The water dripped reluctantly, each particle dribbling feebly. It was hardly what one would call a proper bathe, though at least, in the long run, the one who used it was clean. With a sigh and a ring of long dark hair; Amethyst stepped out of the curtained part of a rather small room and draped a towel are her small form. On the small wooden counter sat her silk ashen-black bag and a small velvet pouch; which in turn contained several golden clips that had held her hair back moments ago. The mirror was cracked in several places; though in this particular inn, she couldn't remember back far enough when it hadn't been, the ceiling was peeling and the walls had holes or dents. It reminded her of a slaughter house; just plain thinking of it raised the bumps on her arms.<em>”Nothing to worry about...”</em>She whispered to herself as she gently let her towel drop into a basket which had a turntable lid, before turning to look at her naked form in the mirror. Bruises shadowed her ribs and hips, aswel as a large slice that ran along the right side of her waist and doubled around to her belly button;<em>”that better not scar...”</em>She hissed grimly as her finger delicately traced over the line with but a wince on her part.<br/><br/>After a while of letting herself dry, Amethyst had pulled on a gown made of silk in the colour of peaches, much the same colour of the fruit that had grown on the trees south of Dimat. It clung to her frame closely as she made her way back down the stairs towards the Inn foyer, pooling elegantly at her feet and draping along the floor. She spotted the group to which she sought and stepped lightly with sandals made of leather; over liquid that had been accidentally bumped off tables or dropped. Unsure of the conversations at hand and to what velocity they had reached; the ancient slipped silently into the booth, smiling as the silk slid smoothly over her clean and almost glowing skin. Whispering to who ever heard the Ancient said;<em>”did I miss anything too interesting?”</em>Before she settled into the booth once again next to Kalin and let her fingers embrace a glass of light coloured liquid that she had ordered before her departure.<br/>
