She then moves to kissing her neck, while her hands slides down from the neck, to the shoulder, to finally cup her.

Without moving her hand she turns to Cynthia, and kisses her on the lips, briefly.

Cynthia nuzzles Sana, while still embracing both her and Sofia. She gently wraps her legs around the two of them, creating a gentle and caring pressure.

They lean into the embrace, and the warmth that comes from shared vulnerability.

They spend... a while in that position, blissed out in the warmth of the water in the pool. "Ahh, that was beyond spectacular! Makes it kind of a tragedy that the world always goes on..."

Cynthia gently and slowly makes her way out of the pool, and begins talking. "Sophia! You were thinking of working as a housekeeper, correct? The way that it works is that each housekeeper tends to live in the same building that they maintain, and they run around and do all the laundry and cleaning and other chores for all the units. So, before I take Sana to the hospital so she can begin bringing love to the people there, I want to introduce you to the current housekeeper so he can show you the ropes and show you around. Could you follow me, please?"

"Sure! But maybe we should dress first?"

"But of course." Cynthia walks off, returning in a poofy black dress with lace trim and elaborate lace cutouts on the back and the chest. "I'm really in the mood for black today."

"It suits you! I'm going to try the clothes we bought earlier.". She stands up, kisses Sana on the head and then goes to change into her new clothes.

"All ready, let's go!"

"Off we go!" Cynthia walks over to the elevator, before it races down to the ground floor. She walks over to a corner on the first floor lobby, opening a door to a room filled with cleaning supplies: mops, paper towels, dusters, a vacuum cleaner, cleaning sprays, buckets, anything you might need for cleaning up an apartment. "I'm not sure where he lives, but he hasn't taken any of the stuff here, so he still hasn't gotten started. It probably won't be long until he gets down, though."

"What is that thing with the wheels on the side?"

"That's a vacuum cleaner. It's a machine that sucks in dust and grime, so it just flies into it instead of you having to clean it up and constantly change cloths. Unbelievably useful."

"That's amazing! Between that and having water directly in your houses I start to see how a single person can work for multiple households!"

"Yup, it's really fantastic." As they're talking, a tall, lanky man walks up to them. "Hi mister! I'm Cynthia, and this is Sophia. She wants to work as this building's housekeeper. Can you show her around and teach her the basics of her job?" The man looks at Sofia.

"Hi Sofia, I'm Henry. I'd be glad to show you around and teach you my job; we've been hoping to find someone to do some housekeeping, what with how many apartments there are."

"And I've been hoping to find houses in need of housekeeping!"

She looks at Cynthia "Should I just... get back to your house when I'm done? How do I do that, by the way?"

"The way that housekeeping works, is that you unlock the door from the outside using your key, and then the housekeeper walks in. The doors then lock themselves automatically, when you walk out. You could end your rounds by cleaning up my house when I unlock my door for housekeeping, although you're 100% going to need a key of your own, eventually."

"I see... how do I get a key of my own?"

"It's a quick trip down to the locksmith, to make a copy of the key to my apartment, after I've officially made it my property. Nobody else is allowed to make a copy of my key, as you might expect."

"How does that work? How do they know if they key to copy is yours?"

"I tell them where I live, and they can check who bought that home most recently, which lets them know whose bank account is the one that owns a particular home. I am the only person able to send money from my account, so I send them the money to make that key, and they know that it's my property because it's registered to my bank account."

"I see..."

"I don't have a bank account, though."

"That's correct, so you'll have to trust me to care for your money until you get one. Hopefully that's fine for you?"

"Yes. I trust my mistress, and she seems to trust you, so it's fine."

"So, Henry, how about you start showing Sofia around? She's done this before, but using a vacuum like that, and probably some of the other equipment, will be new for her."

The door opens to an apartment which is very similar to the one Cynthia had before.

"Where do we start from?"
