It was odd to be lifted so easily by someone who seemed so small. Or would have been small in comparison, but what wasnʼt weird these days? It was easier though, than she expected, to allow herself to be carried, though perhaps everything was easier to accept when in her current mental state. Shuffling away the knowledge about Harperʼs family make-up, she had so many questions. Big family or no, to have so many different beings in her background, she could not understand. Mental images of demon/wolf children had her frowning at the logistics of the thing, though before her mind could truly fall down that puzzling hole, Harper was speaking again, and then they were off.
Zipping through some blocks sheʼd seen before on her way in, though quickly turning down streets she had not, she smiled. It was a bit like flying, this whole running business, though perhaps too low to the ground for her taste. Keeping track of every turn the wolf took, once Harper finally stopped in front of what must be their destination Valdrá felt confident she could find her way back where they started if necessary. Why she would need to get back to the docks of all places, was not the point. The fact was she could and that gave her a small but important sense of self sufficiency, one she sorely needed.
Eyeing the house though, Valdrá frowned again. Three years of forced observation of humans had taught her a great deal about human social hierarchy, and while Harper was decidedly not human, one might not immediately tell as much based on the city itself. The house, at least on the surface, looked like a house a human would live in, and more than that, a human with money. That alone made her uneasy, though she kept the thought to herself.
Sliding down onto the cool floor with her bare feet as they entered, she tensed as Harper called out, only slightly relaxing when no one responded. Instead, she followed Harper, first to the kitchen and then up the stairs, eyes noting as much as she could feasibly take in without stopping, only once pausing to look at the larger group photo before continuing on, hurrying to follow Harper to her room. For how long sheʼd spent inside a house, sheʼd never really been able to wander around one, freely. Not that she could wander entirely freely now, but still, it was fascinating.
Stepping into Harperʼs bedroom she flashed a small smile. In here was some colour at least. Taking the offered clothing, she merely nodded as Harper explained the bathroom, though whether she actually understood what the other woman was trying to explain was hard to say. And then she was alone.
___________________________________________________
It was an hour and forty-five minutes later that Valdrá found herself wandering back into the kitchen, hair damp, and sweatpants cinched to her waist, but finally clean, the tattoo across her face more prominent now that she wasnʼt covered in dirt and dried blood. It had taken time to figure out how to get the water started, and of course time to look herself over properly and in private. More time still to figure out what was meant by ʼbath bombʼ though she was fairly certain after the disaster with the bubbles sheʼd mopped up most of the water. Of course, the majority of her effort had been spent just….laying, and so as she tiptoed barefoot into the kitchen, she might have looked exhausted still, but at least she no longer looked near death.
“Thank you for letting me use your bombs.”
