Yubaba closed her eyes and sighed as she crossed her arms. "Well, I guess I can put you two somewhere at work here." she narrowed her eyes once again and looked very serious. "But you better not mess up things. Settle your work position downstairs." she said and pointed with her big, wrinkly and ring decorated finger, towards the exit of her office. Belle was glad, as it went smoother than she thought. As the two exited the chamber they made their way towards the elevator.

"Well, that could have gone a lot worse." Belle let out a big sigh of relief followed by a big grin. "By the way, didn't you say earlier that Joshua was close? I understand that he is looking around in the place, but did he also end up in Yubaba's office?" she asked Amaya as she could easily sense the presence of the boy.

As Thomas entered the bathhouse he could go various ways. The first three levels of the building were visible. At the first level were the bathing areas, the second level provided food for the customers and could be reached with the stairs as well. The third level also could be reached with the stairs and the following levels required the elevator to be used.

A young little girl with brown hair, wearing a pink uniform saw Thomas in the distance. Seeing as it was still day, the girl wondered what he was doing here. She ran towards Thomas. "S-sorry sir. But the bathhouse is still closed... or do you have an appointment with Yubaba?" she asked trying to do her job correctly.
