She focused on Jennifer. “Yes, but now we are all free. I am no longer enslaved."

Jennifer stared at Bitty, her mouth opening and closing before she finally spoke. "I had heard, obviously. Forgive my manners. You are the first gnome I have encountered since you were freed. How did this happen?"

"I can't tell you. At least not right now. It just is."

“My Goddess has not released me from her calling regarding Daniel and the others here. I sense you are somehow included in it. My Goddess is very interested in you, specifically. Do you know why?"

Bitty looked a little worried and shook her head.

"In time, it will be revealed. Please allow me to say that I am pleased you are free. Forced servitude is something my goddess frowns on. She believes in safe words and consent."

Bitty looked surprised and then smiled, nodding her head. “I understand."

Jennifer didn't look like she believed Bitty, but she nodded and looked at the others. "I should inform you Headmaster Cuirass was not pleased with me," she said.

Amy scowled. "Not pleased with you? Why?"

“He said my involvement was not the paladin way. He said we help the unfortunate, but that does not include witches. And their spell casters."

"But you did anyway. I'd say that makes you the better paladin," said Jasmine.

Jennifer smiled and again her white teeth shone from her perfectly tanned complexion. "My Goddess would agree with you."

"Who is your Goddess?" asked Amy.

"The headmaster has forbidden me to say. I am required to wear this gambeson at all times to hide the mark of my goddess on my armour."

"Can we see it? After all, we aren't even tested yet. We are just visitors really at this point." Jasmine smiled at her words.

Jennifer nodded. "I see the logic. It would please me to show you.

I am not accustomed to hiding it and it shames me."

Jennifer undid the clasps at the sides of the gambeson and pulled it off.

The women all gasped.

First, because they had never seen plate mail with such large cups for a woman's breasts. If she was filling those cups her tits were even larger than Amy's. Second, a rather large and crude drawing in white of a penis covered the front of the plate mail. Jennifer smiled and pulled out an amulet, which was also shaped Like a penis.

Jasmine gawked and then chuckled. And then laughed out loud. “You're a paladin of Syn?"

Jennifer smiled. "I am used to laughter. This is fine."

Jasmine held up a hand but kept laughing.

Amy frowned. “Jasmine, really. That's rude."
