There’s one thing better than bathing, and that is bathing with others! Women bathing like to gossip and gossip is always fun. Except the serious kind which is just not my thing. Give me a light-hearted, friendly exchange of trivial love stories and shunning face-slaps any day!
One of the ‘bathers’ were the Countess Dmitreva. I like the grand Lady, she’s a nice ‘un, or I wouldn’t have signed on to be her retainee. Although all this “court jester” stuff makes me itch – it sounds so grand, and I am so small! The Lady is new in her role as a noble – appointed such for her deeds to help the king get onto the throne. I wouldn’t know much about that, but it sure makes her worry a lot. She does smile a lot anyway though – even if the smiles are strained sometimes. Smiles are great! A fool lives by her smiles!
Reminds me, I need to go throw some jesterly invites to some powerful people of the city on behalf of the Lady. Shall be fun! Maybe I can even catch them in the bath!
