"I... am not going to defend modesty as a concept. But it's not only about oppression? Or rather..." he pauses to think. "People often seek structure to feel like they have some sense of control. So they come up with silly rules before they know any better or know ways to deal with problems. So they go 'cover your genitals' because they don't know how to stop unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases."

"Sexual diseases. That... sounds worrying."

"You guys don't have those? Or... are you sure you don't have those?"

"Well, no, I'm not sure." He looks down at his unblemished penis. "I don't think I have any, though."

Thomas kneels down and gives the beautiful unblemished penis an exaggeratedly inquisitive look.

"Sorry for worrying you. It's possible that you don't because of your healing magic. Or it simply didn't spread to where you live. And there are ways to prevent infection. And pregnancies for that matter."

"Also, the three of us are safe."

"We have moon tea for unwanted pregnancies, that should be just fine."

    "Safe?" asks Sendhei.

"We don't have any diseases like that. Or any diseases, the tavern between worlds - which is called Milliways - we got things from there that mean we won't get sick from nearly anything."

"Oh, good to know about the moon tea thing."

"I am pretty sure my world used to have something like that. The plant went extinct because people used it too much."

"Not ever having any diseases sounds extremely handy though."

"It was a shot of a substance called 'vaccine'. We didn't bring any with us... we might be able to figure something out with crystal magic. Crystal magic can on itself cure people from diseases too. But both applications are rather complex."

"Too bad we didn't bring Henry Doctor and Gabe Nurse."

"Neither of those words refer to anything we have," says Taharqi with some awe. "Not... exactly, anyway."

"Which words?"

"Doctor and nurse."

"Ah, okay. Anyway, I am not making any promises, but diseases in general sound like a far more tractable problem now that we are here."

"Anyway-anyway, we lost sight of the original point. Which I am pretty sure is that Henry should be naked like everyone else. Or something like that."

Henry demonstrates he can move really fast and throw pieces of fabric with pretty good accuracy. At least at targets the size of Thomas' face.

Sendhei giggles and Taharqi rolls his eyes.

"Thanks for the prize. I shall treasure it always."

"Okay, now that I went native, may we get back to work?"

They may! Building building building.

Building!
