A much needed bath

----- Dalen Capital, Gularzob's shop, 0 DSTR -----

"Oh, but my dear Lord, pink is the current it color. If you wish to pose as a noble without pink accents, you might as well walk out of that door and go back from whence you came."

Lars' far too cheerful comment made Artem freeze for a split second, thinking nobles were even more crazy than he'd thought and that he under no circumstances would agree to this.

"Don't you worry yourself with this. Go get bathed and be prepared to speak with Isai. I will have your garment prepared in the meantime."

He let out a small sigh of relief "Thanks, though for a moment I almost believed you...". The joke almost wasn't funny, but considering that he himself had made the foundation of it he couldn't blame Lars for it.

Then he put on his old clothes and went straight into the bathing room. He looked around the room before feeling the water. It was still nice and warm, with a few soapbubbles still floating around. He didn't mind at all that Winifred had used it before him, though he would still rather had shared it with her.

The warmth of the water as he lowered his body into the tub felt amazing. This certainly was a hundred times better than bathing in a freezingly cold lake or creek. If only he could stay here for the rest of the day, preferably with Winifred as well, then this day would be absolutely perfect. But of course Gularzob would never allow that and to be honest, then Artem didn't want to risk his life by asking the orc permission to do so.

Having scrubbed and cleaned himself thourghly, Artem a little reluctantly left the water and dried himself off with a towel. He then put his old clothes back on despite how dirty it was, since he didn't have anything else and honestly wasn't bothered by it that much.

Then he went back to the others and walked straight towards Winifred and Isai. "Hello again. I hope you didn't miss me too much." He said jokingly as he smiled at both of them. He then took a glance across the papers in front of Isai, pretending to understand the words upon them "How's work going?".

(OOC - I'm sorry it took me so long to answer this! It's just been a really tough week... I'll be more productive this weekend and I haven't forgotten about the parts of improving Thalia, Asgurt, creating the map or anything! I'll explain it all later)
