“Y-you’re sure?” Laura asked softly, wrapping her arms around him a little tighter. She was still sniffling, pulling back to look at him.
“I-I don’t want you to be upset with me…”

"I'm sure," Ash said softly. He moved his hands down to Laura's back, holding her gently to himself.
"I'm not upset with you, and I'm not going to be."

Laura nodded weakly, doing her best to swallow down the tears. She gave him a soft look, rubbing at her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry… I-" She grew quiet, trying to breath properly. "I don't even… I dunno why I'm crying anymore…"

"You don't need to know," Ash said gently. He reached up to cup Laura's cheek, offering an assuring look.
"But what I can tell you is I'll always be here for you when you need to be.

Laura hiccuped a bit, nodding softly.
"Y-yes sir… t-thank you… I'm sorry for doing this, again…" She mumbled, flicking her gaze off of him.

Ash brushed the hair out of Laura's face, running his fingers through her hair.
"You're welcome, Laura… And it's okay. You didn't do anything wrong…"

Laura leaned into the touch, seeming to relax a little. Slowly she let her thoughts sink in, realizing how silly she was being about this. He had already told her they had stuff around the house she could use. No one else was going to mind it.
"Maybe not… but I feel incredibly silly about it…"

"I see…" he offered Laura a kind look. "And that's okay too." He lightly patted Laura's back.

Laura gave a soft smile, before wrapping her arms around him once more.
"Thank you sir… for everything…" She mumbled once again.

"You're welcome…" Ash smiled gently, holding Laura close. He rested his head on hers.

Laura sighed weakly, starting to pull away after a couple minutes.
"I-I think I'm okay now…" She mumbled, flicking her gaze down to the floor.

Ash looked at Laura carefully, reaching up to her head again.
"Okay then…" He offered Laura a gentle smile, touch light.

"I-I promise not to melt down again, if… if we want to find something to hold my hair back…" Laura mumbled, knowing she sounded a little ridiculous. As she spoke, she leaned in to his gentle touch, smiling softly.

Ash ran his fingers through Laura's hair.
"It's okay, Laura. If you don't feel like you can handle it right now, it's okay."

Laura looked up at him, seeming to relax further as he played with her hair.
"I-I can handle it… I promise." She insisted, her voice soft as she whispered to him.

Ash nodded a bit. He stood, holding Laura close.
"If you feel like you can't, you can tell me at any time."

Laura nodded in return, arms wrapped around his neck once again.
"Yes sir." She hummed, curling up close to him. She did it, mostly because she liked being held by him.

Ash offered a gentle smile, holding Laura close. He picked up the dishes as well, planning on dropping them off on the way to get the headband.

Laura kept close, nosing against him.
"Thank you, sir…" She mumbled as she buried her face in his shoulder.

"You're welcome…" Ash smiled a bit. He held Laura close as made his way down the hall, and he set the dishes in the kitchen, which had calmed down considerably.

Laura only occasionally glanced up, trying to figure out where they were. She gave a weak smile to a couple people she recognized, before burying her face back into his shoulder.
“Where are we gonna a headband?” Laura asked softly, still curling up closer.

"Well, we're going to head to the living room. There's a storage closet in it, and it'll have some." Some people smiled back at Laura, but everyone have her and Ash their space.

Laura nodded a little, resting up against him. The smiles she received definitely put her at ease, feeling more relaxed at knowing nobody was going to force her to talk to them.
“Alright, sir.” She mumbled, nuzzling up against his shoulder.

Ash patted Laura's back gently, starting off to the living room. He hummed faintly, holding Laura close.
"Are there any colors you like?"

Laura lifted her head when talked to, pursing her lips in thought.
"Umm… I like red? But I'm fine with whatever." She offered, tucking her hair back out of her face.
