Spring 1, 511 AV
After having saved the girl's kitten, Dimitri felt he needed to reward himself. And it was his birthday no less. He decided he would finally get the courage to try something new. He would go to Soothing Waters for the first time. He walked toward it and stood outside of it, his courage fleeting. He mustered up, and went through the doors, and down the stairs to reception. A young man greeted him, "Hello there, what can I help you with?" Dimitri had been told by various Knights that the massages were wonderful, the baths warm and full of women, and they even do your laundry. "Um I would like a half bell massage... To use the pool... And um... To have my laundry and boots cleaned." The man looked him up and down, "1 copper for each clothing coming to 4 copper miza's, 15 silvers for the massage, 2 silvers for the pool, would you like a towel for the pool?" Dimitri nodded. "And another silver for the towel bring your total to 18 silver mizas and 4 copper mizas. The masseuse has a halfbell appointment open now, if you would like to put your items in your locker in the room to your right. An attendant shall take your clothes and have them ready in your locker when you are done. Massage parlor is behind the counter here, and the pool is through the locker rooms, thank you and enjoy your stay."
Dimitri paid the young man and wandered into the locker room, the attendant, a pretty young brunette woman, directed him to a locker. "I will take your clothes when you are ready sir." He had never been naked in front of a woman before and suddenly felt very sheepish. Under her watchful eyes he removed his shirt revealing his tightly muscled chest and abs. He removed his boots, and began undoing the laces on his breeches. His fingers fumbled nervously but he managed to get the job down and slid them off. He was standing in his undergarments, essentially gray cloth shorts. He turned away from her and could feel her eyes gazing him up and down. He removed his undergarments, now in his birthday suit on his birthday. He gathered up his clothes in a bundle, turned and handed them to her. Her eyes darted down and up his body, and she smiled like wolf seeing it's cornered prey, "Your towel is in your locker, would you like my assistance in the pool after your massage?" he fumbled with the words, "Um... Sure, that would... Uh... Be very nice."
She left him, and he quickly wrapped his towel around himself and made sure his shield and sword, his pack, and coin purse were in his locker. He then walked out into reception and back into the massage parlor, where Calyna Zia was waiting for him. She gestured to the massage bed and he laid down on it and she briskly removed his towel. She bent down to his ear and said, "Relax."
He did as instructed and her hands began to work wonders on his back and shoulders. He felt the tension melt away, and his spirits begin to rise. She then began to massage his legs and buttocks, which at first felt very uncomfortable then he grew to enjoy it. As his halfbell time was up she let him up, and he stood up completely relaxed, wrapped up his towel and began his way to the pool area. As he entered his eyes were open at the sight of many naked women and men of varying ages and body shapes. His attendant approached him, naked as the day she was born, "Are you ready Squire Dimitri? I will take good care of you." She removed his towel exposing him to the pool area, his nervousness skyrocketing.
