She kept an easy eye on Tia. As easy on the eyes as she was, Cerys sensed multiple layers to peel back before revealing an almost mysterious interior and Cerys was always wary of the mysterious to some degree. A guy waving a sword around, she could easily dispatch, but someone hiding secrets usually was more complex. Regardless, she sensed no malice, yet.<br/><br/>Cerys En Craite guided them over to another district. This neighbourhood seemed to play home to the more affluently-dressed, with men and women alike clad in clothes of soft silks and fabrics with golden jewellry hanging off their forms. Whilst more decadent, they seemed no less scantily-clad than people in the previous districts. The houses and streets seemed better maintained as well, with most a gleaming white. The chatter was more refined and even the occasional moans coming from bushes or in hidden alleys seemed more controlled. Even a faint scent of expensive perfumes lingered in the air, lavender.<br/><br/>At the corner of the main streets intersecting the district, the first thing that came into view was a large statue of a woman, carved entirely out of marble with painstakingly exquisite detail. This woman seemed to be clad in sheer, thin silks, with tousled hair and a look of sheer ecstasy on her face, all rendered perfectly in pale, white marble. To a trained eye like Tia's, the fifty feet tall woman seemed to bear a passing resemblance to Shoni, but also not.<br/><br/>As they approached, and things came clearer into view, they'd see the woman standing over a quaint mansion, poised over it with her legs, and labia, spread, welcoming visitors within. "Beautiful place, no?" Cerys said with a grin. As they entered, their heels would clack noisily on marble floor as the foyer opened up in front of them. The centerpiece was a fountain of black marble with a golden statue of the same woman in the same pose, but with the water of the fountain squirting from her spread netherlips. A soft music, the plucking of the strings of a harp, seemed to come from nowhere but echo everywhere.<br/><br/>At the far end of the room was a counter with a lady (https://i.imgur.com/GciUr8v.jpg), dressed in what could be best described as a toga, behind it. She had a pleasant demeanor on her face as she beamed and welcomed the pair of them. "Welcome, my ladies, to the Marble Lady." She said before looking at Tia's offerings. "Ah! A Priestess of Shoni! We are most blessed to have you amongst us and I am sure She will be pleased to receive your gifts." She said, taking however much was offered and placing it into a bowl not unlike one used in churches for alms.<br/><br/>"You'd be pleased to find we should have everything you might need." She said, making some gestures down hallways. "Down this hallway is our recreation hall. You'd find rooms for dining, games, music and the like. On the other side is the corridor for our guests like yourself. Behind me..." She gestured at a wispy, almost ethereal curtain, through which movements and shadows could be seen and sounds of splashing, laughing and moanings could be heard, "You'll find our renowned hot springs where our guests have fun, with more private booths cabanas available for use." She said in a very well-rehearsed manner. "This way please." She says before guiding them down the hallway of bedrooms. Walking behind her, the long blonde hair that came down to her waist smelled faintly of rosewater.<br/><br/>"I am most certainly okay with sharing a single room and helping with any prayers if need be." Cerys replied with a grin as they followed along,  until the lady arrived at a door. She opened it with a key before handing it to them. "The key for your room, my ladies. If you have any need of me, you need only ring the bell by your bedside, or look for me, Lia, at the front desk." She beams again before giving a deep bow that allowed a good view down the front of her toga, one which Cerys certainly took, before departing.<br/><br/>The room housed a large queen-sized bed with wispy curtains that hung from the corner posts. It was covered with a floral-scented bedsheet that had lovely stitchings of roses and birds on it. There was a nice dresser, closet and other necessities, along with a bathroom which house other necessities and toiletries along with a tub that could easily sit four. Cerys, despite having been here, seemed impressed. "Lovely, isn't it?" She said as she began to set down her heavy greatmace.<br/><br/>"Shall we head for the springs, if you'd like a nice soak?"
