Surprise him...

A thought suddenly pops into your head, you wanted to surprise him. You put on your best tired face and fake a yawn, trying to keep yourself from grinning as you do.

"Ehh, sorry love, Sanna is feeling beat for some strange reason, and she wasn't even the one doing the stomping back there." You say, trying to come off as tired.

Nacius nods. "You're okay Sanna, I don't blame you, that leg has to make things complicated." He says, sounding a little disappointed.

You lay back on the bed, putting the back of your hand on your forehead.

"Sanna owes you though, for everything..." You say.

"Psh, you're okay, take a nap, hopefully by the time you're up, I'll have gotten some food for us here by then." He says before slowly going down into the cellar.

You waited for a moment just to be sure that he had actually made his way down, after a while you sit back up, he wasn't there anymore and the cellar door was wide open! A smile creeped up your face, you hadn't been down in the cellar yet, so hopefully he wouldn't notice you coming down there. You get up and walk over to the cellar door, you wait a little longer, just to be one hundred percent sure that he's in the tub. You decide to stick your head down just to take a look around before trying to sneak up on him.

You drop to the ground, your head just over the door to the cellar, you slowly lower your head, looking around while your head hangs upside down. The cellar was even dustier than the rest of the place even with the poor lighting of a single lantern in the far corner, but that didn't surprise you at all, you saw that it was quite big, and there was a sharp turn at the end, you think it's safe to assume that leads to the tub...

You slowly get up, using your cane as leverage, now you had to go down a ladder with your leg, how hard can it be? You set your cane down and put your bad leg on the ladder first, just trying to test the water, you were shaky, but if you were quick enough, maybe you could make it down without incident, it was a short ladder after all.

You take a deep breath and quickly and quietly make your way down the ladder, holding your cane in your hand as well. When you make it to the bottom, your leg feels wobbly, but after a few seconds, it goes back to normal. You were in, you felt your face warm up and your lower region begin to dampen up at the thought of what would happen. Slowly but surely you made your way through the cellar, trying not to touch any bottles or make any noise. You recoil as you accidentally step on a particularly creaky bit of wood, but it doesn't seem that Nacius could hear it.

You made it to the turn, peeking around the corner you saw a rickety wooden door, that had to be it. You take a deep breath and slip out of your shirt, letting it hang from the neck of a really dusty bottle of wine, you quietly undo your pants, balling them up and then just leaving them on the ground, now you stood outside the door in just your undergarments, a small damp spot on your underwear indicating that you were all hot and ready for what was to come...

You press your ear to the door, listening in, you can only hear the occasional drip of water and a few sighs from Nacius. You hoped to the moons that the door didn't creak as you slowly cracked it open. Taking a peek through the small opening, you saw that Nacius had his back turned to you. You silently celebrate before slowly opening the door further, opening it just enough for you to squeeze through, the tub was nothing special, it was wooden, there was a primitive looking pipe coming out of the ceiling with an even more primitive looking pump mechanism next to it, occasionally a little droplet would come out, falling into the tub below. The only source of light in the room were two small lanterns in opposite corners of the room.

Nacius looked relaxed, he was just sitting there, head leaned back, occasionally he'd look down to his side where he had been stabbed. You slowly inched yourself closer to him, eventually you silently placed your cane on the ground. You where mere inches from Nacius now, you tried not to breath too heavily, which proved to be a bit of a challenge just from how worked up you're feeling...

Now... How were you going to get his attention? Maybe just poke his neck and scare him, ohh, or perhaps you could do something a bit more... provocative?
