Knocking on the door was a foreign thing; V'neef's Palace-Manse was quite active this very afternoon.  They were greeted by servants clad in respectable-enough outfits, the lovely ladies with bared breasts but everything else more covering over their entire bodies.  They bowed respectfully and motioned for them to enter, exceptionally crafted flame-pieces tucked into their obis discreetly, but not TOO discreetly.  The inside was like any wood manse, though perhaps less blatantly sexual than most, lots of plants, lots of greens, lots of natural beauty and a lovely scent of flowers and plants of all sorts.  It was getting busier ahead down the front foyer to the main lounge and grandiose banquet hall.  However, as they entered another topless servant - a Western girl by her dark skin and larger, more muscular form - stopped them.<br/><br/>"Tepet Imara, correct?" she asked, though it really was rhetorical, out of respect purely "Please follow me, your servant may come too."<br/><br/>They were taken down a side passage, away from the growing party and dinner.  Taken down towards the more private wings, down where rooms and bedrooms of a more personal nature exist.  Down past various private rooms, training areas, and workshops... directed to an expansive outdoor bath enclosed away from prying eyes, stopped at the door to the changing area by the Western servant.<br/><br/>"Miss Tepet, you may enter.  Alone, by Lady V'neef's own instructions." the woman explained, matter-of-factly "Your servant can come with me to where the other servants are waiting.  She may bring the gifts with her.  Lady V'neef asks that you undress and come join her in the bath, Miss Tepet, please."<br/><br/>Tomoe looks over and up to Imara, silently asking if this was alright before she did as she was instructed...
