--- During Colin's conquest, the Companions POV's. First POV: The Two Vivians and their group ---

"Hey, Vivian! Doesn't this suit me?" Viv does a small spin wearing a red dress.

"It looks great!" Vivian quickly gives Viv her opinion while she keeps on searching for clothes for herself.

Their group is currently shopping in clothing stores and the entire group is women.

"Lily, don't be afraid! Show yourself!" Ann, one of the guild members, forcibly pulls Lily out of the changing room and she comes out wearing a bikini.

"Ann! I told you I'm not ready yet!" Lily immediatly looks at Ann.

"You are though!" Ann just laughs back.

"I meant mentally!" Lily shouts back.

"Don't worry, Colin isn't here and Tiron and Silan's group is somewhere completely different anyways!" Ann immediatly responds and everybody starts laughing while Lily goes back into the changing room whilst blushing.

Memui suddenly comes out of the changing room in a business suit-like clothing.

"So where are we going after this? We've visited almost all the shops in this city and seen most of the sights since Colin's been stuck in that damn tower for this long." Memui immediatly complains about Colin whilst also looking at herself in the mirror.

"I don't know where we should go today... Hey! How about the tallest tower in the castle! I bet the view's great up there!" Vivian suddenly suggests.

"It would but can we even get up there? Wouldn't the guards stop us?" Viv instantly worries about many things.

"Don't worry, don't worry! We know somebody called Colin who knows somebody called Dominic who just might be the lord of this place! I mean. If we ask nicely enough, Colin won't be able to refuse." Lily immediatly comes up with a plan while peeking over a curtain.

All the girls immediatly agree on that plan and after they finish shopping, they head towards Colin's office.

--- Meanwhile, Tiron's and Silan's group. ---

"Hey Silan, what's up with that girl who's always following you?" Douglas, a guild member, asks.

"You mean Nephy? I don't exactly know but is something wrong with it?" Silan asks back and Douglas doesn't answer.

The entire men's group, and Nephy, enters a restaurant to rest their legs and fill their stomachs since they were exploring the streets far too much.

"So what do we do after this? Oh, I'll take the usual." Xavier asks while answering the butler who takes orders.

"We haven't really seen what's outside the city now have we? I heard there's quite a few ruins surrounding the city which are harmless as they don't have any secrets since they are just sculptures. They aren't quite far from here, if you have good vision you can see them from the wall." Tiron suggests one thing to do and everybody agrees.

"Oh but, just in case, let's get some sort of weapons with us. A few swords should do. Never know if a goblin or two jump out." Douglas also gives his thought on the matter.

"It's a plan then. Colin won't be stopping us either since he hasn't even descended from that tower of his much. I mean he does properly come to sleep in the mansion but that's about all we see of him nowadays." Silan says with some slight dissapointment in his voice.

After they finish eating, they start heading outside of the city to explore the sculptures.
