Who got busted in the baths in their knickers?

[18:35] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) shook his head.."Im not thirsty..You look like you could use a drink, though" Gan was surprised at her request to stand and shrugged..slowly, he pushed himself off the couch and faced her.."I have never been in the baths here..are they any good?"

[18:36] Payton (payton999.robonaught) caught the movement of a slave within and shrugged it off. Certainly while there was no one about, Payton hadn't cared in the least if she'd found drinks for one or both of them. Sitting surely was the last thing she wished to do. She'd shrug and shake her head, "I've not seen...well for some time..perhaps..." her lips curled into a smile then and she couldn't resist the urge to press a soft kiss to his cheek, hoping he might not catch the smell of bosk and general village upon her clothing. "I could use one..shall we go explore?"

[18:37] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) offered her his forearm with a nod.."I would like that..." He said and walked off towards the baths

[18:39] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) slowed down when they reached the stairs, and at their top, he came to a halt.."This here?" He asked, sniffing the air for the clouds of soap and perfume that escaped the doorway before him..

[18:39] Payton (payton999.robonaught) pressed her cheek into his shoulder as they walked, "You seem...well far from needing one..." she'd laugh lightly, already having removed her cloak from her shoulders. As they reached the top of the steps, there'd be a few nods and a point towards the building. "Yes..right in there..."

[18:40] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) chuckled.."I didnt say i wanted one..I just havent seen them and well... From time to time.. a full bath is much better then a sloppy one in the vosk" Gan smiled, and continued slowly..not walkign too fast as to have time to savour the smell..

[18:41] Bets (betony.baryl) shrieking with laughter, she pulls off her skirt and whirls the sodden garment over her head, twirling it around like a weapon. The wet skirt hits the marble walls with a resounding slap which just excites her to further gales of laughter.

[18:41] Payton (payton999.robonaught) shrugged lightly, "Well perhaps you might stand guard while I...." her lips had curled to a rather broad grin by then, brows only arching as she caught a bit of laughter spill from within. "Suppose we can kick the slaves out...perhaps enjoy ourselves my dearest companion?"

[18:43] Bets (betony.baryl) hearing the sound of voices outside she quickly lunges into the water, holding her breath. Her hands dig into Caden's ankles clawing at them.

[18:43] Caden Blackrain laughed at her "Oh.. the beast has been released from her confinement!" he said with his chest heaving at the site "Indeed you do bring much joy...." he heard the voices too and his eyes widened ... saw her slosh into the water and then stared at the door... Doom... Doom Doom he felt...

[18:43] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) leaned towards her and sniffed playfully.."While you..yes, thats a good idea" he said mockingly and laughed..the laughter from within was odd, Gan had never seen anyone walking towards the baths..much less knew anyone using them.."Maybe they are to my liking..then i might just join you" He said and pushed the door open with one hand, holding it until Payton had passed

[18:45] Bets (betony.baryl) comes up for air and in a hurried splash and hisses at him "Get rid of them!"

[18:45] Payton (payton999.robonaught) tucked her lower lip inward, flashing him only the sweetest glance she could afford. She'd turn to face him as she shuffled sideways into the area, really not wanting to have to admit that she'd sat far too long in soaking wet grass, perhaps a side of her he'd surely never know if she could help it. "I think..." she whispered, crossing foot over foot, her eyes focused solely on her companion, "Well..I'm sure I might be able to entice you...we'll see", she'd laugh and turn to face him, waiting for his own entry.

[18:47] Bets (betony.baryl) groans as she hears the voices of Gan and Pay echoing throughout the marbled bathroom. Her groans cause bubbles to rise to the surface. Panic stricken, she continues to hold her breath; her face turning a blue that would make the waters of the pool envious. Suddenly . . she is very sober.

[18:47] Caden Blackrain looked at the door seeing the two of them walk in he stayed starled for a moment and felt the digging in his ankle and licked his lips with a wince "Ahh.. Sir.. Uhh.. Lady!" he changed his tone "I shall be done in a minute... If you would consider my privacy." he looked down into the water seeing the glow of betony's body below him and simply looked up and swallowed

[18:48] Bets (betony.baryl) unable to hold her breath any longer, she shoots up to the surface like a geyser; sputtering watering. Looking like a drenched rat she looks up to the couple; her misery apparent.

[18:49] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) followed her with only a few steps..barely enough so the door could fall shut behind him.."I have no doubt you can.." He said and suddenly spied Caden.."erm...Tal Caden.." Gan said with a grin, curious as to what slave the man had kidnapped from the kennels this night..But when he suddenly saw Bets, the honourable physician, shoot up from below, he crooked his head aside.."Erm..I never knew..you two.." Gan looked to Payton and motioned to them..

[18:50] Payton (payton999.robonaught) pursed her lips for a moment as she heard the voice of a man behind. In that instance, without thought, Payton found herself turning around, "This is the womens..." she began to spatter towards, her lips falling slightly apart and a hand reaching her eyes just as she heard the splash of water indicating another. She of course couln't resist a tiny peek to see who the other form might have been before a rather loud, "Oh" would find it's way out and Payton would turn around once more, burying her head in his shoulder.

[18:51] Bets (betony.baryl) water streaming off her face, her eyes are blurred and still unable to focus. But she is pretty certain she knows the owner's of the voices. She starts to rub her eyes; then thinking better of it . . quickly crosses her arms over her breasts that so easily peer out through the soaked linen cloth that clings to her body. "Tal" she says in a small voice.

[18:52] Caden Blackrain watched in slow motion as she shot up from the water. Indeed he had to work on her ability to hold her breath. That would certainly come in handy in future endeavors. But Alas, there was the immediate situation that would require explanation and resolution "You see.. The womens bath was out of order..." he tried and then simply shook his head "Sir... I ... I have been seeing this lady.. We have feelings for this lady... and.. I didn't want to disgrace her with my caste.. I was foolish" he said in a defeated tone.

[18:54] Bets (betony.baryl) nods and for once . . is silent.

[18:54] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) was rather unsure in what sort of situation he and payton had gotten into, but judging by the reaction of her..her head aganst his shoulder..and the obvious emberassment of the woman in the pool..did give away that it certainly was a common one.."Erm..well..I think she might have preffered that disgrace over..this one here" Gan said to him and glanced to Bets.."This..is not how.." He trailed off..his own recent memories taught him that sometimes..one did not have much choice as to whom.."I..well..Payton..would there be a way to...?" He asked her, glancing back and forth between them..

[18:56] Bets (betony.baryl) sighs and watches as half of Treve marches in to witness their folly. She laughs and throws up her arms

[18:57] Payton (payton999.robonaught): What began with a soft chuckle had rather quickly found itself into a full bodied laughter. Paytons arms were wrapped tightly around her companions broad shoulders, her head still tucked into his chest while she shook away, unable to control herself. "The ...oh my..." she somehow managed to sputter out, although there were surely tears welling up in her eyes by then. She was completely lost in her own amusement that she'd not noticed anything else going on around them. It took a few deep breaths for Payton to calm down and turn around. She'd lean into Gan's chest, her hand finding it's way over her eyes but the broad grin had surely given her thoughts away to the duo. "A way to what my love?"

[18:59] Caden Blackrain nods to them "Coming out hide you eyes" he said without thought and made his way to the towels shaking his head "Simply keep it between us perhaps?" he said his eyes simply sunk into his head as he grabbed a towel and moved to the edge of the baths to hold it out for Betony to take

[18:59] Bets (betony.baryl) arms still crossed and back in possession of her senses, she glares at Pay. The steam from her anger heating her to a boil; you can almost see steam rising off her flesh. "I am happy you are amused. Just you wait for the next shot and we'll see how amusing this is!" She harumph and signals wildly at Caden to throw her a robe.
[18:59] Bets (betony.baryl): "A robe! A robe!"
[19:00] Bets (betony.baryl) squats down into the water like a peasant in the fields.

[19:00] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) just grinned.."Well..from our recent past..I would say a bit of understtanding for them is..feasonable. Regardless of the humour of the situation.." Gan chuckled a bit, a mere gesture to force the soft laughter within.."I mean..is there a way to..Allow them to...be? Without public disgrace?" Gan had no intentions of closing his eyes, rather took a rude sneak on what Caden had to offer..After comparison to himself, he tilted his head to Bets.."cant blame her.." He said and finally laughed softly

[19:01] Payton (payton999.robonaught) still couldn't seem to keep her laughter at bay in the least, but mostly because as she leaned back against her companion, she realized that she likely soaked him with the rear end of her already filthy gown. "Um..." she flipped her gaze to the side and kissed the base of his neck quickly. "So...oh...you mean..." she smiled and nodded, her nose crinkling up snugly, "I suppose the Ubar might order you both companioned...some of us might have access to his seal rather freely...do you have a guardian within the city Lady?"

[19:02] Bets (betony.baryl) makes a rude sound with her lips; her eyes shooting daggers at Gan. "What nonsense! He's low caste!" she points an accusing finger at him. "I mean . . I mean . . " Sits down lower into the water. "I don't know what I mean and NO! I don't have a guardian." She smacks at the water; causing a grand splash to spill over the sides.

[19:03] Caden Blackrain threw her the towel.. "Alright! Alright!" he gumbled walking along the marble with his dangly flopping going to the counter not even looking to the two in the men's baths then cought Gan looking at his dick and winced and swallowed... he shook his head, then simply nodded at the words from payton and stood in shock a moment then heard bets protests and then.. a brow raised "You would do that lady payton" he said holding out the robe to bets.. It was huge.. being of the warriors.

[19:05] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) smirked.."Lady..there really is much at stake in your situation.. a Head Physician that dishonours her name and status in such a way..is unacceptable" Gan said teasingly.."Unless of course..You do indeed companion him..and accept maybe a tiny stain in your reputation. Or you change your caste..I hear the Kennels are looking for a Mistress Gan laughed and offered her a smile..

[19:06] Bets (betony.baryl) sunk so low now into the water that when she sighs the water burbles angrily. She rises up haughtily to her full height and struts towards Caden, snatching the robe out of his hand with a snap. "I don't need a scolding! Change caste!" she looks over to Caden stricken. "What will I do!"

[19:06] Payton (payton999.robonaught) tugged a bit of the inside of her mouth between her teeth and peeled her hand away long enough to glance to Gan before she continued. "I fell in love...before he was even a Lieutenant...when the Ubar.." she'd leave it at that, there surely wasn't much more to say, if Betony knew even a little about Payton. She'd press one more kiss to the edge of his jawline before she'd return her -covered- attention to the duo ahead. "I could tell Victor about this, and surely he'd order such a thing to spare your reputation...or perhaps you two might just share a cup and I'll um...hmm there must be wine here somewhere...."

[19:08] Caden Blackrain gritted his teeth looking at bets hearing the consideration of her lowering her caste, he simply said "Keep your reputation lady betony.. I will not brag of speak of this.. unless I find more honor to be worthy of you" he looked at her and there was something odd, as he faced her.. he simply winked... A single wink as a signal. They would survive... They had a fortune already together.. Reputation in the green caste wasn't everything...

[19:09] Bets (betony.baryl) looks over to the bottles of ka-la-na; the very thing that led to this folly. She sighs and lowers her face and then spots Caden's manhood still brazenly display for all to see. For just an ihn, she loses it and laughs lustily reaching out to him, then stops when she is restored to sanity. She imperiously holds out her hand; then like verr butter in the sun melts when her eyes go to Caden's face. "Yes, the wine. I'll drink of it."

[19:12] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) nodded appreciatingly.."Alright..if you both agree...then I will find some wine..and Payton will take care of the rest..Acceptable?"

[19:12] Caden Blackrain took her her by the hand and helped her from the tub and then went to the shelves "What I do like about the attendants here is they launder the clothes without a word.. and he pulled his leathers on.. forgetting to dry his legs.. it wasn't a pretty site as he pulled them half way only to be caught at his knees "Aiii.. Agree'd!"

[19:12] Bets (betony.baryl) nods and walks down the steps in a regal manner; holding out her hand to Caden to steady her step down the slippery tiling.

[19:13] Payton (payton999.robonaught) dipped her chin low and just kind of stood there. "Really just pour and drink and make sure you both know what it means...that's really all..." she trailed off and winced, finally managing to turn around and look up to Gan with a wide gaze.

[19:16] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) nodded.."Then I will see some wine organized.." He said and turned away, still chuckling rather softly to himself...

[19:16] Caden Blackrain pointed at the table "We already have some kalana here.. and a single goblet on the table.." he pointed then looked at betony and reached out for her hand while he poured it into the goblet. His mood changed .. he felt somewhat more at ease with his leathers finally up "Lady betony, I will ask your forgivness for what has happened today.. It was ruthless and foolish for me to give you such freedoms.. It was dishonorable.. Sharing this wine with me this day... I will promise you I will not dishonor you again my simple foolishness like this... Perhaps with you I will become more.. and with that strength.. I'll push you up further than you have ever been" he held out the goblet to her

[19:18] Payton (payton999.robonaught) dropped her hands to the side, standing for a few minutes in the room without any motion as she saw Gan make motion to the door. Payton blinked and wasn't really certain in that moment if she should stay, back turned , or follow along. But as Caden began to speak, she'd just lift her fingers up slightly at first, lingering along his chest before they'd curl over his shoulders and she'd rest her cheek against his neck. She had no need to see, suppose no need to hear really, but there they were.

[19:19] Bets (betony.baryl) rolls her eyes at Caden's nonchalant remark about the laundry, feeling very unbalanced and then here comes this remark as if they are just exchanging pleasant conversation in the square! She wraps the robe around her tighter and muses on her situation. Though a high born snob, she knows there are definite advantages to this. Now she won't have to suffer an arranged companionship to some ugly old physician. She will be able to openly enjoy Caden's companion, his wits, and his accumulating wealth. And along with that comes the promise of adventure. She wraps her hands around the stem of the goblet, offering him an uncharacteristically shy smile . . "I offer all that is me. To be faithful and to honor you in all things." She lowers her lashes and lifts the goblet to her mouth.

[19:22] Caden Blackrain heard the words from her mouth and smiled at her as she took the drink from the goblet. He looked over at Payton.. there had been some kind of change in her that seemed out of the ordinary.. could it be she actually loved the man. It seemed apparent and public, he contemplated his moment further.. and waited for the goblet to return to him. He soaked in her green pools and the endorphins and adreniline and their effect on her.

[19:22] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) listened to the two of them, but only looked at Payton..their wine had been much less stiff...and with much less words..but the result seemed to be the same.."Congratulations you two" Gan said and tore his eyes off payton and towards the newly companioned couple

[19:23] Payton (payton999.robonaught) closed her eyes for a moment of brief recollection. How simple and easy some things found themselves working out to be, seemingly when life appeared most complicated, surely fro Betony as well as herself. Her lips curled into a sweet smile and while not turning to look at the couple for fear there'd be some flash of skin she probably shouldn't note, she edged herself a bit closer to her companion, her arms by then had wrapped around the back of his neck, tugging her body into his own. "Lovely" she mused in a whisper. Pomp and ceremony certainly wasn't her thing when not required, something as easy as this surely had to be just plain right.

[19:25] Bets (betony.baryl)'s eyes again lose focus for her surroundings; but for Caden. Before trembling with horror, rage at her situation and what she might have done to her standing . . it is all washed away in a torrent of emotions she feels for him. Though, he is not of high caste, he has been quickly become her whole world. Be damned with the castes she thinks. "Here stands before me everything I need!" She quickly swallows her portion of wine, the red ka-la-na glistening on her lips that curl up into a look of quiet adoration. "It is done. I am now yours!" She flashes a look of victory to Gan and Pay; almost as though this were her idea and she outfoxed them!

[19:26] Caden Blackrain pointed to the goblet "Can I have some of that?" he said "I didn't drink yet" he murmured

[19:26] Bets (betony.baryl): Oh!" laughs and pushes it into his hands. "Quick drink!"

[19:27] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland) inclined his head towards the two of them and smiled.."Treat her well..Honesty is important" he said and chuckled before he excused himself.."It is late, i will find my quarters..enjoy the newly won..justification" he said and turned around to leave..

[19:28] Caden Blackrain held out the goblet and took a drink smirking then swallowing then giving her a wink then looked to Gan "She knows everything Sir... And will continue to know everything..."

[19:28] Payton (payton999.robonaught) lifed what had likely been a bright red cheek from Gan's neck, only a spill of laughter met with Cadens remark. "Are they decent?" she'd whisper quiety, although likely to have echoed in the marble room. Only a quick blink added and Payton would stammer out a "Congratulations you two" before she'd find her footing matching that of her companions, her hand already reaching for his arm.

[19:28] Bets (betony.baryl) smiles a foolish grin at Gan. "I thank you Sir. For you . .erm . . discretion. And . .yes! Thank you Pay"

[19:28] Caden Blackrain: Honor your houses... I will build honor in my new one" he said

[19:28] Gan of Treve (ganesh.westland): Be well'! *grins*

[19:29] Bets (betony.baryl): "I wish you well!"
