(Posted by Draconian)<br/><br/>The woman smiled and led the couple into the establishment. The main entrance was a warm, place lined with cozy furniture all over and a fancy, polished marble floor. Across the door was a counter for guests to check in. The smell of steam and sweet aromatic scents were noticeable even here. The woman led you to the counter, where the attendant gave you a couples discount for two hours in a private bath (Resources 2 expense, dirt cheap). With a knowing wink, the woman left Solar and Lunar to get back to her job outside, while a bell boy showed up and politely led the couple deeper into the establishment. Passing through marble halls, he showed them to their private room, mentioning in a whisper that while there would be a menu in their bath, it did not list the narcotics they could request at an added expense.<br/><br/>The two found themselves in a small room with a couple of wooden benches and a closet for placing their clothes, as well as a bathroom. There was a rack with towels and bathrobes for the pair. Across the entrance was a veil, from which steam emanated. Stepping across the veil, the two would find themselves in a large room lit with romantic scented candles, as well as from an open window to let the steam out. A large tub, a pool really, was on the floor a few paces away from the entrance. To one side of it were a number of products, salts, oils and other trinkets, as well as a menu detailing the varied services they could request by tugging on a cord that hung from the ceiling. The services were food, drinks (alcoholic and otherwise), more of the already provided amenities, change in water temperature, etc. All included in the cost they paid at the entrance except for the drugs the bellboy had mentioned.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>He paused at the extravagance of this and with the discount they had a kind of kings ransom in services. He had to wonder a touch if this wasn't some kind of underground slave racketeering in Nexus. Sure it's illegal but thats only really a slight technicality. Regardless Curious looked around at the place and removed his cloak. As expected Howl would find out that Curious' left arm was cut clean off at the shoulder. It was a very efficient cut as well as there was no real rough edges like it was done with something absurdly sharp or hot. Either way he continued to undress quietly. Since there was no real place to hide their bodies from each other whilst in this state of undress, they just had to deal with it. Some kind of orichalcum inset was just within the center of his chest along with a hearthstone and a plain looking and thin necklace of orichalcum was around his neck. He looked like he had once been malnourished but had made himself physically fit through effort and will but even so he looked weak in a physical sense. Of course his missing armor might have something to paint such an impression. He turned aside so she didn't have to disrobe with him watching whilst he turned away so that he could remove his lower garments without her getting an eyeful of what was down below.
