<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/36/Livia.jpg)</div>The heat bled new into the sands as the gladiators were woken and called upon to move body and soul out beneath the glaring sun to train. Caris had run to ground any provision she could acquire about the house and made note of it. Stock taking every sheet, herb and drink within the Ludus for Livia would require them for sure. A bath was set for the Domina and calling one other house slave, they attended to her as she stood by the edge of the bath. Slowly Livia was undressed and with elegance she stepped into the bath, lowering herself down to enjoy the cooling waters about her skin.<br/><br/>A smile came to her as Caris began to wash her Domina, hands gliding with cloth across the bare smooth skin as the slaves thoughts went to the previous night when she had allowed Patrocles to take her and take her. Her body all but shivered with desire even now and she hoped that he would not turn away from her from  here on in. Livia on the other hand was not thinking about the delicious body that she had ravished the night before though he came unbidden to thought when Caris's hand idly brushed over her Domina's breasts.<br/><br/>No, Livia was deep in contemplation as to her next move with this Ludus. It seemed better by far for her to sell the Ludus Metalla in the heart of the town and bring all her dealings here, all her business. The air was cleaner and there was by far less noise, no matter that there would be plenty of grunts and roars during the hours of training. Onwards her thought pattern maneuvered until she was finished with her bath and rose once again from the water to have her servant wrap a loose palla about her. Slivers of her body were visible, water beading on succulent skin as she moved out to what was now her chamber.<br/><br/>The other house servant and Caris patted her dry before lavishing every inch of their Domina with creams to scent and soften the skin. Hair brushed, dressed and adorned, clothing of impeccable elegance placed upon her, Livia was ready to greet the day. She would have breakfast out on the balcony, it would be most interesting to see her new acquistions in their alloted roles. How would the gallatrix take to being ordered by Aulus and how would the young soldier take to his new position? A smile came to her lips as Caris poured her some wine and placed some flat breads and fruits for her then stood back and off to the side, wondering if she would see Patrocles on the sands this morning.
