, mystery and (twisted) romance-- and it's influenced by Japanese fantasy light novels (cuz I read a lot of em'). But I'm sure it's a weird one cuz the style of writing isn't the Japanese to English translated kind of style but rather the orthodox English novel kind of writing (which includes a bunch of errors and broken English thanks to me!). In any case, if you're up for it, just beware the story starts out pretty slow.. I mean-- back then, I was still inexperienced ok! I'm gettin' better along the way, Hmmph!
