This a fairly nice public bath house.... The commonor's bath consists of a large stone tiled room with a huge tub at one end. There is a wooden wall that separates the men's and women's sides.... The wall goes ALMOST all the way to the ceiling, thus discouraging mishief, but not stopping it entirely. The planks in the wall fit snugly together so that there is no peeking. In addition to the public baths, there are a couple of private baths that were the original site of the bath house. Rather than relying on wood fires to keep the water warm as the public side does, these are natural hotsprings in garden settings. Each spring is separated by thick walls of live bamboo with small streams running through. There are gravel pathways running around the area, making it difficult to sneak up on anyone. Birds may be heard in the treetops. The front desk offers a selection of sake for those in the private baths... and maybe a bit more if you have the coin to spare... I mean shampoo girls and a backrub, you weirdos...

*Sasha enters the bath house from the street*

As Sasha walked into the bathhouse, other citizens were running out... and the look on the clerks faces were somethign to behold as they stammered a welcome to Amtheyst who was already standing by the counter. Sasha paid for two private baths and headed for his. He wasn't sure if Amethyst would use hers, but she could at least hang out in the garden and have a bit of personal time...

Sasha was enjoying his soak immensely and making a lot of sighs and moans to accompany his stretching... Every now and then he would spout a few lines from a sea song to keep himself, and anyone withing earshot, company.

Ame didnt' quite give a damn at the response of her presence... After all, she went through it alot...

Let Sash do what he wanted, wasn't gunna have anything to do with him now that he's entered the hotsprings...

For the most part, Ame just hung around the front of the place, waiting.. Only after a bit did she go to the main woman's public bathhouse and clean the blood out of a handful of her robes - without a care of how it effected hte woman staying in the area...

when she had most of hte blood stains removed and her hand bandage cleaned and rebandaged, the woman went back out to teh front - mildly wet - and stood there, waiting...

Sasha felt like staying a bit longer to soak, but he was well aware that Amethyst was waiting for him... and after what he had done to the woman, he felt like he owed her a bit of consideration. He got out of the hot spring and walked over to one of the small streams nearby wherupon he splashed a few handfulls of cold wanter on his face and chest. "Wooohhhh-Ahhhhh!" he yelled at the shock. After this he dried off and got dressed... with a last look at his short time sanctuary, Sasha walked back out into the lobby of the bath house.

Sure enough, there was Amathyst. The ladies who worked the lobby were nowhere to be seen. Though she had not taken a bath, she did look less blood encrusted, just slightly.... but she was damp... actually, she lloked somewhat liek a wet lynx... Sasha snickered at the thought.

Not that he cared a whole lot about her hygene... he just figured that if she was comfortable, it would be one less thing to set her to "kill" mode.

As usuall, he grinned before he spoke. "Shall we to breakfast, commrade?"

Ame glowered at Sash as he came out all clean and happy and stuff... The obvious difference between them was appauling.. To her, anyway. It looked like Ame just splashed some water on, after all... And her resemblance to a wet rat didn't make her feel all too proud...

However, Ame let it slide, she always did it this way after all... As long as she knew it was how she did things, it was alright ;)

With a feh, "Feh" the woman left the bathhouse to TheStreet.

Sasha began to whistle a song that had rather offensive lyrics... but he was whistling.. so it was alright..

*Sasha exits the Bathe House for the Street*

Sasha relaxed in the luxury of the bath house. He heard that someone was trying to build a new one somewhere.... he wondered why anyone would do such a thing when this place was so perfect as it was.

"Ohhh! Ahhh! Perfect!..... eeehhhh... " *sigh*

The girl giving Sasha a massage was really working him over, but that was exactly the way he liked it.

-------some time later---------

Feeling much relieved...

*Sasha exits the bath house.*
