His smile grew just a tad as he felt that infectious joy well up once again within him, like a spring trying to burst its way to the surface. He kept it in check somewhere in his throat, but it wanted to break free, to come flowing out in a great waves.
"Alright, hot it is. To the calderium then." He turned, and led her off to the left of the foyer, down the crescent wing of the building that contained the hot baths. "You know it's funny, some beasts really make a strict ritual out of this bathing thing." he commented, wondering again WHY he was agreeing to do this with her. They weren't even friends.....were they?
"I find it helps whenever I have a malarial flare up." he explained. Yes...he figured he'd admit that he had chronic Malaria to her, but what was the harm in that? Malaria could not spread via any means from beast to beast, not even via "intimate" contact. The only possible way of spreading the disease was if you yourself were bitten by one of the infected mosquitos. Thus.....on the very remote and off chance that they DID grow....."close," she had nothing to fear about catching any form of the disease from him.
Usually it only flared up when he overexerted or taxed himself, and he hadn't had a recurrence in several years now if he remembered correctly. He had picked the disease up in the tropics, serving aboard a Galdean ship, and it had gotten so bad he'd had to return to Galdea, but after his return and plenty of rest, the ermine had recovered no problem.
Ladorak walking in to a room off the side, heading in to a changing room. There were lockers, and all sorts of oils laid out along a table on the far side of the room, mostly for rubbing your body down with or pouring in to the bath itself. He wasn't sure about going in at the same time she did, and being the gentlemale he was, he'd probably offer to politely wait while she went first. Pointing to a door that led to the hot bath, he began to remove his shirt, unbuttoning it and laying it on a bench. The upper half of his body was bare now, and he proceeded to head over to some of the oil bottles, looking them over and deciding if he wanted to try any out. "Would you like to go first?" he asked, not turning around in case she was (he tensed at the thought) undressing. He was sure she probably wasn't, but just in case.....
He noted there were no other clothes around, and hence they would be the only ones using this particular bath.

The female wanted to question him more about the fact that he had bouts of malaria but she felt that it wasn't necessary. She knew what the disease was and knew that she couldn't catch it but still a worried look passed over her features until he they were now in the dressing rooms. The female's eyes danced about, taking in all that there was to see since she would be working here every day from now on, until she decided otherwise or other opportunities arose.
Jayd chuckled when she noted that he was 'trying' to 'not' look at her. She wasn't at all tense though she did feel a slight heat move over her cheeks when she saw his bare chest but that didn't keep her from grabbing a towel and undressing. Smoothly she wrapped the towel around her upper body, it being long enough to fall to about mid-thigh height.
The female then passed him by, looking rather seductive in her dainty towel, and took some bubbles that was in a light purple bottle. She sniffed it, looked up at him and then groaned softly as her eyes close, relishing in the fresh scent of lilacs. Yep! This was the aroma that she was looking for. The female did an 'about face' and headed for the door. "Okay... I'll see you in there. You don't have to wait. I'm not shy." She threw him a wink and then disappeared into the gulping steam.
Once she was in the room she took a deep breath. This was simply lovely! Then she opened up her towel and slid into the tub, completely emerging herself so that she could get her entire body wet, including her headfur. "Ahhhh... This is the life. Mmmhmmmm.... Mmmmm.... This feel sooo good." He could likely hear the words that she was whispering to herself as she began to sponge her lithesome frame.

She walked past him, causing him to swallow nervously. No.....don't even think about it. She's just playing games. He had to find it within himself to resist her charms. Thankfully she didn't stay long, grabbing some lilac bottle and heading in to the calderium. She began to say some things to herself, possibly hoping to entice him to come on in, but that wouldn't be happening.
Taking some lotion, he began to rub himself down with it while she bathed, undressing the rest of the way and putting a towel around himself as well. He made sure he was fully lathered in the stuff, as it helped to relax his pores and would make them fully open while in the bath. He wasn't going in there though, as much as part of him wanted to, he wouldn't do it. He didn't know her well enough to gawk and stare at what must be a gorgeous form while she bathed.
Sitting back, he finished the last of the bottle off, figuring she'd probably be done before long. Sighing, he sat down on a bench and gave the greased down fur on his form a once over. Yeah...this would definitely help him relax after a somewhat interesting and at the same time tense day. Awkward....this was too awkward a situation for the ermine.

Jayd was use to such a lifestyle. She was far from improper but to her the body was a natural thing to look at, it was beautiful and was meant to be used for some sinful pleasure. Of course she's not totally innocent, she's the daughter of a pirate family after all. There had been many ports that she had flings at and at many of them she obtained a broken heart but she was merely searching for the 'right' one, one that was meant to be her soul mate.
In the bath area, where she was, she waited for Ladorak to come in but he never did. By this time Jayd became a bit more bold, the previous drink and the offering of complimentary wine while bathing was now sinking into her system. And so... Filled with bubbles from head to toe she got out of the still steaming tub and tiptoed to the door, just beyond was Ladorak. Jayd had no qualms about peeking out, and then stepping out, in order to invite Ladorak in.
Her eyes met with his and she smiled. With a wave of her paw she insisted that he joined her. They'd still be in separate tubs anyway. "Laddy... Come on. Aren't you coming in? It will give us a chance to talk." Perhaps he 'should' have just come in to begin with because now obviously he'd be getting more of a view then he bargained for as she waited and climbed back into the tub once he was in the room with her.

He nearly choked as he saw her before him. What the blasted heck was she doing!? She wanted him to come in to the bath chamber with her, but he wasn't so sure. "Uhhh....." was all he could say before she turned and headed back in to the baths. Oh come on! He was TRYING to think about Admiral Hood and why his former superior wasn't helping him get a job. Not thinking, or trying not to.....about that female's body.
Sighing again, the ermine stood up, towel still around him, and padded in to the bath chamber. He briefly glanced down at her but quickly looked away. No! None of this! Too dangerous to give oneself to another. Dropping his towel, he really didn't care if she looked at his backside as he climbed in to the adjacent tub.
He had to move slowly, the baths being very hot, but once he sank in he leaned back, closing his eyes. Good.....excellent....don't worry so much. Everything will be fine. His muscles relaxed, his tail drifted lazily about, and he felt fine. Good. Natural, as if there wasn't a female close by.

Jayd was amused by the male. Usually it was the female's that were so dumbstruck by such intimate things but this time it was Ladorak. He didn't even seem to notice that she called him Laddy instead of by his full name.
Jayd laughed...
She watched as he dropped his towel and climbed into the tub, craning her neck so that she could allow her eyes to rove up and down his frame. Jayd smiled. She liked what she saw.
As if to torture him some more she waited for him to sit before crawling back into her tub. From there she playfully reached into his tub (assuming that they are close enough) and splashed him with his own water as she giggled.

"Mph!" he opened his eyes, squinting out of the side of his vision at her. "This isn't a pool, it's a calderium." he said, but smiled in a tired way all the same. "You mentioned you wanted to talk. What did you want to talk about?" he asked, keeping his eyes straight ahead and off of her pool to the side.

Jayd giggled and sat back, splashing water over the edge as she did so. Well at least she got him to smile. At least that was a step in the right direction, or so she thought. If he kept up on being so blue he'd surely end up in a bad way.
The female stoat-tess went under water and then came back up with a mouth-full. She shot it at him and the laughed some more, deciding then to answer him. "Well we could talk about you. Why do you seem to sad all of the time? Did you say that you had family yet alive?" Jayd smiled at him ever so sweetly. She was trying her best to get him to talk.
Before he could answer she got up out of her tub and strode over to his so that she could hear him better. Of course she held two bottles of wine and as she climbed into his tub with him she handed him one while she took a sip out of her own. Before he could protest she drapped her lithesome legs over his and relaxed back into the water.

She got out of her tub, and walked in to his line of sight before getting in to his own. Come on! What was wrong with her?! She the proceeded to drape her legs underwater over his. OK enough is enough! He was going straight down to Stratospheros and talking to Admiral Hood! He would demand a job! He'd let her have his house for rent and ship out! No more of this!
She wanted to talk, but he started to move himself up, extremely embarrassed now that this had happened. This female was TOO straight forward. "Yes.....my father is still alive." he said in a strained voice, trying to shake her legs off. "Do you mind? This really isn't comfortable. We've only just met today." he stated, shooting her a somewhat bewildered look. She was beautiful yes.....very beautiful, and as much as he might want to explore this a bit further, she was going too fast.

Jayd laughed and the pulled her legs into herself, her knees popping above the water's surface and covering her chest, even though there were plenty of bubbles to do that for her. "Don't worry Laddy. I don't want to sleep with you or anything. It's just friendly conversation. Just pretend that I'm one of the guys." She chugged from her wine bottle and then sat it aside so that she could sponge over her shoulder, watching him from time to time.
She was now 'not' touching him at all. Jayd would hope that this would suffice, her moving so that they weren't touching. It's a rather big tub after all. "So your father is still alive. Do you have any brothers or sisters? All of my family are alive and well. My Father's name is Gunnar, my Mother's name is Gemma. I have an Older Brother named Trilliant, a Younger Sister named Diamond and a Baby Sister named Ruby." Jayd looked at Lad, hoping that he calmed down by now. "Oh and there's a bun in the oven. Yes... they are very close. They can't keep their paws off of each other it seems." She laughed and then shrugged her shoulders as she continued to bathe and talk. "But a good relationship between husband and wife is important, don't you think Laddy?"
Now it was his turn to talk....
