A bath would be nice, as would some clean clothes. “No.” "Mmmhmm..." He eyed her. "Are you going to bed like that, or would you like to get cleaned up first?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What matters to you? Would you like to sleep dirty? Is that what you prefer? You don't have to walk on eggshells around me. I can take it. I'm a doctor for storm's sake! If you can't tell me things, who else do you have?" He looked earnestly into her face, expression honest and open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did seem to be a doctor and did seem to care about people, but she was…well, her. No one cared about her other than her sister. He was trying to get her to open up, she wouldn’t let him. But a bath was very tempting. “A bath might be…nice.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He smiled at her one last time and left the room, getting the maid to start the bath in the large upstairs bathroom.

Just-A-Stick she/her Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 2 minutes ago, Weaver of Lights said: She opened it. There was a short, older lady standing outside. She had grey hair, was rather plump, and was smiling broadly at her. She seemed to radiate kindness and the quiet, understanding maturity of one who had been through it all but had survived and been healed of all the scars. "Good evening sweet girl, Jacin told me that you requested a bath?" Her voice was slightly creaky, but kind and welcoming all the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You're very welcome, Dearie." Anna led her up the stairs and into a large bathroom. In the center of the room was a huge white claw-foot tub, filled with rose-scented water that steamed gently. A small towel rack stood nearby, bearing several of the most fluffy towels Freya had probably ever seen. There was a soap dish along with a clean cloth and a soft, lemon soap for her use. "I can help you undress or I can leave you to it. Completely up to you, Dearie. I'm ready and willing to help you bathe, but if you'd prefer solitude that's alright too." She was still smiling and seemed perfectly content. Edited April 14 by Just-A-Stick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her voice was gentle and sweet and she smiled warmly at Freya, looking in her eyes only.
