A shared bath for two?

William lives near East 62nd Street in New York, an upscale and historic area.

The house he lives in, though quite old and full of character, having been renovated along the way, is typically equipped with modern amenities, including a water heater and bathtub.

Alice added some more hot water to the bathtub, which immediately released a faint, pleasant herbal fragrance.

Initially, Alice had thought William's instruction for an herbal bath meant soaking in something dark and smelly. However, these herbs were neatly contained in fabric pouches, preventing them from floating all over the bathtub.

Upon immersing herself, Alice could distinctly feel strands of peculiar energy seeping into her body through her pores.

Now a Soulmancer herself, she was quite sensitive to such energies.

After ten days of consolidation, not only had her physical strength improved, but she also felt her mental strength had become more substantial and profound.
