A nice hot soak is what this day called for. He pulled off his shirt and kicked his sandals off, then neatly folded the shirt and put the sandals next to it on the side by a chair. The room was full of the sound of fountains and only a few others were here seeing as it was a reasonably sunny day so why go inside? He walked to the edge of the heated pool and dunked his toe in. It was kept at about body temperature, which he found heavenly. So he slipped into the water and sat on the edge step so that it was up to his shoulders and he could lean his head back on the edge. This was the life. He wasn’t the sort to go to the spa all that regularly, so this was just the thing. He closed his eyes and listened to the fountains mounted against the walls burbling water from the mouths of nymph forms and fish.
And giggling. He heard giggling. He opened one eye just a smidge to glance over at the door and spotted the source. Even though his attention was enti-… okay, mostly on this one girl… he still liked to tease others. So the three younger girls who had just come in and noticed him there and commenced their not-so-quiet whispering… how could he resist? Why was it that when one was trying to be quiet, they were more noticeable. That was one thing he liked about Mel. She rarely hid anything. If she was mad, you knew it. If she was happy, you knew that too.
But back to the present. He lifted one hand just a bit out of the water and waved a bit at the group of giggly girls, which had a fun reaction. One turned away, one cupped her hands over her mouth, and the other beams like Christmas morning and waved back. So what did Regulus do? He leaned his head back and let them do whatever they willed. Approach or not, he’d leave that up to them now. This was an old game for him.
