May as well just use the statue

You step onto the platform and approach the water pouring out of the statues amphora. Holding out a hand you feel the lukewarm water. The stream doesn't feel strong so you step under it with your head down letting the water cascade down your back.

The warm pressure is immediately relaxing but you can't really get clean with just water. You stay under the water to continue enjoying the feeling. But you need soap or something and this is the bath. You turn around to look at the bath proper hoping to spy the alcove that had the cleaning products.

You turn to see six pairs of eyes on you. The four women who had been in the pool had been joined by two of the one previous lounging on the alcove. The six women were at the closest edge of the pool with their holding themselves still against its wall.

They weren't even trying to be subtle about their looking. They hadn't turned to each other to pretend to have been talking and not staring at you, or even dart their eyes away to pretend to be fascinated by the bathes architecture. You recall the mosaic on the bottom of the pool and the comment that had brought your moment with Vatarie to an end.

It hadn't occurred to you at all until this moment. Did the flipped gender dynamic also include sexual ****?

Your aggressive averageness suddenly made you feel very exposed. This was the upper noble's bathes which meant everyone here had had access to much better education than you had. So not only would you be average the women here would be well above it.

You turned back around feeling very uncomfortable all the eyes on you and remembered your momentary thought about why you had been brought to this world. If you were correct you really hoped whatever had brought you here knew you were very sorry and it didn't want to really hammer the point home.

With the worrying phrasing of your comment you stepped out of the water and quickly walked to where your towel had been. You were a little surprised it was both still there and still dry.

You wrapped it around your waist. Thankfully your erection had shriveled under your thoughts and seemed content to not seek anymore attention.

You hear a splash and like a rabbit expecting to turn and see a wolf you reach out with your magic to feel the room. What you feel is paradoxically relaxing. Vatarie had made the noise when she had gotten out of the pool and your could feel her advancing on the six women who were still looking at you. Never would have thought her advancing presence would relax you.

Vatarie didn't say anything but your could feel the room heat up as she pulled more fire magic around herself. The six women seemed to get the message and moved away from the edge of the pool.

You felt Vatarie step towards you before redirecting and moving to an alcove. A part of you wanted to thank her but doing so was just going to pull attention back to you.

With towel around your waist you rush out of the bathes and to your changing room. The door opens and closes behind you very quickly. You take a few breathes to claim down and pull the towel from your waist and start to dry yourself. As you do so your arms feel weird. Putting the towel down you run fingers along your skin. It felt smooth, which meant the oils on it weren't there anymore. You smell your forearm and don't notice anything resembling soap. Rubbing a finger against your nose you find no oil. You have one more test and lean your head to smell your armpit. No scent of any sort.

The water must have done a much better job of cleaning you than you thought. That must be why you couldn't see any soap it wasn't needed. You regret leaving so quickly and not looking at the magic that must have been present. Best guess would be that the statue's amphora had and enchantment in a similar fashion as the stew cauldron at the way-station.

You really wish you were even a little capable of enchanting because the field was overflowing with potential. Letting a disappointed sigh you open the cupboard and pull out your fresh clothes that were pleasantly warm to the touch. Once dressed you grabbed your old clothes and, as far as you could tell, they were clean. Again you wish some aptitude for enchanting.

Closing the cupboard you hesitate before leaving. Should you just go without saying anything to Vatarie? She did kinda dismiss you so there shouldn't be an assumption that you would wait for her to finish her bath.

You grabbed the handled to the corridor that would take you out of the upper noble bathes. She'd dismissed you so she shouldn't expect you to wait. And if she does that is on her.

Walking towards the entrance hope it won't require an appropriate key stone to open or else you are going to have to wait for someone. You turn the handle and are glad it opens. Stepping into out of the corridor you hesitate. Vatarie shouldn't be that much longer you could just wait out her for her. After the moment two of you had was interrupted it did feel like there should be something else, some confirmation of relationship.
