Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

Vasha finds a good Inn then, and books a room. If she can get one with a bath, she will be happy, but she is more concerned about price. "I'm willing to help work a bit of my bill off if you'd like too. I can do massages, serve, or even help clean up. As long as my other job can take precidence, I'll do what I can."

 

[Rystil Arden]

" 'Massages' eh? Well, there's a place where you can do that kind of thing and get board for free and get paid..."

 

[Bront]

Vasha looks curiously at whoever she's talking too "Realy? You had a strange inflection Massage. Are you sure we're speaking of the same thing?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, when you said Massage, you meant that you would sleep with the patrons, right?"

 

[Bront]

Vasha gasps "No!" she takes a deep breath "No, I ment a simple massage. A back rub. For relaxation and pain relief. I would never share pleasure with strangers for money. People have to pay for that? Where's the love? The Intimacy?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, OK. Well, you can probably find a place that will let you work as a waitress/masseuse at night for a bit of cash. Just ask them up front--I don't really have any need for one myself, though."

 

[Bront]

"Thank you." Vasha spends some time looking for a place where she can spend some time as a waitress or masseuse for a bit of extra cash or perhaps lodging.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*She looks around for a while, and eventually she finds an inn where the rooms cost two ruby Valryts and five topaz Valryts, but the innkeeper seems to like her, and he has offered to reduce the price by one ruby Valryt if she will work as a waitress and masseuse, and he'll reduce the price by the five topaz Valryts per night because she's staying for so long, so the total price is only one ruby Valryt.*

 

[Bront]

"Thank you" she says with a big smile. "It's been so hard finding anything here, and it's all so confusing. How often are you going to want me to work?"

She hands him her 2 ruby Valryt's up front "I'll get you more once I get paid."

Vasha helps out if she's needed, or if not, she will draw up a bath (asking if it's not a bath in her room, she even offers to use her own water) and relax for a bit, and then get some sleep before she has to work.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Ah, it's no problem. You can work whatever nights you are willing, and you'll save one ruby Valryt for each night.

*There is a bath at the end of the hall, though it appears to be empty at this hour, so Vasha can use it*
