Leo nodded and stood up, offering his hand for Elijah to take, “Perfect.” He smiled softly, “Do you need any help getting it started or do you want me to do it?” He asked, knowing how difficult it might be for him.

Elijah excepted his hand and stood up. He shook his head at the offer. He had baths before. It couldn't be that hard right? "I'll be okay." He voice croaked from all the crying and hysteria.

Leo looked unconvinced but nodded anyway, “Okay. I’ll be out here so just call for me if you need anything. I’ll find some clothes and bring them too you, as well as a towel.” He led Elijah down the hall and into the bathroom. It was nice an tidy, only the bare essentials layer out. The bath was in one corner with a shower head over the top. Leo pointed to one set of taps, “Those turn the tap on, left is cold, right is hot water.”

Elijah nodded to him. He closed the door once Leo left with a sigh. How hard could it be? Just turn the nozzle things. Apparently it was very hard because suddenly it started raining inside! He strained and tried to get away but ended up slipping on the way floor.

(All good)

Leo came back with a pair of sweatpants, a plain T-shirt and a towel. He knocked before stepping in, "I've brought you som-" He stopped when he saw the scene and quickly rushed to turn off the taps, "You alright?" He asked, placing the clothes on the sink before couching down next to Elijah.

Elijah was backed up against the cabinets under the sinks. His chest was hevaing as he stared at the rain that wasnt rain. "W-what was that? How is it raining? There's no hole in the ceiling."

Leo chuckled, "It was the shower head, you turned on the wrong tap." He shuffled over to the bath and put the plug in the drain. He then turned on the hot water and instead of coming out the shower, it came out the other tap.

Elijah shuffled over to watch what Leo was doing. He watched in amazement as water began coming out of a different nozzle. "Where does the water come from?"

“The pipes.” Leo explained briefly. He put some cold water into the bath and then some bubbles.

Elijah just lokked at him with a confused expression but didn't say anything further. He stood up amd started stripped, which took a little time with all the straps amd strings he had to undo. He wasn't ashamed of nudity. He was used to stripping in from of people, his servamts.

Leo blushed a deep red when Elijah was undressed and he kept his gaze down on his knees. He cleared his throat and turned the taps off, standing, “U-Um, there’s clothes o-over there you can wear. I-I’ll be in the living room if you need me.” He cursed the stutter and quickly left the bathroom.

Elijah didn't have tike to thank him, Leo had left too quickly. He submerged himself into the tub. He wasn't sure what the bottles all meant but he knew what the bar of soap was and cleaned himself with that. He got out as he finished and toweled off. He pulled on the clothes. There were a bit small but not uncomfortable. They were strange clothing. He stepped out of the "bathroom" amd into the main foyer where he remebered there was a couch. He wasn't sure what to do next.

Leo was sitting on the ground in front of the coffee table, his cheeks still pink but not as red as before. He had a pair of black glasses on now, some of his hair was falling in front of his face and was looking at a bunch of leaflets that were scatted around before him. He didn’t see nor hear when Elijah came back.

Elijah walked up to him. He was confused on what was on his face. It looked almost like tiny, clear boxes. He wasn't sure what they were. We're they some sort of torture device or other? "What's on your face?" He askes.

Leo looked up and his face reddened considerably, “They’re glasses. They help me to see when I’m reading.” He explained, shrugging before tuning back to the leaflets.

Elijah sat next to hik on the floor and grabbed his glasses, inspecting them. "But why?" He tried copieng the way Leo had them on and took them off as soon as everything magnified.

Leo stifled a giggle and put them back on his face, “My eyes are weird. They strain when I’m reading or looking at things up close and I can’t see. These help me so everything isn’t blurry.” He explained, smiling.

Elijah pretended to understand and nodded. "Well what are you looking at?" He glanced diwn at whatever was on the table.

“Food places. I can’t be bothered cooking so I figured we could order. What do you like and what don’t you like to eat?” He asked, biting his lip. He knew these places wouldn’t have exactly what Elijah liked but he could find something similar.

Elijah bit his lip. "You shoild probably just pick. Unless you know a plave that makes good deer meat or pheasant."

“Probably,” Leo picked up his phone and called a number for some curry. If he liked pheasant then he’d probably like chicken. He placed an order for two curries with a portion of rice for delivery.

Elijah looked at the small amd skinny brick in his hand. What was hebdoing with it and why was he speakibg to it? As soon as Leo put it down he pick it up. He tossed it when it lit up, scaring him.

Leo sighed softly, reaching over to pick his phone up, “Its not gonna hurt you, Elijah.” He said gently. He knew he had loads to explain and he had to be patient.

Elijah still looked at the small brick with hesitancy. He didn't trust it. He pulles his knees up to his chest, hugging them. He was never going to understand this world.
