simulsimul: (in my heart there is a trace)

[Yuan doesn't get looks. He isn't, actually, the only half-elf. There are ears and strangely-coloured hair readily visible among the bath patrons, though to a one they're wearing the common colours. Still -- any number of them converse with ease with humans as well as among each other. It's clear, from the state of clothes and the roughness of hands and the deep tans, that many of those attending are as common as it's possible to get, both human and half-elf; and though those in common clothes give way to those with cloaks like Kratos's, there's no actual segregation, aside from trappings of wealth and instinctive social navigation.]

Does 'all of it' count?

[It's a half-serious question, as Kratos takes Yuan toward the changing room, oblivious to the fact that his crimson-lined cloak has some others giving way.]

Hm. Food and drinks are provided in the heated room. Don't wash your hands in the bathing water, if you snack; don't drain drinks into them, either, though you may drain drinking water into the grates around the room. Don't take food into the steam room; pitchers of water are provided there, however. If you wish to handle your own hair in the steam room, that's fine, but let the attendants bring the oils to you, instead of attempting to pick up your own; and don't return what you've already used.

[Measuring is something the staff do. Kratos motions into the changing room leading into the baths, where there's now visible any number of people undressing, both men and women. Most seem inclined to undress, store their things and enter the other rooms directly; some wrap their waists with towels, or simply sling them over shoulders.]

You may take a towel with you, if you wish.

[Not everyone does; Kratos doesn't usually bother. On this occasion, for Yuan's sake, he will.]
