Nara

Nuru needs water, warmth and somewhere to put everything afterwards, and an afternoon room has usually just had all three seen to. She brings what the format needs rather than assuming a hotel will have it lying about. Twenty-three, starting from the centre, and she keeps her bookings inside daylight hours by choice rather than by circumstance. Lithuanian and English are both available. What a session takes in is decided by her, said out loud early, and left alone after that.

Nara decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.
