Vena comes right in. Yup. He's still here and still big. Lashan's clothes are like a sausage casing on him.

"Hi! Do you always sleep in? Master's taking a bath for her bones. You can't go talk to her now, she'll be snippy. If you wanna bath with no one around it should be later. Do you brush your hair? Is it too short? How do you cut it? Does that hurt?" She is of course extremely awake and completely willing to chatter. Vena's gone through the bathhouse herself and combed her damp hair out and got it braided, a bit unevenly, into one plait, and changed into a fresh tunic.
