Daggum stuck out his bottom lip in a mock pout. “I was kind of enjoying the kissing…” and then he smiled. “But I suppose a nice warm bath is in oder… especially if I am taking it with you.” and he gave her a wink. Without looking, he reached back and pressed the button and then looked down at V’s legs wrapped around him. Cocking his head to the side, he gave her a side-eyed glance.

“Why my dear Mrs. Hammor… whatever will the staff think if they see us in such a position?” and he grinned wickedly.

Mr. Hammor, Betrothed of Mrs. Hammor

Viyara gave a small shrug and then grinned mischievously. “Who cares what others think, Mr. Hammor?” she asked. Though contrary to her words, she did slip gracefully of his lap and reached for her robe. “Though I do think they said something about wearing the robes, didn’t they?” she pondered, while pretending to look disgruntled. Whatever had just happened between them had felt really good and part of her wanted to continue along that path. But she was self-reflective enough to know that that might not be a good idea. He was really good person and she started to have the feeling that having him in her life in some way would do her good. Maybe even both of them. And she didn’t want to ruin that.

Hammor chuckled. “They also said they understood modesty was fluid between cultures, but I suppose the robe may be a good idea.” He stood up and turned his back to her as he slipped on the robe, thankful that something covered his reaction to her smile and sudden move off his lap.

“True and they are probably used to a lot,” Viyara grinned as she tied the belt of her robe.

As he tied the belt, there was a soft knock and the door slid open part way. A Bolian woman stuck her head in, but looked away from the two inside… obviously not her first day at the spa. “Mr. and. Mrs. Hammor? We have the mud bath ready for you, or we can wait while you… finish getting settled?” Her tone was suggestive and non-judgemental, but still quite professional. Again… not her first day.

Hammor looked at Viyara and smiled. “I think we are ready, don’t you love?” Again tears welled up in his eyes and he quickly picked up a glass of water to hide his almost-laughter.

Mr. Hammor, of the Carniss Hammors

“Yes, I would say so as well honey,” Viyara replied with a side-way glance at Daggum. In an attempt to stop herself from laughing, she pressed her lips together. It was only then that she realised that it was probably obvious that she had cried only moments ago. Turning away from the door, she reached for a glass of water as well, though more as a pretence than because she really felt like drinking some water, and wiped quickly over her face with the sleeve. She knew that that might not do much as her tears had long dried, but it was worth a try in her opinion.

Taking a deep breath, Viyara turned around again and looked from Daggum to the Bolian woman and back again. “Shall we?” she asked with a wide and charming smile.

~Mrs. Hammor, aka Viyara Nazeen

As Hammor ushered Viyara forward with a hand gently to her lower back, he said “Absolutely.” The attendant smiled and said “Please follow me.” and she led them directly across the hall.

The door opened to reveal a large open space with a white tile floor and the same wood treatment as the front of the spa on the walls. The wall opposite the door was entirely glass and looked out over what appeared to be a lush tropical forest… in actuality a top of the line holo. In the middle of the floor was an open area, three meters by five meters, filled with a deep, dark brown substance. Two pillows lay on one side of the bath about a meter apart on the shorter edge. Two open showers were visible on the right wall, and hooks on the wall by each.

The Bolian led them in and said “This is the Rigelian mud bath. We import the mud directly and it is kept at the optimal temperature for therapy and relaxation: hot, but not overly so. It will take you a bit to adjust, so be ready for that. When you disrobe, you will find steps here -” and she pointed to the side nearest the door, “- that will allow you step down into the bath. It is one and a half meters deep, but you will find that you won’t sink much once you lay back and put your heads on the pillows. You should submerge up to your neck, but please don’t attempt to ‘swim’ around. The mud is quite viscous, and we don’t want you unbale to come up for air, after all.” and she laughed slightly.

“Good to know,” Viyara chuckled as she let her gaze wander through the room, taking in every detail. “Drowning in a mud bath would be … unfortunate.”

“We will bring refreshments, compliments of Management, in in about half an hour. You will spend ninety minutes in the bath, and then I will come and assist you to the shower and help you both clean up. My name is Holsa, and I will be your service coordinator for the day. There are call buttons by each pillow so if you need me for anything… anything at all… just press and I will come to assist.” and she looked at each of them for questions.

“That sounds wonderful,” Viyara said sweetly and beamed at Holsa. “Thank you so much. I’m sure everything is going to be prefect.”

“Now if you care to disrobe, I can assist you into the bath. Or I can leave and wait outside till you are settled. Which would you prefer?” and she looked at Viyara.

Hammor

“I don’t mind if you stay and help,” Viyara replied and with a look at her “husband”, she added, “Or do you?” She didn’t think he would, but decided to ask anyway. Just in case.

As she undid the knot of the rope, Viyara started to walk towards one of the showers to put her robe up.

~Mrs. Hammor, aka Viyara Nazeen

Hammor shrugged his massive shoulders, smiled at Viyara and then at Holsa, and said “The lady of the house is in charge, so if you don’t mind assisting.” and he turned and went to stand next to Viyara. As she unfastened her robe, Hammor’s hands lighted n her shoulders and he helped slip off her robe and hang it up. Holsa then held a hand out to “Mrs. Hammor” and led her to the side of the tub, helping her step down and into the mud.

Taking her hand, Viyara let Holsa lead her towards and then into the tub. Out of reflex she pulled her foot right back as it touched the hot mud. “Oh!” she exclaimed at the same time and then added, “Now I know what you meant with getting used to it.” Shaking her head at herself, she put her foot on and thine into the mud again and this time didn’t shy away from the temperature. She wondered for a moment if it might be easier to just let herself drop into the mud, but then thought better of it as she wasn’t sure if her system would be able to handle that kind of sudden temperature change very well.

Once Viyara was in, Holsa returned to Daggum. Daggum shrugged off the robe and there was a barely audible sharp intake of breath on Holsa’s part… whether due to Hammor or the marks on him was anyone’s guess.

She smiled and then led him in the same fashion to the side and let him ease his way down. The mud was hot, almost but not quite uncomfortably so, and very thick. Finally settling his bulk down next to Viyara, he leaned back against the side and put his head on the pillow. “Thank you, Holsa. It is a first for me, but I think we will enjoy it.” Holsa smiled and said “You two just relax and let the heat and minerals do their work. I’ll be back to check on you and with refreshments in a bit. Enjoy.” and she left the room.

Daggum turned his head to look at Viyara and smiled a warm smile. “Yeah… could definitely get used to this.”

The “Mr.” of Mr. and Mrs. Hammor

With her eyes closed and her cheeks flushed from the heat, Viyara rested her head on the pillow and was silent for several moments as she let herself get used to the heat and the sensation of the mud. Eventually she opened her eyes again and turned her head towards Daggum. “Yes,” she replied thoughtfully, “I think I could as well. It’s rather different, but in a good way.”

“Yeah… and the bath is kinda nice, too.” he said with a wink and an even warmer smile before rolling his back and closing his eyes.

“Any idea what the refreshments are going to be?” she asked curiously and continued with a slight shake of her head, “How did you manage all of this anyway?”

~Mrs. Hammor, aka Viyara Nazeen

Face towards the ceiling and eyes closed, Daggum smiled and said “A magician never reveals his secrets, wife. Besides, did you forget? Logistics specialist.” he said as he raised a thumb out of the mud and gestured to himself and then settled his arm back. “And places like this always have specials or something for weddings and anniversaries. It was just a matter of playing it up a bit… which I did with Mario.”

“Of course,” Viyara laughed lightly. “How could I forget?”

He then shifted himself so that he was closer to Viyara, their legs barely touching, and settled down lower into the heat and heaviness of the mud.

The “Mr.” of Mr. and Mrs. Hammor

For several long moments she sat in complete silence next to him. Simply enjoying the moment. It wasn’t often that she was that quiet in the presence of other. Outside of the lab, that is. After all, to keep people from asking questions you didn’t want them to ask, it was best to keep them talking about themselves.

Shifting her leg a little, Viyara nudged Daggum’s thigh ever so slightly with her knee. “What are you thinking about,” she asked curiously, but without looking at him.
