"Yes.  Something I overheard from another of the patrons, actually."  That should relax her.  She was probably thinking another of the girls - Hanae, if he had to go by contact time - had said something about her.  "I usually get up in the morning, do my daily martial arts practice, and then bathe to clean off before I head back up to my room.  And I will say, your baths are quite the sight early morning.  But this fellow I ran into the other day - patrician, I think - told me that the baths are best at night, because afterwards you can take a stroll and look up into the dark sky."<br/><br/>That was part one of his little speech.  Now to follow up.  "Naturally, I was intrigued by the possibility, but I found you ladies to be so attentive in the baths during the morning that I couldn't bring myself to deprive you of my presence."  It was true that Scarab tipped well for good service...which was probably more of what he meant by 'presence.'  "Until today, when I thought of something - I know it's probably rude of me to ask this, but I was hoping at least once to take an evening bath while I was here, so I may as well."  Pause, wait.  Then strike.<br/><br/>"I was hoping that someone could attend me - I know it's a special request, but I'll reward handsomely for it - when I went to the baths later tonight."  There.  The request put out for her first, but if she didn't want it, she could easily slip back and talk to the other girls in the kitchen about it.  Scarab was certain that she would say yes, though.<br/><br/>
