For Sinric

[athelstanthescribe]

Athelstan's room is almost pathologically neat, the bed made and everything in its place.

He stands aside to let Sinric in, the bathroom door standing open to reveal the huge sunken bath inside.

The bath makes Sinric marvel. There are bath-houses aplenty in the palace. Even one in the eunuchs quarters but nothing so grand in a private chamber. "You must be a very important man indeed!"
