Well you don't run into anyone you know so, yes

Walking through the Dorm building you see a lot of students looking at you. A lot of them probably saw your fight and as you pass you hear them chatter and can't help but feel like the subject. Lucia doesn't pay them any mind and as you either.

Walking to the bath access there aren't many people waiting outside and most are lounging on the chairs chatting rather than waiting. Lucia walks to the lower class baths and you cough to get her attention and look at the middle class one waving your keystone. You are kinda curious what the lower class baths look like but you have the access and you are with Lucia, why not share some increased comfort with her.

She looks unsure then shrugs and follows you inside. You separate and each go to your respective genders changing room. There are a few towels missing from the men's room so the bath shouldn't be empty. You strip and check the damage to your uniform caused by Asune. You hope Wilfred will be able to replace it for you without charge, though you probably shouldn't take advantage of the relationship like that, he was nice and friendly and the only guy friend you had that you weren't fucking. Putting your clothes away you wrap the towel around your waist and enter the baths.

One thing that instantly takes your notice is that the few men you knew would be here are all spread around the room most have more than one woman around them. You recall yesterday noting that people had started to couple up and the ratio of men to women was hard to miss. In here there were around three woman for each man.

You took a seat that was available not near anyone and wait for Lucia.

"Hey you want some company?" A woman asks standing by you with her towel over her shoulder. She is pushing her chest out and you look away to avoid staring.

"Waiting for some actually." You respond trying to be friendly and not pervy.

"No need to wait." She says taking a seat very close to you. "You know I could help to wash you if you want." She leans towards you and set a hand on your thigh. "You've got a nice body."

"I'm good." You say sliding away from her.

"Don't be like that, I can make you feel good, just," she puts her hand back on your thigh and moves it up, "let me get a –"

"Sorry for being late my Lord." Lucia shouts hurrying over to you. A few of the people in the bath looked at you but none paid any more attention. When Lucia arrived she glared at the women she interrupted. "I see you aren't yet recognised yet." She is sounding very formal and pulling in a deep breath she say, "This is Christopher, personal friend of her Highness Anastasia, courted by Lady Vatarie. Both of who would be fascinated to hear about this." She stretch out the last bit then sat down next to the now slightly worried looking woman. "I might however be will to overlook your," She lean forward to stare at the hand on your thigh, "touching." She put her own hand on the woman's thigh and moved it up.

The woman jumped up and hurried away to sit by one of the other occupied guys. "Thanks." You say happy to not have to deal with that yourself.

Lucia shrugged. "Hey, you stopped me from getting off last time, seemed fair I do the same." She had a smile on her face so she clearly didn't interpret what just happened as anything wrong. Guess this is just another part of inverted gender dynamics.

You lean back and dip your hand into the divot to start wiping your body down. "Want a hand?" Lucia asked looking at you.

"Sure." You say, she twirls a hand and you face away from her. After a slight pause you feel water being dumped on your head and a giggling from behind. Before you can spin around and splash her back she spoons water onto your shoulders. You sit there as she wipes you down. Honestly it is actually kinda nice having someone touch you who doesn't have any sexual interest you.

When you back is down she taps your shoulder and you turn. She immediately throws a handful of water into your face making herself laugh. You wipe the water off and consider throwing her into the pool. She seems to catch on to your look and winks at you then starts running water over your chest daring you to throw her in.

"You've got some serious muscles. If you had some tits I would totally be into you." Lucia said making you look at her a little oddly. "What, I like chicks doesn't mean I can't appreciate a body." You can't fault her logic and as she refers to a body you look at hers. Her towel is wrapped around the top of her boobs so you can't really see anything but guess they'd be a decent handful, from all the dancing you know she is slim but don't see much muscle definition. She seems to note your staring and says, "If you want a handy I can find Miss felt you up."

"Sorry." You say looking away.

"Look all you want I don't care, I'm just not going to be the one dealing with anything that result from looking at this perfect explain of womanly beauty." She says undoing her towel. "Also your turn." She turns around and pulls her hair from behind her shoulder to over them give you access to her back.

You do the mature thing and with two hand gather as much water as you can and dump it all on top of her head. She sputters a little in surprise. "Something wrong?"

"No just confused how anyone would prefer such unrefined technique." The quip makes you reconsider the pool throwing. "Hurry up, dinner soon."

You spoon water onto her back and start to wipe it over her skin making sure every part is clean. Her skin is a smooth as you expected and while you can't feel the same muscles as you have with the other's you've massaged she is best described as lithe, small but strong muscles from a life spent dancing.

"Done." You say and she spins around letting you see her chest. "Ah." You say as her nipples take up your view.

Lucia taps you on the nose with a raise eyebrow. "Not dealing with consequences remember."

"Right sorry." You say and spoon some water onto her shoulder. The droplets roll down to one of her nipples and you pay attention the whole trip. "Sorry." You say again as you regain your focus and start to spoon water a bit more seriously. As you finish she grabs her boobs.

"Wanna see a trick?" She says with a grin in her voice. You nod a little unsure and with some water trapped between her chest she squeezes them, shooting a spurt of water into your face. Giggling manically at you.

You being the mature one, grab her hips lift her over your shoulder and throw her into the pool. She laughs the whole time and when she breaks the surface she is grinning at you. You hop into the pool to get your lower half cleaner. As you are in the water and your attention isn't taken up by Lucia you look at some of the others in the room. More than one of the guys have their towel off and are being the closer subject of their female companions attention.

You look away wondering if they should be doing this in public for a moment, then the hypocrisy of the thought becomes to much for you and with a blush look away. Lucia is looking around as well but doesn't care much for what she sees. If anything she looks kinda disappointed, you figure the disappointment is at the genders currently engaging in sexual acts.

The two of you swim for a bit before leaving the pool. Grabbing your towel you both dry off a bit then go to get changed.

You pull of your uniform a little sad that the cut in the fabric wasn't repaired by the cabinet. You wait for her outside the baths for a moment before she joins you. You both go the dinning hall and you feel really good about having a friend without sex being on the table, you actually feel a bit more relaxed around her than you down around Edin because of it.

Entering the dinning hall you look around for any familiar faces.
