They say you haven't truly lived until you've had a Roman bath... Lakisha disagreed. You hadn't truly lived until you stood atop a mountain at the peak of winter, so high up you could barely breathe, with a glittering slope of powder snow at your feet just waiting to be carved by the curve of your skis.
But oh well, they didn't have any of those here in Camp Jupiter.
So Roman bath it was.
After leaving her clothes behind in the apodyterium, Lakisha walked down a small corridor and opened the door to the warm tepidarium. White marble greeted her as well as the scent of aromatic oils -- a bit heady, but pleasant. No pool here, nothing but marble benches and mosaics of glittering blue, green and gold. Arches swept up into a curved ceiling painted a warm shade of yellow-orange and Lakisha leaned back against the wall, feeling herself start to sweat already. For a normal person's standards it was fairly warm in here, but for a daughter of the snow goddess, this was summer heat at it's finest. Her pale skin starting to get quite sticky in her navy bikini, she decided to pull this through quickly. First the warm room, then the hot bath and after that the cold one. The best for the last.
