"Oh, red will look really good on you," Ash commented, smiling gently. He came into the living room, were very few people were sitting. One of them was the lady from the laundry room, the owner.

Laura grew quiet at the sight of the other people, but kept herself from cowering away. She glanced over to Mr. Ash, giving a small smile at the compliment. But she gave no further comments, trying not to draw any more attention to herself.

A few people glanced at them, some offering smiles. Ash carried Laura to the closet, opening it up. It was a walk in, so Ash stepped in. He pulled it a book, revealing a ton of brand new hair accessories.

Laura offered a little smile to the few people, before focusing on Mr. Ash. She kept as close as she could, without curling up against him. When the accessories were shown, she blinked in a bit of surprise.
"Why is there so many?" She asked softly, looking over the different items.

"Well, it's easier than going out to buy some wherever someone needs new ones. You'd be surprised how many we go through." Ash chuckled softly. Ash moved through the items, pulling out a few red headbands.

Laura perked up a little, looking through the ones in his hands.
"That makes sense… there is a lot of people that live here." She hummed softly, reaching out for a simple, bright red one. She ran her thumb over the shiny material, looking it over in her hands.

Ash looked at the headband Laura had chosen.
"Do you want to try it on? I could get a mirror so you can see it."

"Umm… yes, please." Laura replied softly, feeling her cheeks grow pink. She continued to study the band, tracing the edge with her thumb.
"If it's not a big deal, I mean." She whispered as she carefully placed it on her head to hold her hair back.

Ash watched, smiling gently. He moved into the closet a bit more, pulling out a hand mirror and holding it for Laura to look.
"You look amazing!"

Laura's face grew redder as she flicked her gaze off the mirror.
"Mmm… I-I don't think amazing would be…" She trailed off, mumbling a little. But she had a small smile on her face, despite the flush.

Ash shook his head a bit.
"It's exactly the right word. See? It looks amazing on you, and it serves a purpose too." He smiled gently, rubbing Laura's back a bit.

Laura's face continued to redden, so she buried it in his shoulder.
"A-alright, sir… if you say so." She mumbled, trying not to let the funny feeling in her stomach get to her.

Ash chuckled a bit. He set the mirror down, holding the young girl close to himself.
"I really do. And I believe it too." He smiled softly.

Laura nodded weakly, her face still quite red. She kept her face hidden, trying to relax in his arms.
"T-thank you, sir. But you… you don't have to say that."

"I don't," Ash agreed gently. "But I want to." Ash rubbed Laura's back, holding her close.

Laura sighed softly, nodding a little as she leaned into him.
"A-alright sir…" She mumbled weakly, pulling back with rosy cheeks.

Ash smiled, staying in the closet for now while Laura was still blushing.
"Do you want any more?"

"I- um… I don't need anymore, sir." Laura responded softly, playing with the tips of her hair.
"Right? Or… or do you think I'll need more?"

"You can have as many as you want. And if that's just one, that's okay!" Ash hummed faintly, smiling.

"Um, one… one is fine for now. I'll be alright with it." Laura told him softly, her face starting to go back to normal. Though a little colored remained on her cheeks, making her look more lively than she had all day.

"Okay! Do you want to head back to your room, or do you want to do something else?" Ash hummed, bringing them out of the closet and closing the door behind them.

Laura glanced over to the others, before focusing on Mr. Ash fully.
"I… um, I don't really care…" She offered in a soft tone, starting to play with the folds in his shirt once more.

Ash started off, having back to Laura's room.
"Okay then!" He gave a gentle look.

Laura watched the people starting to disappear, giving a slight wave when they were almost out of the room. She sucked in a deep breath, starting to relax as they left.
"What are we gonna do, sir?"

The last who owned the place looked up, waving back a bit with a gentle smile before they left the room.
"Well, we could play some games together."
