"Oh, how I have missed you, Pullo! Now, there is somewhere else I wish to take you."

He smiles and I take his hand, leading him from the baths to my home in the hetarae quarter. As we enter my home, a slave is already setting out a tray of delicacies. I am sure Pullo is quite famished after his journey and well, our adventures at the baths. Pullo looks at me. I smile and show him to a nearby couch where he may make himself comfortable. He does just that and reaches up to give my tush a squeeze.

"There will be more time for that after you've regained your strength," I say with a laugh. "I will pour us some wine. I think you will enjoy it."
