Bella watched as Rhedyn poured the tea, her movements in completing the task delicate and graceful.  She thanked the other woman and brought her cup to her lips, blowing gently across the surface of the liquid.  She sipped as Rhedyn talked about the spa, which turned out to be part impromptu tour and part history lesson.<br/><br/>The Roman angle was an interesting one, and somewhat surprising.  Bella choked on her tea when Rhedyn mentioned that getting her spa services in the nude was an option. The thought had not even occurred to her.  Embarrassed at her visible reaction, she coughed and then cleared her throat, considering.  She wasn't shy about her body or nudity; hell, she tended to be liberal about most things.  But she turned her head slightly, looking at Mayerling. Perhaps, once he was finished greeting her and took his leave, she would strip down.  She was, after all, eager to experience the day as fully as possible, which apparently meant to experience it as the Romans would have.<br/><br/>Her eyes widened in surprise when Mayerling spoke after Rhedyn did.
