[There's a way up from inside the villa. The front, however, appears to have no gardens or means to distinguish, aside from the framing of the door; but the building fronting to the street is length-ways, spanning the width of the two rectangles behind.
[Kratos takes them up to the door and lets them in without knocking, pausing to take off his boots and pull on some indoor sandals; his cloak he takes off and hangs up, leaving him only in tunic and trousers. The entrance is a short hall into an atrium, which is inhabited by a deep pool of still water, lit by the purifiers. There's a gap in the ceiling over it, where the roof slopes in to collect rainwater or be refilled by the channel leading to the aquaduct.]

[This is one of the staff, coming to investigate the sound of the opening door; Kratos shakes his head at her.]

No, I'm going that way; thank you.
