The little adventurer in her dappled-brown cloak easily shouldered a heavy pack to lighten Jacinda's load, and hummed a soft melody to herself as she followed her friend into the unfamiliar building. The floors and walls around her were polished stone, many of them set with smaller pieces of stone in different colours to make beautiful pictures. Humid air swirled around them in scented heaviness. Jacinda swayed a bit as they made their way to the luxurious baths, and while the attendant started turning her nose up at the adventurers, her tune changed when Jacinda slapped a pair of gold pieces down. "The works, for both of us!" "Oh, friend Jacinda, do you mean we will work in the baths?" Wren blink-blinked, concern evident in her round brown eyes. "It is warm here, but I think I would rather hunt than scrub smelly tubs..."

Jacinda laughed and wrapped an arm around Wren's shoulders, which were quite muscled under that fluffy cloak. "Oh, my friend, no, it means that we will have some lovely people-" Jacinda grinned at one of the approaching attendants and started handing off their packs. "-scrub our smelly selves until they are no longer smelly, and instead smell more like flowers and unguents. I'm not even sure what an 'unguent' is, but last time I was here they used them and my skin felt wonderful..." She led the way confidently, almost forgetting her hurt leg in her eagerness to get into some steaming water, and began disrobing in the antechamber. "Have you ever been in one of these? I can talk you through it all, if you like."

People scrub us? The feathers that grew out under Wren's lower hairline bristled out at the idea. She had been thrown from frightened towns for her unusual appearance, her otherness. She followed closely behind Jacinda, almost in the other woman's shadow, as they trailed down into the baths. In the antechamber the little woman shrugged off her packs and cloak slowly, following her friend's enthusiastic lead. "Have you ever been in one of these? I can talk you through it all, if you like." Wren looked at her companion, wide-eyed uncertainty obvious. "Jacinda friend... Wren has been to the baths in southern lands. They are outdoors often but I think the same. The bath is nice..." she shrunk in on herself a bit, "But sometimes people don't like the Wren. I am different and strange to them... Without my cloak, they see how different... Maybe no-one will want to scrub the Wren." Leaning her head to one side she gathered her long, light brown hair over one shoulder, leaving a soft fringe of irregularly-striped feathers--not unlike a pheasant's--clearly visible. She looked over her shoulder to friend Jacinda. Blink-blink. She watched to see what her friend would say, unsure if she already knew.

Jacinda looked over, already planning out a reassuring ramble about how they got all sorts in these places, that was the nice thing about money, when she saw the feathers. She paused for a moment, blinking, almost the same way her friend had. "Huh. And here I thought it was because you sounded like one...I can see why that could be an issue, yep. I'll take care of it, one minute..." Jacinda strode out, partially dressed and re-fastening her main belt, which had quite a few things but the coinpurse and long knives were uppermost in her mind at the moment. Wren could hear some murmured conversations, Jacinda's voice occasionally rising to a sharper annoyance, and then a clink of coin, before she came back to the antechamber. "And done. Found a few older hands who cared more about coin than feathers, and bought them off to come start the baths in our place once we finished up here. And what is a "foe-der-atty" anyway? Seems like everything this far south has some name I've never heard of..." Jacinda shook her head and started undressing again.
