Astra Threatens Fred

"I do," Fred said.

"Even though I assure you that I shan't lose control at the sight of your naked body and throw myself on you in a fit of passion? Tell me one thing, Fred. How long is it since you last had a bath?"

"The last time was the morning of the day when I left Caemlyn at the start of my quest," Fred responded.

"It must have taken you the best part of a week to reach the Shreken. You can add to that several hours spent within the caves. Time enough to get very dirty and very sweaty. Lord Fred, not to put too fine a point on it, I'm afraid that you stink! I couldn't smell you before I bathed, when no doubt I was just as malodorous as you, but now I'm clean I can. So either you get undressed right now, or I'll push you in and you can bathe fully clothed."

1. Fred reluctantly gives way. After all wrestling with a naked woman would be unthinkable.
2. Fred is adamant.
3. "Would it help if I had my bath first?" Francis asked.
