5th of Spring, 516 AV.
Raylan had a client waiting for him on arrival. The request was surprisingly short and to the point. Vela delivered it with all the poise of an experienced owner of a bath house, his Ethaefal employer skipping their usual flirtations dance of compliments. "No foreplay?" He grinned. "Right! Business first and pleasure only if there is time." Raylan gave her a wink and waited with a sly smirk, leaning over the counter of the rounded wooden desk Vela stood behind. This was followed by a laundry list of details from Vela unrelated to the job itself.
"Darling, care to do something for me?" The Ethaefal's words tickled Raylan's inquisitive nature. His brow lifted in slightly curiosity causing him to lean in closer. "For you? Anything, just name it?" The slightest hint of a smile takes the corner of her mouth. "Your next client was in the baths earlier -She is in your usual room at the moment-. She and a few of her friends were talking about a curious thing." The woman wagged her eyebrows once at him. "And? Just what are you getting me in too?" She wagged a finger at him with a slight tilt of her head. "Nothing illicit... From what a few little birdies have said, thing sound 'very scandalous'. Can you find out why she is avoiding her daughter for me?"
Raylan stood tall at his full height and hummed out a sound that was equal to a chuckle. "Oh, so you are just being nosy?" The woman smiled back at him and glanced towards the entrance of the massage rooms. "I'll see what I can do." Raylan turned to walk towards the stairway that led below the lobby to the massage chambers, glancing over his shoulders back to her as he walked down to his work station.
Raylan entered his usual room deep within the Stark Naked & Starstruck in a room reserved for the relief of tension. He'd taken off his own shirt to standing bare chested along side a floating cloud in a room lit in the dim warm orange twilight. He looked up to the ceiling as his client disrobed, he found the ground inverted as he gazed upon a distant oceanscape. He was no stranger to the buildings illusions, but still found it amazing as the ground emulated the a dusk sky.
After half a chime, he returned his attention to his client who laid on the massage bed which took on the appearance of a cloud. His client was a Konti woman who laid face down, and awaited the massage she'd payed for. From what Raylan could see, she was about one foot shorter than him, which was not tall considering the woman could match an isur in height; slender, and petite in frame. From the way she had slipped out of her clothing to lay bare before him, it was clear that she was not at all modest about her body.
"Hello love, my name is Raylan and I shall be your Masseur today."
He turned to a large bookshelf that lingered near the far wall in the room. It was the only piece of furniture entirely out of place in comparison to the rooms natural illusions. There were several low burning candles that warmed the room on its lowest shelves. And on the middle shelves there were linens of several sizes stacked on top of each other into pyramids. On the uppermost shelves were various supplies from herbs to oils for for Raylan to use provided by his job.
"I must say, you have an incredibly lovely figure..." He hinted with a slight smirk, picking out a medium sized light blue linen from the shelf to cover her bare backside. The woman shifted her head to the side to lay her cheeks against her her arms, watching him with a self confident grin. "I know." He winked back at her while trying his best to remain professional. "Now what bring you to me today? Any pains?". Talking to her as he laid his hands against her back. He began to rub the inner dip of her shoulder blades, working his fingers up to the top of her shoulders. "My neck has been a little tense, but I'm here because the Vela so eloquently talked me into a massage. She has told me that your hands are quite... magical."
Raylan smiled as he stood alongside the could-bed, running his fingers along the sides of her neck in small circles. It might have felt like a massage to the Konti, but Raylan was examining her body. His thumbs pressing down just hard enough to feel her musculature beneath her skin, feeling the way they differed from a human. All races had their own subtle differences when it came to massages, so he started to use his index and middle fingers to rub soft circles to identify the sore spots at the base of her skull and down her spine. He started counting all the vertebrae that made up the column of her spinal cord.
"Hmm.." He mused out curiously, letting his fingertips press against the bone to understand the shape. Then he massaged back up her back, running the palms of his hands along each side of her rib cage, then up her sides to her arm pit. His delicate touches caused the Konti to wiggle and giggle. "Hey, that tickles." She spoke in a half laugh as he slid his hands back down her body. Raylan knew the human anatomy, so started to compare her musculature to a female humans.
"Other than the appearance of scales down the length of her back and most appendages, along with her gills and the musculature near their base to move them, Konti are effectively near human... well, unless I cut her open later to see whats missing.." He paused as he let his eyes wander down her arm, following the scale trail to her elbow. "but, that would be a waste." As his fingers traced against her skin, he kept a mental note of where his fingers were each time she flinched, churned , or just tensed in discomfort.
Running his fingers down her arms, to grip her elbows to see if they flexed and bent on reflex. "You are magnificent." He said with a sultry tone to his voice.
