As you looked down at the schedule in your hands, which you'd picked up from the front desk prior to coming in here, you glanced at the list of activities available to Celestia. In truth, there were plenty of things to offer her to start with. Manicures, a stay at the sauna, relaxing in the hot tub, and many others. As per the service, it was the customer that got to choose which order she received it, and so you chose to simply show her the list in your hands. Taking it from you, your Principal looks down the paper carefully. After a few moments, a small smile appears on her face as she hands it back to you.

"I think I'll start with the sauna."

Nodding at her, you take the list back from her before gesturing for her to follow you, which she promptly does. It didn't take long for you to arrive at your destination, a larger-than-normal door surrounded by wooden panelling. The spa's sauna was, perhaps, one of the more popular services here, though why, you'd never known. After all, staying cooped up in a room with unbearable heat levels wasn't exactly your cup of tea, even if the sweating was supposedly good for you. Even so, the customer demanded it, and so they shall have it. Turning, you open the door and gesture inside, to which Celestia nodded in response.

Walking inside, she looked around at the place. It was already pretty warm in here from it's use earlier in the day from a previous customer, though that temperature would soon go up in a big way. Entering the room yourself, you walk over to the main source of heat for this sauna, a pile of stones near the corner of the room. Turning to face you, Celestia watched as you lean over to the pile of stones, gazing upon a bucket nearby. The bucket in question was filled with water and had a ladle-like tool within it, presumably for pouring more water over the stones to produce steam. There was also an electric fire of sorts beneath the stones, which you promptly adjusted to get the heat back up. Satisfied that all was well, you turned to look at her and gave a short nod.

"Well, everything appears to be in order. Let me know when you want to come out."

Celestia gave a nod at that and you began to make our way out. However, before you stepped out of the door, the sound of her clearing her throat caught your attention, and you turned to look at her again. Looking a little embarrassed, she spoke.

"Um...would it be alright if I had this treatment...without this?"

She gestured to the bathrobe she was wearing, and immediately you understood, albeit with a slight blush appearing on your face. Nodding, you turned around so as to make sure she had no audience to this, though you could still make out the unmistakeable sounds of someone disrobing behind you. Movement to your left catches your eye, and you turn your head slightly to see that it is a bare, outstretched arm, which was holding a now-disused bathrobe. Keeping your eye on the robe, you take it from her and look away fully before making your way out, closing the door behind you.

You didn't blame Celestia for not wearing that thing inside the sauna. While you hadn’t experienced it yourself, you had heard stories of past customers who had chosen to wear quite a bit in those things and almost collapsing from the heat as a result. And the last thing you wanted during all this was an unconscious Principal on top of everything else. Still, you focus instead on the robe in your hand, and so place it carefully on a nearby hook on the wall. Although one watching this scene might assume that Celestia was now unclothed in that Sauna, you knew the spa provided swimsuits for it's customers to wear underneath, specifically for those uncomfortable in going nude during these services. And while you'd made sure not to look, you at least hoped that Celestia had taken such a suit for herself.

It is in this moment that a sudden sound from behind catches your attention, an almost hissing sound. You recognise it immediately as the sound made by the stones once water was being poured on them. It seems then that your Principal was wasting no time in making more steam for herself in there. Knowing that this service was perhaps the one that required the least activity from you, you take this moment to lean against a nearby wall, using this quiet moment to ponder your situation. Working at this spa was not without it's rewards. After all, both your employers and customers had been nothing but friendly to you, as well as appreciative.

However, for someone of your age, there were times when you'd found your work here difficult. First and foremost was just how intimate you got with your mostly-female clientele through those services. Now, in fairness, you'd never overstepped your boundaries in this regard, nor were you willing to risk the consequences of doing so, if only because it would mean a swift loss of your job here. But even so, you often felt that you couldn't help but think how fortunate you were to get even this close to them. Celestia being here was, perhaps, an even more difficult situation in that regard than normal, and that was saying something.

Now, it wasn't as if you found her to be an unattractive woman. On the contrary, both you and several of your classmates back at Canterlot High had remarked in the past of just how attractive you thought she was. In fact, you were fairly certain that both you and a good chunk of the student population had experienced more than a few passing fantasies about her. But the fact that you knew her is what made this difficult. It would be the first time you'd given services to someone who actually knew you, that you met on a regular basis. Now, you'd said to Celestia that you were going to be professional about all this, and you were planning on keeping your word on that, but even so, this meeting of what you did for a living with those you knew personally was, as one might expect, a challenge.

So, trying your best to focus on other matters, you instead listen carefully to the sounds around you as you wait for Celestia to finish. There wasn't much to do while she was in there, so just waiting out here in the hallways was your only option. You listen carefully, perhaps nervous that some new, last-minute customer might come in through the front door, letting off that bell. But nothing came. It was a relief, to say the least. The only sounds at this point was that of yet more steam being made from within the sauna as your Principal continued to pour water on the stones every once in a while. Things went on like this for a long time, as your eyes glanced upwards at the nearby clock on the wall. Eventually, things reached a point where you were practically counting the "ticks" and the "tocks".

However, after the better part of half an hour, your attention was diverted to the sauna itself, as the loud creak of the door could now be heard. Turning, you saw a copious amount of steam leave the opening in the door, obstructing your view of what was within. As you strained your eyes to see, you heard Celestia's voice.

"I think that's enough steam for one day."

Her tone was a jovial one, and you couldn't help but afford yourself a small smile at it. Stepping forward, you begin to approach the door to greet her, only to be struck with the realisation that her bathrobe was still on it's hook. Swiftly, you grab it and hand it to the mass of steam before you, where a familiar hand reached out and took it from you. After a few moments, you watched as Celestia emerged from the steam, fully robed as before, and wiping a great deal of sweat off her brow. Taking a deep breath of the relatively cool air of the outside of the sauna, Celestia let out a sigh before placing her hands on her hips.

"So then. Which way is the hot tub?"
