"And a little like that... something like this... and... a bit... of this..."
I could feel my tongue poking out from the side of my lips as I tried to mimic what Anput had done, my dexterity that usually matched hers in a fight struggling slightly with these new movements as I helped her with the armor, folding and stitching the leather together to create a layered sheet that would eventually form a cuirass.
Softer leather on the inside for cushioning - both to absorb the blow and to feel comfortable when wearing it - while a harder, boiled leather was on the outside, meant to be the primary form of protection.
Then Anput wanted to layer some thin alloy scales on top of that boiled shell to make it harder to slash apart, whilst also giving it another layer of protection that would make something special; a hybrid armor that was light and comfortable whilst also providing a high amount of resistance to one of the most common forms of damage on the battlefield - slash.
