It certainly will be a tight fit, as to be expected - I do acknowledge we're lucky to have this luxury at all in an inn. But once I'm in, the water already soaking into my skin and feeling almost divine, I beckon for Lelika to join me.<br/><br/>"Okay, come sit on my lap, and I'll wash you. Let us be perfectly clean for one another."
