Astra Wants New Clothes

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 37990

As Manathus left the throne room, Fred and Astra looked at each other in stunned disbelief. "It seems as though these invisible chains will compel us to do whatever he wants," Astra said. "I was all set to say 'no' to his offer, when I found myself saying 'yes'. Please don't be offended, Fred, but after all I've only known you a very short time and any thought of marriage seems premature. Plus I don't want to be Manathus' puppet on the throne."

"I quite understand, Astra. I feel exactly the same. Now, how much slack do we have in our magical bonds?"

Whilst Astra remained seated, Fred paced down the room. He had taken no more than twenty steps when Astra found herself being tugged, not at her wrists as she had anticipated but in her mind, and had to rise and follow him. At the same time, Fred felt himself being pulled backwards.

"It looks like we're going to be in very close proximity from now on," Fred said.

"Yes. We must find a way to break free. Meanwhile, though, I'm not very happy with Manathus' idea of suitable attire for me. I'd like to go round the castle and look for something more suitable, if you're willing. I obviously can't go on my own."

"All right. What exactly is your problem with what you're wearing, though?"

  1. "I can't stand pink."
  2. "I can't remember the last time that I wore a gown. I'd like to find myself something more suitable for a warrior."
  3. "There's a very tight corset under the dress, and it's very uncomfortable."
  4. "Well, just look at it! The top is too low-cut, the skirt is too short, and it's too tight."
