Kaurvaki woke up, climbing out of her bed and went to her bathing chamber's. She saw her white bathing dress folded neatly on her dress up table. She clapped loudly, calling her daasi's, she instructed them on which soaps, and hair ointments she needed.

Everything needed for Kaurvaki's bath was set up and the daasi's all exited the chambers. Kaurvaki changed into her bathing dress, as she leaned over the tub's edge to felt how warm the water is, she felt her dress slightly loosening, slowly slipping of her shoulders.

 Ashok happened to be walked by her chambers. He walked in and entered her bathing chambers looking for her. He saw she was getting ready for a bath and that her dress was loose and she was trying to tie her top back laces. Ashok came up behind her and whispered in her ear "May I?" He requested. Kaurvaki recognised it was Ashok's voice and she nodded slightly.

Ashok's hand brushed against Kaurvaki's neck as he moved her hair to the side. Ashok held her laces and pulled inwards lifting Kaurvaki's dress of her shoulders, he tied her laces, he did her back laces without looking as he respected her.

Kaurvaki turned looking at him "thank you!" she said quietly. "No problem!" he replied smiling.
