❅ Three (Text)

A friend brought up an interesting point; one that I do not think many have considered. In our world, it is common for women to wear dresses - or, at the very least, skirts - and for men to wear pants. Why do you think the practice differs in other worlds? Is it simply for convenience's sake? Does it have to do with the environment or are your worlds particularly combative?

If women need to fight, I cannot imagine them doing so in long dresses!

(There was a time she would not have been caught dead in pants, but they have a use. Arya had been right.)

I suppose I can. To be completely honest, though, it's hard. Things are really different where and when I'm from. Maybe not as different as they should be, though.

If you ever want to try pants, one of the shops had some good options the other day. Comfortable and practical.

I think what should be changes from person to person. I'm not certain why society must press rules upon people who do not injure anyone by not abiding by them.

I will give it some thought. I can move easily enough as I am.

Then it sounds like you're all set for now. Good luck finding something if you do go looking, though. Pants or skirts.

Thank you. I hope I have not offended you.

Me? Oh, not at all. Don't worry. I have thick skin.
