Sinric lead Hannibal out of a doorway and into the warm light of spring afternoon. He cranes to look up, following the line of the wall and the buildings. "We're in the right place. The bath should be just through there."

He points to a alley that leads out the road and the grand entrance to the bath houses. "It is small by some standards. Only large enough for thirty or forty people. Many of the greater baths have closed for the cost to keep them is very high and many wealthy households have smaller bathes of their own."

Again Sinric nods minutely and makes a mental note to speak to the head of the palace kitchens about having extra food sent to the slaves of this establishment. Some small way of giving back.

He helped Hannibal into his tunic and belt, going to his knees to lace up the sandels. He glances up at Hannibal with a smile as he stands, glad to have had today.

Hannibal gathers him close for another kiss, never mind who sees this.

[thewidewideworld]

He melts into the kiss, alway warmed by a demonstrative lover.

He lingers there a moment, looking up into Hannibal strange and wonderful eyes before allowing the mask of servitude to slip back into place as he dresses and opens the door back to the bar.

Hannibal follows quietly, all the way back.

Sinric shudders as they re-enter the bar, his hair straightening from dark waves to his usual cascade of gold. "How strange! I'll almost miss the curls."

[cook_the_rude]

"Almost," Hannibal says. "It was a charming disguise, but this is you."

Pause.

"Thank you again for the once-in--a-lifetime experience."

Sinric smiles warmly, touched by Hannibal's kindness. He pushes up on his toes to kiss the corner of Hannibal's lips. "Thank you. Now, I should get back before I'm missed. Till next time our paths meet, iki pasimatymo." He adds in passable Lithuanian.

[cook_the_rude]

"Xαιρε," Hannibal replies, returning the kiss for a last time before parting.
