Saying Goodbye and Leaving the Royal

"... and here are your cleaned clothes, Mr Stark compliments of the establishments laundry service."

Walt smiled at the dark-skinned beauty behind him in the mirror. "Thank you, Anthy. And Carrie's?"

Anthy smiled too as she hung a garment bag containg his cleaned clothes on a hanger nearby as if they were made of the finest materials... which they certainly weren't as they were his normal street/work clothes minus the stealth suit of course. That was proprietary 3S technology after all and his own personal gear and he'd see to that himself at home. "We've attended to their cleaning and brought Ms Kelley's clothes as well. Seeing as she's still sleeping off the effects of last night's festivities I offered to help clothe and bathe her." She put her cheek cutely in the palm of her hand and sighed slightly. "Unfortunately Utena said she would see to Ms Kelley's preparations for departure herself."

Walt fought not to grin at Anthys obvious disappointment and thought Carrie was probably much "safer" in Utena's capable hands. "Just as well. I'm sure she's exhausted from all the... "activity" of the evening. I'd prefer she rest as much as possible before I bring her home."

Anthy nodded. "Very well, Sir." She smiled that deceptively innocent seeming smile of hers though. "May I assist you in your bathing, Sir?"

Walt had already anticipated that trouble however. "I'm afraid I've already washed-up so no, thank you." Which was true as he'd just finished cleaning himself up and stepped out of the bathroom.

"How unfortunate but understandable," Anthy said but her mysterious expression hadn't wavered. Infact Walt saw her approach him even nearer from behind in the mirror. She looked at him in the robe he was wearing and said, "Then allow me to help you dress yourself, Sir."

Walt swallowed. As steamy as things had gotten last night, and they had gotten quite carried away as evidenced by the fact that Carrie was still blissfully out of it, though the four of them had had a good and very sexy time together they had done it as two couples. Sure it had been exciting to watch and even have an appreciative audience for each other. Utena and Anthy (at Anthys urging) had actually preformed an unasked for but rather sexy dance routine in between bouts of their own love making as Walt pleasured Carrie over and over that they'd both enjoyed... but no lines had been crossed. That had been on purpose for his part and he'd specifically made sure to avoid physical contact with either of the two ladies beyond the massage. But assisting with dressing was apart of an attendants duties and they'd seen plenty of each other naked already... and Anthy had been the one to give him said massage so they'd already touched intimately previously... so... "Alright... and thank you."

"You're very welcome, Sir!" She said with a smile. Walt wasn't sure what he was expecting but was surprised as she reached up to touch his neck and slowly run her fingernails across his skin and then through his still damp hair before asking, "Would you please sit down for me, Sir?"

He nodded and sat on a nearby bench as Anthy fetched a towel and began slowly drying, then meticulously combing his hair. "How is that?" She asked.

"That's good," he said as she ran her nails over his ear after tucking a lock behind it. He chuckled, "I need a trim."

She continued tickling his ear slightly. "I could cut your hair for you if you like."

"Not this time, thanks." He wasn't too particular about his hair though he was extra careful about it's disposal. Leaving DNA evidence laying around was bad enough. It was an even worse idea if one dabbled in the metaphysical. "Though I'll keep it in mind for the future, thanks."

"You're very welcome, Sir." She said again before setting the towel aside and prompting him to rise with which he complied. Then she slowly untied his robe and slipped from his shoulders and- "Oh dear!" Anthy said smiling as she looked at his crotch.

Walt swallowed. "Sorry about that," he said as his dick stood proudly at attention.

"Oh no, sir! Don't apologize," she said openly looking at it in an admiring way. "It's most impressive to see it like this after all the action it received last night and...," She smiled up at him now making eye contact. "... I'm very flattered to have it's attention! Do you... require assistance with it? I could help ease your tension..." she said placing her hand upon his chest and stepping closer so the tip of his penis just brushed up against her as her other hand reached down to-

Walt swallowed and smiled before intercepting her hand with his. "No."

"No?" She asked maintaining eye contact. "Are you quite certain about that, Sir?"

He lifted her hand and kissed the back of it. "Quite... though the offer is tempting and appreciated." He saw Anthy smile warmly and he chuckled guessing. "Did I pass?"

She patted her hand on his chest. "You did. You really do love her very much. Apologies for being... too forward."

Walt chuckled softly again. "Nothing to apologize for. I'm very flattered by your interest as well."

She blushed at the gentle way he held her hand and slowly stepped back. "Permission to continue dressing you?"

"Granted," he said releasing her hand. She retrieved his underwear and knelt to help him into it. Then gently touched his throbing cock to slowly tuck it in. "A pity we can't see to your need. I have the feeling I- We, Utena and I, would have greatly enjoyed it... Even more so now that I am certain of the sort of man you are," she said giving his bulge a slight pat before retrieving his socks next and continuing dressing him.

Walt shrugged. "Doesn't mean that something can't happen in the future. Especially now that I'm certain that you are inclined that way."

She paused briefly and smiled. "I see. You weren't holding back simply because of her but out of concern... for me?"

Walt nodded. "To put it simply... Yes. I know how your story goes. Honestly, the way you were treated, I wouldn't be surprised if it put you off of men in general. I'm certain Prime has given plenty of opportunities for seeing the negative side of things even further. I certainly wasn't going to potentially add to that in anyway without knowing otherwise. That's why you "poison" and test people isn't it?"

Anthy smiled as she pulled up his pants and nodded. "It is one of the reasons," she said blushing still as she helped him into his shirt. "You're very astute... Almost as much as you are kind and compassionate." She started buttoning him up. "You're very like Utena that way. I admire that."

Walt smiled and shook his head. "That's very nice to hear but not true at all. I think I'm more like you, Anthy if I may be so bold. Life isn't cut and dry into "good" and "bad". Princes and princesses. A person has many roles they can be forced into and yet many more they can choose to take upon themselves. I try to find and reach a path beyond those constraints and constructs. Unlimited and free to choose."

Anthy smiled helping him into his jacket. "I... Thank you. That means a lot to me to hear that." Gone was her mysterious demeanor and instead was just an earnestly happy young woman. "Is there anything else I can do for you?" She asked as he was now fully dressed.

Walt took her hand again. "That depends."

"On what?" She asked.

He smiled. "Can we part as friends Miss Anthy Himemiya?"

She smiled too and stepped in to hug him. "Yes. I think I'd like that very much, Walter Stark!"

Utena paused in the doorway where she'd overheard their exchange to wipe away a tear smiling and give them both a moment before walking in and joining them. Anthy's mysterious nature was attractive to people but she rarely made friends. Not real ones anyway. Her nature and testing tended to drive people away. It was rare when she made meaningful connection with someone. "We both would. Well Miss Kelley is dressed but fell asleep again. She really is tired. Are you certain you both must leave so early?"

Walt let go of Anthy but was happy when she held his hand again. "Thank you, Ms Tenjō. And you Anthy," he said giving her hand a squeeze. "I'm afraid we shouldn't tarry too much longer. But we very much enjoyed our stay and most especially your company throughout."

He was pleasantly surprised when Utena took his other hand and the two ladies escorted him from the room to where Carrie lay dressed and dozing on the couch in the living room. "Call me Utena, please and We feel the same way, Walter! Please let us escort you both out."

"And do come again!" Anthy said.

"We will," he promised. "I'm looking forward to it! Perhaps I'll bring some of the other ladies? I'm sure they'd enjoy that sometime and meeting both of you!"

"Oh my!" Anthy said giving him a teasing look. "I had a feeling that you must have other girls. You must having such a prodigious..." she eyed his crotch. "Appetite!"

"Anthy!" Utena said shocked at the implication but when Walt laughed she did too giggling and then Anthy joined in as well. "Seriously though," she said looking at Carrie's sleeping form. "Do you require any assistance with her?"

He shook his head letting go of their hands to bend down and gently pick Carrie up in his arms like a sleeping princess. "No... well maybe just the doors, if you please?"

The duo smiled and nodded. Of course the unorthodox prince would carry his equally unorthodox princess out! "It would be our pleasure, Sir!" They said with a bow and a curtsey.

They made their way out of the suite and into the oppulent Rose garden area. This time of the early morning, practically the middle of the night, it was less busy than previously but still themed characters milled about here and there, working, taking their leisure and interacting.

"Hey mister!"

Walt blinked as a Ruby Rose rushed over to them in a shower of rose petals smiling and he carefully pulled out and slip on his glasses so as not to disturb Carrie and have Friday scan her as he asked, "Yes? Can I help you Miss Rose?" As he held his breath a bit hopefully.

Friday's scan came back negative, this wasn't the Ruby Rose they were looking for either unfortunately, as Ruby looked around surreptitiously and then asked, "Do you happen to be an art lover? I'm trying to sell some pictures to raise my quota!"

"Not again, Ruby," Utena sighed as Anthy giggled. Apparently this was a somewhat regular thing with this Ruby.

Walt smiled. Even if she wasn't one of the ones he was looking for he might be able to help her out. "Sure. We have a little time. What have you got?"

Ruby grinned and pulled out a picture she'd painted seemingly from nowhere. "How about this masterpiece?!" She said proudly displaying the picture of a nude Weiss Schnee from the rear, her backside presented to the veiwer.. "It's a butt," she said proudly as Utena sighed and facepalmed while Anthy giggled. "I like butts!" She declared pleased with herself.

Walt nodded trying not to laugh. "Yup. That's a butt." He was pretty sure whatever Weiss had posed for it would be mortified to know it was being sold... well, probably. He wasn't that interested at first but as he looked he noticed that it was finely done. He was no art critic but Friday through the glasses pointed out many details from the composition to the brushstrokes and deemed it a "quality" piece if not exactly a "masterwork"... which gave him an idea!

"I do like it but sorry. It's not quite what I'm looking for at the moment and..." he noted the way she held it lovingly. "... and I'd hate to part you from a treasure."

"Oh well... Thanks," Ruby said a mixture of relief and dejection on her face. "I'm glad you appreciate it. Sorry for wasting your time-"

"Hold up," Walt interjected. "How fast can you paint? Because if it's quick maybe you'd be up for taking a commission?"

"Quick?" Ruby said with a grin. She twirled into blur of rose petals again and reappeared with paint brush, pallette, easel and a cute black berret on her head. "Speed is my middle name! Well... not actually my middle name but I am super fast!! What did you have in mind?" She asked excitedly.

"Well..." he said with a smile looking down at Carrie in his arms.

"Oh!" Ruby said catching on quickly. She gave him a grin and a thumbs-up. "I gotcha!"
