"Well?" She asked, bouncing up and down gently."Well?" She asked, bouncing up and down gently. "We'll do it." "When?" "Well," I said, "We have to get our stuff stowed, and I'd like a little time to get into the dungeon mood beforehand if I may. We've got twelve hours, y'know." She nodded. "Make sure you call me!" I laughed. "We will, Perian. Give it time." "Okay. Bye! I've gotta find Menissa." We waved as she found the spiral staircase that now led down to the swimming pool. "This way, gentlemels," Neira said. She led us again, off the balcony and down a short hallway. The space opened up onto a large octangonal room with a firepit, surrounded with cushions. There were several passageways leading off. To my left was a large bathroom space, enough for fifty people. "There are the cubbyholes, if you wish to divest yourself of your clothing." Which I did, seeing as I couldn't think of a good reason to keep wearing them all. Aaden stripped down as well, and the two of us wandered out into the main hall. I walked down the nearer of the two staircases, and as we reached the bottom Aaden gripped my shoulder. "Ken," he whispered. I turned around. "Yeah?" "This is going to sound crazy, but do you think you could get Tana to whip me?" He nodded in the direction of the dungeon, in which I could clearly see Tana working someone over. |
