A while after Gered stomped off to his room, there was a soft knock on his door.  It was Sanae, one of the catgirls that worked in the bathhouse.  She was wearing her normal clothes, a long-sleeved white shirt and a long red skirt, with a sword attached to her belt.  "Gered?" she called out, knocking again.  "Do you think I could come in for a bit?"
