After an hour of... negotiations. The owner of the Water Pump decided not to call the guards on me after his payment. But he did make it clear that if I sneak into the pool again without paying he'll shove the business end of his hammer up my ass. And not the fun one. He was glad that I at least washed before taking a dip.
Alastor was actually able to act as the voice of reason between us and make a point that having a dirty regular customer is good for a bath house business. So no more price gauging. Though I get the feeling I might need to butter him up later to keep it.
He even let me clean up before I left. Which was great cause I've had enough BS for one night.
A: "Guess that means we left a good impression on him, huh?"
G: "It means he's looking for another shot of me later in exchange for a bath. Not really interested in that part, but I'm calling it a win."
A: "Sounds like fun. Anyway, you know a place where I can set up for the night?"
Well I suppose I do owe the guy something, he probably doesn't know anywhere to go since he just got here. I know a few places where he can stay, but where I send him is going to set the standard between the two of us.
So where do I send him?
A: "You sure do like having other people make decisions for you, huh?"
Shut up.
