"I'm going to take you to the 'Goddess Of Taste'", she says
without looking at you. "It's not too far away...but I believe
you might like to... you know, get cleaned up a bit first."
And she flicks her head back to give you an enquiring glance. You open
your mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.
She walks back to where you stand open-mouthed, and takes your hand.
"Come... I'll take you to the old Bath-House. It's where most of
the towns people go to bathe. Only the rich can afford to construct
their own private bath, so everyone comes here. I'll have a bath too,
since I'll have nothing to do while I'm waiting for you."
You look extremely nervous. "How do people bathe?"
Seeing her look of confusion, you try again, "How does the system
work? It...it isn't like the R-Roman times...is it? You...don't all
bathe in...the s-same pool, do you?"
"Of course not", she laughes. "There's a separate one
for male and female!"

She stands up, brushing her beautiful hair over her shoulder, and
then, quickly ties it into a long plait. She gestures at the flap of
the tent, and you roll it up and step outside. She follows you.
