Nero and Frides changed into their bath house robes and headed to the bath house with Urs. As they walked to the bath house they passed by the Glow Stone. Around the spring beach, sand had been shipped in and spread around the spring. The sand was clear as glass and people were walking on it without cutting their feet. Teenagers jumped up playing volleyball and little kids sat by the edge and made sand castles that shimmered in the sun light.
Most of the other guests looked old or sickly. It would be confused for a hospital if all of the guests weren't dressed so nice. They were rapped in expensive colors and patterns, draped in jewels and diamonds from their ears to their ankles.
Waitresses in two piece polka dot bikini skirts, delivered refreshments to people in beach chairs and tables. Their demeanor was nothing like the girl in glasses that had showed them to their suite. They were hospitable and bubbly, leaving their patrons with smiles on their faces. They also had numbers on their tops. The girl with the glasses didn't have a number on her from what Nero could remember..
"I'm a mummy of Zurah! Mph." Nero bumpped into a kid running around, his face wrapped in bandages. The kid peaked out of the bandages and ran back to play with the other kids. Some in wheel chairs and all with one appendage or another bandaged.
His mother ran after him. "I'm sorry." She mouthed to Nero.
Nero looks around for the father which was nowhere to be found.
At the front of the bath house a carriage pulled up with the Peace Corps logo on it.
The door opened and a body seemed to fling itself onto the cobble stone in a thud. The body is that of a man with grey glow chains around his wrists and ankles. Marcel hopped out of the carriage and dragged the man up to his feet
"Watch out for that first step!" Marcel called into the carriage to his party.
Larel stepped out of the carriage and walked past Marcel without saying a word ignoring Marcel's comment and smirk.
Tentris scammered out of the carriage and over to the man in chains. "Don't be so rough! You might release the Captains chains."
"You think Captain Enyo's Glow is weak?" Marcel said loudly.
"Well..." Tentris stopped short following Marcel's eyes to the door of the vehicle. Captain Enyo faded into sight and slowly climbed out.
A woman in a polka dot bikini and a man in a polka dot speedo rushed down the steps to the front entrance of the bathhouse.
"We are honored to receive the Peace Corps. Welcome to Horseshoe Natural Springs."
"Yes, welcome back." A voice drew the attention of everyone except the Captain. A woman with long braided silver hair and a white linen dress looked down at the group.
Captain Enyo craned his head up. "Keeper Silvers, Thank you for having us, again."
"Two times in one trip? Should I keep a room reserved for you indefinitely?" She slowly made her way down the stairs.
"Yes, my apologies, Madam Silvers. That won't be necessary. We're actually here due to a bit of a misunderstanding in regards to our previous visit." His expression changed from playful to stern causing Madam Silvers to fidget with her shoulder strap coolly.
"I'm sure we can clear that up." She said as she slipped a hand under his arm. Summoning enough composure to appear flirty.
"I hope so." Captain Enyo replied.
"My attendants will see to your underlings." She assured him.
"Larel, we will be staying the night. I'm aware your shoulders still haven't healed completely, so have Marcel and Tentris guard the recruit."
"I'm fine Captain."
"Are you calling me a liar, or do you think I'm blind?"
"No sir."
"They'll guard the recruit. Consider yourself lucky we were close to the Springs."
"Yeah make sure to strip down so the water can heal all of your aches. Wherever they might be." Marcel's eyes fall below Larel's waist.
Larel turned to Marcel and Tentris. "We will follow the attendants to our suite and you both will stay in the room during our entire stay. You will not leave the room, or enjoy any of the amenities here at Horseshoe. Do not jeopardize our mission of transferring a recruit, again."
"Yes sir." Tentris answered.
Marcel scoffed but Larel didn't drop his eye contact. "Yes sir." Marcel replied defiantly after shifting his eyes quickly away from Captain Enyo.
"Now that that's settled let's discuss this in my office." Madam Silvers escorted Captain Enyo up the stairs.
