"Okay." Tyler scooped up the small boy bridal-style. "Oh yeah, do you have a name," Tyler asked as he started walking. "I want to know what to call you."

Malachi's eyes widened as he was suddenly moved from the ground, but seemed to attempt to relax as he was carried to the other's home. Hearing the question, the boy looked up into Tyler's gentle blue eyes. It was strange how he wasn't scared of a half breed like himself. After a few seconds, he gave his reply.
"My name… is Malachi," he said, managing not to stutter.

"Well, sir Malachai," Tyler said, a small blush highlighting Tyler's freckles at the boy's cute voice. "I'm Tyler. My house is just through here." After maybe twenty more yards, the boys approached a small ranch house that looked like something out of a Hallmark film. They walked past the entryway into the living room where Tyler set Malachai on the dusty blue couch. "I'm gonna run you a nice warm bath. Do you want regular bubbles or the kind with the Warm Vanilla Sugar scent? I can bring them out if you'd like."

The small boy felt confused seeing the man blush. All Malachi had done was say his name. Seeing the home, he felt amazed. His old home had been quite small in comparison. The inside was nicer than he could have ever predicted. Nicely arranged furniture, a cozy feel in the room, and the bathroom was probably just as nice. The couch beneath him felt so good beneath him as well. "Um. You can pick," Malachi said simply. He didn't know there was such thing as vanilla sugar and didn't know what was better.

"Alright!" Tyler trotted off to the bathroom and ran the bath. He chose the Warm Vanilla Sugar bubbles. Once the bath was done, Tyler came back to get Malachai. "Okay, can you walk? I know I carried you here, but I want you to be able to undress and take your bath without me hovering over."

(There's just 1 a in Malachi's name)
The boy stared up at Tyler for a moment before nodding. A small wave of vertigo washed over him at first, making him sway, but it lasted only a moment. Offering the man a weak smile, Malachi walked towards to the bathroom. Entering, the boy could already smell a sweet vanilla scent. Standing in the doorway, Malachi looked back at Tyler.

(sorry, my alter spells it malachai so i have to be concious!!)
"So, I left a basket of bath toys next to the tub, along with a rag, and there's a towel on the door. I'll get a warm, dry pair of clothes for when you're done. Call my name, Tyler, if you need anything, okay?" Tyler went over his mental checklist, thinking if there was anything else the boy should know. "Oh! If you're more comfy with the door locked, there's a little twisty thing-" Tyler pointed it out. "Right there. Sound good?"
