Log;
Greed had already prepared the area ahead of time. A fine black cloth was spread out in a small, secluded glade on a hilly area of the gardens. Tall, flower-adorned hedges surrounded the picnic area in all but one section and a young willow tree created the canopy overhead. After setting out some plates, cups, utensils, and refreshments, he allowed Peony to enter.

"So? What do you think? It's not exactly royal accomodations, but at least the weather's nice."

They arrived on the front steps of the temple ten minutes later, after which Greed opened the oversize front doors to show him in.

"You can set your shoes by the front here if ya' like."

Greed removed his own shoes and coat, then led the way down the hall. Several corridors were passed until there was a glass sliding door in front of them. The sides were the entranceways to two tiled rooms.

"Feel free to change into a towel in one of those rooms," he said, pointing. He himself stripped down on the spot, setting his clothing into a corner and wrapping the towel around his waist.

"I'll have refreshments out here too," he reassured.

Slipping his shoes off Peony paid the towels and the change rooms no heed. Surprised or not he really had no shame in his body, never had any shame in his body. His shirt was removed and carelessly tossed aside, pants unlaced and removed. He gathered his hair into a small ponytail so that it wouldn’t get in the way, leaving just the strand adorned with the blue bead framing his face.

Peony might have had some slightly more effeminate features for his face but he wasn’t a slight man. Tall, well built, once the clothes were off there was no doubt of his masculinity. Sinking into the water he sighed softly, “It’s been a while…” He so should have joined Luke and his companions when he’d given them the spa pass.

Greed opened a small ice-chest of cold drinks and set them by the side of the first pool, where Peony was. He inhaled a deep lung-full of steam and sat in the water, sinking down beside the emperor.

"It's a nice place. Can't say I have any complaints. It's spacious, gets fresh supplies delivered, and is fairly secluded. Strange thing is, for a temple it doesn't have any monks. Guess it's a quirk of the city. The damned place was empty, but perfectly clean and ordered when I found it.

"Thank you," Peony murmured sedately, relaxing in the hot water. It'd be nice to come here with Jade, perhaps Gaillardia and Luke as well. Oh he would have paid to see their visit to the spa after he'd given them the spa pass, and not just to get a good look at Tear and Natalia. Amusement tended to follow quick on their heels he found. Though if it was just Jade that meant they could indulge in other pleasures as well... Still this was an enlightening visit, interesting at the very least.

"Hm...not so strange in this city I think. Certainly I haven't noticed many priests despite the Cathedral and I'm sure the angels didn't come with it. So you took it upon yourself to make use of this place, good choice. Very nice and I'm sure an excellent excuse to have your dates strip down to nothing."

Greed listened to Peony's words and nodded a few times, scratching his chin.

"Yeah, plus a nice source of money during open hours," he said, stretching out, "So, your highness, how about a back rub? I promise I'm very good at it."

Greed grinned widely, practically bouncing around in his seat at the opportunity to touch Peony's skin.

"What could it hurt? You could even have a nice, cool drink while I work."

Peony gave Greed an answering smirk. It was expected of course, Greed had included that in their little date plan, part of the deal you might say. "Very well, you have my royal permission." He sat up slightly, cocking his head slightly in question. "How should I...ah, position myself to make this most convenient for you?" Peony wasn't submissive, not by any stretch but he was most definitely a tease.

"Just turn your back to me," he said, "Your sitting position is fine."

Greed moved up close to him and placed his hands on the blond male's shoulders, giving a tentative squeeze. Fingers that could crush solid marble crawled across human flesh and bone, tracing the contours of his muscles.

"Lemme know if I'm bein' to rough, okay?" he whispered to his date, showing actual concern, "I sometimes forget my strength."
