Traversing Through Beastmen World

🐇 21. Warm

Bree was pulled into the bathing room by Midori. When Bree glanced back, Byron had a half smile on his face and shrugged his shoulders. Then the flap for a door closed her out from the rest of the house. The new room she was in is a decent sized room and a bit larger than she was expecting. All of the walls were lined with smooth rocks and that same light blue foam like stuff was holding all of the rocks in place. In the floor was a large ceramic tub, like an in ground garden tub, but round like a bowl. At the top was a little ceramic bowl and resting inside it, was a shiny blue crystal, sparkling and faceted like a blue diamond, the size of an eye.

Along the edge of the in ground tub were more ceramic bowls with lids and in the wall next to the tub were more floating shelves with more ceramic bowls with lids. On the left wall there was a small fireplace made from stone that had a flat top and a vent pipe sticking into the wall. On the top of it was another bowl, but this one was full of smooth stones the size of a large hand. The top of the bowl was lined with a thick layer of blue foam wrapped in leather.

Bree watched as Midori walked over to the bowl of rocks and picked it up. Then she leaned over and dumped the rocks into the tub. The rocks sizzled as they were dumped into the water and the surface of the water bubbled slightly.

"That should make the water nice and warm. What kind of dried flowers do you like in you bathwater? We don't have a whole lot of choices, but when we go to market I'm sure we'll pick out some things that you prefer. Some of my favorites are around the tub and if you don't like those, we have some more on the shelf. You should have a look," Midori said.

Bree crouched down and picked up the little pot that was the closest to her. When she lifted the lid she found dried red petals that smelled like hibiscus blossoms. The next pot was filled with leaves that smelled like mint. After that she found a pot that was filled with dried wild roses. Then she found a small pot that had thick coconut oil in it. There was another bowl with crude chunks of light green soap inside it. The soap smelled kind of fishy but also like avocados and catnip. Bree put the lid back on the jar securely. The final bowl was full of chucks of that light blue foam that Bree had been seeing everywhere.

"What's this?" Bree said while pointing at the chunks of blue foam.

"This?" Midori said while picking up a chunk of the blue foam and handing it to Bree.

"I guess you aren't from around here. It's foam made from a Blue Gum tree. The inside of a Blue Gum tree has blue colored goo in it and when the blue goo has air blown into it, it turns into a spongy material that can be used as great cushions and for insulation. It's really sturdy, so it can be used for all sorts of things. We also use it to clean and dry off with."

Bree holds the foam between her hands and squeezes it. It kind of feels like a firm memory foam.

"The water should have cooled off enough by now for you to get into the tub. If you need anything else, just let me know. I left a clean dress for you on the shelf and some sandals," Midori walks out while talking and Bree is finally alone again.

Bree quickly strips off her nasty clothing and throws it away from herself. She crouches down and touches the water, it's a tad bit warmer than she usually would have ran it for herself, but it feels heavenly. she slides into the tub and settles inside it. It's so deep that the water just covers her shoulders and it's large enough to stretch out in. If it was just a bit bigger, she could probably swim in it. She pulls out some flower petals and throws them into the water. A sweet fragrance starts to float off the surface of the water and Bree sighs contentedly.

This seemed like a good opportunity to assign her boosting points, so she pulled up her menu while she was soaking in the tub.
