Kikio craned her head at the man's jest of laughter, finding it not amusing. But since he was the Emperor he could have as many concubines as wished - as long as the woman and the family allowed it. On the other hand, her family was strict and lived up to traditions. "As you wish, sir," she said in response to his declaration. The girl started to step back when the Emperor stopped out of the bath, watching his eyes linger down. Now she found that amusing, fighting the urge to follow his gaze.
She turned slowly and grasped the robe that was set aside, tossing it over her arm while she went for the bandages next. Both of her hands were preoccupied as she approached the man, placing her left hand onto the man's arm while the right started to weave the cloth around the wound. Once the wound was securely fastened she folded out the robe, beckoning him to step in.
