[Kratos shoots a puzzled look over his shoulder.]

Yes. That's the point. What if you're ambushed while in camp? Better not to be flustered and can go straight for your sword.

[Everything in Tethe'alla is training. Everything. Since Yuan aired the intent to follow Kratos, and Kratos prefers his hair to be attended after the fact, he takes Yuan straight through the steam room. It's highly ornamented with patterned tiles and mosaics in the walls; there's no pools here, but there is steam. Lots of steam.

[The next room is less ornamented and has a dry heat, any steam filtered away through ducts, leaving warmth but little in the way of breeze. There's two pools; one is clearly hot, with steam rising off it, while the other has none -- cool water, for cleansing. Most patrons appear to be taking this room as an opportunity to soak or scrub (the scrubbing occurs outside of the pools, using water in basins around the edges of the room) or massage.]

Any genuine cleaning should be done here. Amenities provided.

[Kratos glances at Yuan side-long, showing some faint amusement.]

And more conversation.

[And drinks. It's actually rather full today, particularly around the hot-tub.]
