Leina:
You don't see anyone.
Nyx:
As you reach for Irene, you realize that she, like many anthros in the Grassland kingdom, has been naked this whole time. The showers are basically tubes that draw water from the ocean. The tubes are capped by pieces of stone that are moved through a simple pulley system. When you open it up, you find that the salt has somehow been removed from the water. The water is warm, but not hot. You can hear Layla and Xiao quite well, despite the running water.
Layla:
"Oh, beatings, mostly," Xiao replies nonchalantly. "When I did something wrong, or your parents thought I was getting too close to you, they'd take me into their room and beat me for a good five minutes or more. It was your father that did it the most, though. With him, he just had to LOOK at me, and he wanted to beat me. But the worst part was they actually spoke while beating me. Both of them had pretty violent tempers, and they would yell at me for the whole time depending on why they were beating me. Sometimes, though, they were totally silent the whole time."
She turns you, so that she can get water onto your back and finish up cleaning it.
Willow:
This door is also locked...
Apollo:
When you look up, you see Leina looking down at you.
Leina:
After a moment, you see Apollo look out of his window. He looks a little startled, but unharmed.

I wave a bit nervously to Apollo before calling down to him. "Are you ok?! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen!"

"Third time lucky?" She mumbled as she went to try the next door whilst glancing around the room quickly incase there may be a key or something nearby.

"What?!" I exclaim, not incredibly loudly or angerily, but in a very surpised fashion.
"How did they hide it? What would they say? Oh, I probably don't want to know... I feel I must, though. That is, if you're all right with it..." I say.

Willow:
Once again, it is locked...perhaps these services have not been added to the hall, and these doors are just placeholders?
Layla:
Xiao leans in close.
"Not while Irene's around," she says. "I'll tell you later."

I head inside, and try my best to follow Nyx to the washroom, it might be nice to wash up a little.

"Well this game certainly makes things hard to get now doesn't it" walking away from the doors and taking a sip of wine, she headed up the staircase.

"Yes, I'm fine." I say, looking back up at Leina. "But, what exactly just happened?"

Sand-Claw:
The stairs are a little cramped, but once you get into the wash chamber, you find it separated by gender. Within the female section, you find that the showers are basically tubes that draw water from the ocean. The tubes are capped by pieces of stone that are moved through a simple pulley system. When you open it up, you find that the salt has somehow been removed from the water. The water is warm, but not hot.
Willow:
You come out into the open air near the Leader's Manor, where Layla, Xiao, Nyx, and Irene slept. You can look over the wall at the grounds, go into the Leader's Manor, go into one of the towers (east/west), or go back down either into the west hall (where you just were) or the east hall.

"Oh..." I say, trailing off, waiting for my turn to wash Xiao, or if she said anything else to me. I go silent, but after a long pause, I finally say something.
"So if I use many of the techniques they taught me for communication, and they were like that, then what am I? Certainly I don't follow their morals, but still... Fie, I'm thinking about this too much, aren't I?"

I help Irene wash up and quickly finish washing myself and get dressed again. On a whim, I decide to go see if Leina is in her room. "I'm going to go see if I can at least get on decent terms with Leina. I'll be back a little later, okay, Irene?"

I wash up, and look around the room, this place has more then one washroom I'm sure. I just wanted to know if I was in the right one.

Looking out across the surrounding land, although taking little in, she thought back to her days with the Jean-Claude, Jirubi and Kimahri, the last group of companions she had been with.
She had betrayed them, but unlike now, it had been for real. Irritated with herself for thinking of the past, Willow Threw her glass over the wall before heading towards the leaders manor, in search of a shower.

Layla:
Xiao turns you around and puts the soap in your hand.
"What are you?" she says. "You're a better woman. And yes, you are over thinking this. Just let it go. Now you clean my back."
She turns so that you can do so.
Nyx:
Irene nods.
"I'll stay with Sand-Claw," she says. "Though Xiao seems like a fun person..."
You remember that Leina is on the fourth floor of west tower.
Sand-Claw:
It sure looks like the right one: Layla and Xiao are helping each other wash their backs, and Nyx is helping Irene wash up.
Willow:
In the entire Leader's Manor, you do not find a wash chamber. You do, however, find a staircase leading below it. There is a faint glow coming from wherever the staircase leads.

I start cleaning Xiao,s back, and turn to Irene.
"Hey, Irene! I don't believe we got properly introduced! I'm Layla if you didn't catch it. You finding everything alright?" I ask her.
