"I accept the bargain," Erica said. He was playing a hero, after all. And though Erica did not remember it, she knew what must have happened before she had arrived in this world "Why don't you have some food while I get changed?"
Mika sat down at the fire, and began to eat while Erica remained in the wagon to change.
"Do you always need to make deals with people to be social with them?" Erica asked, as she removed what was left of her previous clothes
"Not after the first bargain has been struck," Mika said "As long as both sides are agreeable to the bargain, we can be more familiar with each other. Why do you ask?"
"I'd like to get to know you better," Erica said "Maybe it's just that I'm not used to your customs, but I'm not sure how I would make several different bargains to get information out of you."
Mika laughed "You don't need to worry about that. If we had to make bargains for everything, we'd never get anything done. Bargains are just for binding others to their word."
Erica's hands stopped where they were about to close the belt around the leather skirt. "I'm bound?" she asked
"Not literally," Mika assured her "I don't have the magic to do that. Just a cultural belief of my people. We believe in keeping our word and honour. You have no magical compulsion or magical penalty to breaking your word, but my people will know, and they will not look favourably upon it. It's against our cultural beliefs."
Erica resumed getting dressed. "That's alright, then," she said "I don't intend to break my word."
Erica had tried to avoid looking at her new body as she dressed, but she noticed Mika had included a corset in the clothes, which she would have to look at her breasts to put on. She took a deep breath, and began doing up the corset. She felt no arousal looking at her own body. Was she no longer attracted to girls? She tried imagining the beautiful Mika in a bikini, and the stirring in her vagina returned. She didn't realize she had been rubbing at it until her fingers came away wet. She shook herself out of her thoughts, and pulled on the shirt, completing her simple clothing. The corset accentuated her feminine body shape, making it extremely obvious she was an attractive female, with shapely ass, long dark red hair and breasts that were a little too big for her lithe form. To complete her outfit, she pulled on tights and a pair of comfortable shoes. Now dressed, she looked at the weapon and armour Mika had found for her. The weapon was a rapier. It had a few scuffs on the handle, indicating it had seen use, but unsheathing the blade, she saw it was in good condition. Leaving the armour, as it would be difficult to sleep in, she did buckle on the rapier before joining Mika at the fire.
