17.
I step out of the bathroom, completely in black.
Wearing black boots, trousers, a long sleeve shirt and a light hoodie jacket, I face Isabelle.
"Wow... This really looks nice", she says to me.
I honestly have to agree with her.
Although I don't exactly know how I look, I still feel good about it.
She goes around me to examine everything.
" Nice... But you have to wear these."
The woman in front of me hands me a piece of fabric.
It turns out to be a face cover.
I put it on my mouth and strap it behind my neck.
Bottom half of my face is covered now.
Then she gives me a pair of black leather gloves which I put on.
They fit surprisingly like a second skin.
"So... You have to be careful with this one", she shows me a piece of fabric with a silver crescent on it - the symbol that the Elder showed me earlier and everyone here is wearing.
She puts it over my clothes on my left upper arm.
" I would say you are ready... The only thing left is your hood, then your face will be completely hidden. You may put it on now, please."
I do as she said and a feeling of relief and security overcomes me as soon as I am completely covered.
I am about to ask her about this feeling and why I am not wearing the same uniform they wear, but I get interrupted by someone knocking on the door, which Isabelle opens.
Well. It turns out to be Feycal.
"I don't know why ...but I feel much safer seeing him ...I think I don't...hm. I might have missed him."
I quickly shake the thought out of my head.
"Good morning River, I hope you feel better."
"I am good."
"Good, I am sorry if I sound harsh but we both are in a rush. So come on.
We need to go now.
Thank you Isabelle."
With that he goes out of the room.
"I think I should follow him..."
I turn around to thank her and say goodbye before following the already gone man.
