"First time was my sisters...they decided to play doll and since I was the youngest I got to be dressed up. Later...well some men sort of loose their guard when around the opposite gender. Not my favorite thing to do but for a while...I had to obey orders." Jysayne sigh scrubbing angrily at the stones.
"You can come home with me, I doubt Uncle will care and the baths while communal are cleaner then the public bathhouses are." Or at least he thought so. He was not going to a public bathhouse.

Xar made some sympathetic sounds in return to what Jyses told him. Thank the gods he had been an only child and not treated in such a way. Though..had the fellows of his group ever thought to dress him up in girly clothes he would have bitten them or mauled and maimed them in the process. He had been rather feral in his early years..it had taken years for him to calm down as much as he had. Though..there were times when that feral side of him emerged when pressed into corners.
"What horrible luck." Xar replied, and stood up from the floor and surveyed the work he had done so far.
"Looks like there's only a spot or two over there..and then we're done." Xar said pointing to an area behind Jyses.
He was rather stunned and not sure of how to respond when Jyses nonchalantly offered to take him home to use the baths at his home. It probably would be cleaner..and not so crowded. He didn't particularly like crowds..but he endured them when he had to. While the proposal was a pleasant surprise..there was something about it that made him cautious and alarmed. He just hoped Jyses was the type to chase female skirts and not other men. That would be a very uncomfortable position to place himself into without knowing.
"Uh.." He uneasily brushed his hair out of his face and sighed not knowing how to broach the subject. "You uh.. so you prefer chasing female skirts right?"

Jysayne cranked himself over to scrub at the spot, wondering how he had mised it. "Mmm...die spot, die." he grumbled attacking it with vigor.
A warm thick laugh chuckled up, his eyes gleaming slightly. "No, but I'm not inviting you to get ravished...I'm sort of seeing someone..."Shifts slightly a bit embaressed. "So, don't worry."

Xar watched Jyses attack the spot with vigorous strokes and grinned rather amused at it. This fellow really knew how to make people laugh..even when he didn't mean to. Xar figured the other would be annoyed if he pointed this out or laughed at his antics.
The next words had Xar gulping and then sighing in relief. Thank the gods! Though now he had other concerns flittering through his head. If he were going to bath in the same room with Jyses..he was going to have to get somewhat naked. That was something he wasn't too comfortable with as he was rather stick thin under his clothes.
This was mainly due to the fact that he never got his full share of food when out on the job. Since he was the smallest of the group he was usually the last to eat which meant he got the pittance of the remnants of what they ate for the meal. That reminded him..he'd have to stock up on some food supplies before he left town or he'd barely survive on the meager fare he was allotted. They mercenary brutes were glutinous empty pits that would eat everything in sight..which meant more times than naught Xar was left with nothing at the end of the day.
Enough of that depressing thinking, if he kept dwelling on it he'd get cranky and become horrible company. He didn't want to do that to Jyses, he wouldn't put it past the other to try and drown him if he were to become surly and unwanted company. That was not a way he wanted to die.
"Oh. Well as long as I am safe from your passions I will take you up on your kind offer, Jyses." Xar replied at long last.

Jysayne tossed his bruch in the empty bucket, standing slowly and cracking his back and grunting as his knees click slight. He slipped the padding back into the box. "Alright, follow me then and I'll take you to the house."
He gave a wave to his sibbling as he left the building heading towards the slums. "We're a bit loud but we do have fun."

Xar followed suit with his brush and padding, and then grabbed the buckets up and shoved them in the box as well. He was rather OCD about keeping areas clean..probably from not being able to do so when out on the job.
Xar cringed at the sound of the popping back, his hand itching to be made useful with massage. He shoved his hands into his pockets and then remembered his armor. He rushed over and gathered it up, pulling it back on over his clothing and hurried to follow Jyses out of the door.
"Oh? If those two are any indication of the rest of your family I doubt I will be surprised all that much." Xar replied honestly, raising his hand slightly to the huge fellow that watched him with shrewd eyes.

Jyses snorted, pulling his under robe around him tightly having left the expensive elaborate over robes of his kimono at home. "Most of those that live with us are normal, but as Illiam often saids. What is normal?" Jysyane grinned, bare feet padding on the hard floor, watching for litter.
"There it is," He called, pointing to a tall multi story building that looks a bit lopsided. Surrunded by a fence and patroling drow in neat uniforms all with a small scorpion patch and the writing 'Black riders' A scorpion banner is rolled down besides the gate. "Welcome to the den of the Black riders. We don't bite...much. "Jysayne laughed giving a teasing grin and waved to the men on duty. "Open the gate!"

Xar grinned at the other's words, staying back in Jyses' shadow so to keep hidden. He didn't particularly care for the area of town they were going into and knew enough to stay close to the other..but not to appear to scared or frightened or he might get picked off by someone. And that would not be a good thing.
He came to a stop behind Jyses and peered up at the tall building he pointed out..his jaw going slightly slack at the immense form. He couldn't help but wonder what made it lopsided..perhaps some sort of accident or perhaps shoddy builders. He wasn't about to ask..he could tell that Jyses was proud of his home and probably wouldn't like people pointing out that it was off kilter.
"Impressive, " Xar muttered staring at the clean looking guards surrounding the gates. "I'd like to see my fellow mercenaries clean up that nice for a change."

Jyses grinned. "It's a requirment. We deal with a lot of the noble and middle class houses such we need to look neat, clean. Professional. Which is how we got into this current mess...but its drow nature." He sigh, walking slowly heading for the building. "The baths are in the basement, easier then drawing water all the way to the rooms. Training grounds are behind the building...and kitchen is on the ground level."

"I can understand that. I'd prefer to be clean and professional than to be reduced to this all the time." Xar said regretfully glancing down at himself.
He cringed when he saw how dinged up his armor was becoming. In comparison to the shiny armor the guards wore..he felt drab and like a lowlife in their presence. This comparing himself to them was doing nothing for his self esteem.
He quickly put it out of his mind and hurried to follow after Jyses, trying to not register the glances that were coming his way. He figured that Jyses probably never brought drow of his status home before from the snide looks he was getting.
"That's smart." Xar said, taking in the sights of the grounds and the building as they drew closer to it. It was quite imposing..and it became much more so the closer one got to it. He couldn't help but wonder if he had made the right decision in coming here.

Jysyane gave the snide guards a glare, before walking down the steps, figners trailing on the stone. "You be fine Xar...if anyone gives you trouble just say you are my guest."
He walks to a door, peering in before nodding. "This bath is not in use yet..." He walks into the circular room a deep pool of water with rising steam big enough to seat seven and dozens of small bottles of soap and washes. He picked up a towel, wrapping it around his waist before he stripped out of the robe and sunk into the steaming warmth.

Xar shot a glare of his own at the guards and followed after Jyses.
"That I shall do..they're a bit too stuck up for hired help, perhaps you should beat it out of them."
He was rather surprised that the first bath area that Jyses stopped at was free of people. He followed after him and looked around in surprise. Oh..private bath houses were much cleaner and better kept from public ones..this one practically sparkled from the top to bottom. Xar unloosened his armor, and pulled his tunic off over his head and tossed them into a corner of the room. Then he did as Jyses had done and wrapped a towel..a clean soft towel around his waist and slid off his breeches and tossed them over with his other belongings.
Then he slid inside the bath..making small moans of pleasure as he eased himself as far as he could down into the steaming water. He ended up having his whole body...up to his nose immersed under the water. He sighed with pleasure and felt his tense muscles loosen and the knots start to fade away under the warm intense pressure of the steaming hot water.
Ahh...now this was the life. Xar would have said it out loud if his mouth wasn't under water and he wasn't so comfortable. He didn't want to move a muscle if he didn't have to. He had to fight to stay awake in the water..he didn't want to drown himself after all, even if it was perfection.

"The house is built over hot springs. We had some mages work to pipe up water to the baths..." Jysayne wiggled, streching his toes into the water feeling the bubbles rising from the holes in the stone tub tickle his flesh.
He grined at Xar as the other melted in a relax puddle of Xar goo. He reached over pulling a bottle over and popped the top, adding a small amount of liquid to the water causing it to bubble and foam.

Xar murmured slightly in response to Jyses words, the water muffled the sound and a small group of bubbles to cover the top of the water next to his mouth. He grinned at the sight of Jyses adding something liquid...most likely some form of soap which would bubble up and add some much needed cleansing.
He was right. When the water began to bubble and foam up around them he rather reluctantly moved back to lean against the edge of the wall. He rested his head against the edge and let his body go limp in the water and float.
Ahh..this was the life! "I could stay in here for days if I wasn't supposed to get back." Xar murmured with a very pleasured expression on his face.

Jyses leaned over, showing of a smooth unblemished dark skin but for the three tiny red flowers tattooed on his shoulder. He reached and hissed in glee as he pulled the scrub pads made from bamboo towards him and tossed on at Xar's head. "Yeah...now scrub!" He ran the surprising soft fabric over his skin removing the dust of the day.
