Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery, Part II

[Bront]

"Wow, that's wonderful! Come on Karya!"

Vasha drags Karya along on the Tour.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, drrat! I just rrealised that much as I'd love to take you on a tourr rright now, I need to wait for Virrina to get back to man the counterr. I'm sorrry--would you like me to get you to yourr bath firrst, orr would you prreferr to wait with me forr Virina?"

 

[Bront]

"How about you show us the bath first, and you can then fund us when she returns, though I would like to meet her as well. Ok?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I can't take you myself, but I'll make surre you get the best accomodations--Would you like to go to just the public bath or would you prreferr a prrivate rroom--perrhaps the Waterrfall Chambrre?"

 

[Bront]

"Ooh, the Waterfall Chamber sounds lovely, doesn't is Sister?"

"But maybe a public bath would be fun to start."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmm...they both sound lovely. Which one would you prefer, Sister?"

 

[Bront]

"Let's start with the public baths, then we can move to something private later if we want."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Ok, sure!"

"Alrright Auntie...errr Cousin...errr Vasha. Hold on: let me get someone--Cerise?" she calls out the last word and a pretty red-haired Rowaini girl in a two-piece bathing suit sashays down the hall from the baths to the entry room with the others.

"Yes, Miss Zarina? You have need of me?"

"Yes, thanks Cerise. Take our honoured guests to the public baths, okay?"

"Certainly ma'am. Right this way, miladies."

 

[Bront]

Vasha giggles "Auntie is fine if that's easiest for you Zarina."

Vasha follows Cerise.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Cerise takes Vasha and Karya down the hallway, leading the two into a large room, filled with what seems to be a large indoor lake, complete with a beautiful cascading waterfall and plenty of smiling, chatting, laughing people, both men and women, but all wearing two-piece and one-piece bathing suits as they soak in the water. All around the room, there are many doors, which seem to lead into private baths.*

"Do you two ladies have bathing suits? Either way, you probably want to head to the changing room, yes?" she asks sweetly, with a slight bow to Karya and Vasha.
