Vanadium was uncharacteristically nervous as she entered the massage-therapy room within her salon. She had a big new client— both figuratively and literally.

Iron was lying face-down on the (fully-extended) massage table. Only her waist was covered. Look at that long back and those broad shoulders, Vanadium thought. It's a good thing Zinc and Nickel talked her into an extended session.

"Please try to relax and enjoy yourself," Vanadium said as she applied oil to her hands. "I'll start with your shoulders."

"Alright," Iron said.

Vanadium did a first tentative glide and paused. "You NEEDED this, hon," she said. "I've never felt so much tension."

"Mmm," Iron agreed reluctantly.

"We have to loosen these knots in your muscles. This might pinch at first, but then it should feel REALLY good. Take a deep breath for me? Aaaaaand here we go."

Iron grimaced. And then, to her embarrassment, she involuntarily let out a deep shuddering moan.

"Please don't worry about that," Vanadium said reassuringly. "You would not believe some of the sounds I've heard in here."

"Thank you," Iron said. "I must say that I haven't made a sound like that in YEARS."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Vanadium said sincerely.
