Jaden nodded and turned around, having calmed down now.
"Right." he said.
"Clearly you shouldn't be putting your clothes back on as they are right now." he reasoned.
"For now, you can wear that bathrobe." he went on.
"But, as I said, I also have some clothes that would fit you, albeit be a little big. Shirts-wise, anyway." he continued.
"However, you mentioned you wanted to cook earlier." he then said.
"Does that still hold true?" he asked.
"Or do you think it might be better to order in? Even if just for tonight?" he asked further.

Desiree paused a moment before sighing.
"I fear I might break something by dropping it if I were to try and cook." she admitted.
"I think now that I'm safe, now that I don't need to ekep running from Deryck, my body is letting me feel the pain." She added.
"Also, do you happen to have anything that could work for pyjamas?"
Jaden nodded.
"I understand." he replied.
"I'll order in something to eat." he told her.
"And pyjamas?" he then asked.
"Yeah, I do." he told her.
"I should have a few pairs." he said with a smile.
"You want to take your pick after you dry off?" he asked her.
"I understand." he replied.
"I'll order in something to eat." he told her.
"And pyjamas?" he then asked.
"Yeah, I do." he told her.
"I should have a few pairs." he said with a smile.
"You want to take your pick after you dry off?" he asked her.
Desiree just shook he rhead.
'Would you mind just bringing me a pair?" She asked.
"Even if they are a bit big, since you're taller than I am, it shouldn't be an issue." She added after a moment.
"All right." Jaden nodded.
He then left to grab the PJ's, and was gone for only about 3 minutes or so, before he returned with a pair of sleeping pants, and a sleeping shirt. They appeared to be a deep blue, with a cosmic pattern on them... stars, planets, space dust, that sort of thing.
"Here you are." he told her, handed them to her.
When she accepted them, she immediately felt how soft and silky they were.
Probably because they were made of silk.

'Ohhh, wow." Desiree said after a moment.
"I... figured they'd be nice, but I hadn't expected this nice." She commented after a moment before holding the shirt up to see if her breasts would fit without issue. She found there would be no issue, which was good. Her cup size was only a C, so she wasn't that surprised.
"Are you sure about this?" She asked.
"these... are obviously not cheap..."
"Bah." Jaden replied, waving his hand dismissively.
"It's nothing." he told her.
"I have several pairs." he said.
"So feel free to use those." he said further.
"Oh, and I also prepared the spare room here so you could actually... you know... sleep in it." he continued.
"There's some clothes on the bed." he went on.
"You know... just so you have more than one set of clothes now."
"It's nothing." he told her.
"I have several pairs." he said.

"You know... just so you have more than one set of clothes now."
Desiree was silent for a moment before nodding.
"Thank you, Jaden." She said.
"Just... thank you." she added. "I'm not used to people extending themselves like this, when I barely know them... and I don't give many people a chance, usually. So... thank you."
"Well, I thank you, and am honoured, for this rare chance." Jaden responded.
"As far as extending myself like this, you're very welcome, and it's all right." he said.
"Seriously. You're a friend of Kalin's, and a friend of Kalin's is a friend of mine." he went on. "....for the most part..." he then muttered.
"There was that one mage that just... well, she really didn't like me because of something someone did to her years ago. Seems I was a convenient repository for her ire." he said.
"Anyway!" he went on, clearing his throat.
"What do you feel like eating?" he asked.
"Anything in specific?"
"As far as extending myself like this, you're very welcome, and it's all right." he said.

"What do you feel like eating?" he asked.
"Anything in specific?"
"Huh? Oh... seafood." Desiree answered.
"Anaphylaxis." She then added after a moment, knowing it would be enough information for him. She knew he was smart, after all.
"So stay away from crustaceans - specifically. I'm ok with fish... just not shelled things." She added before pausing.
'Pizza and pasta tend to be safe bets. But I'm game for anything, really."
"Hmmmmm..." Jaden muttered.
"Duly noted." he said.
"I'll get to ordering." he told her.
"You take your time drying off and such." he continued.
He then smiled and nodded, before heading out, leaving her to get what she needed to get done, done.
"Duly noted." he said.

Desiree sighed, not entirely sure what to make of this, but also not really caring to try. It seemed that Jaden was legit, and not someone who was actually out to get her.
It was a treat, she felt.
If only just because of the fact that she wasn't sure how to act around new people.
After a few seconds she stepped up to the mirrors and sighed before moving her hair off her face. She looked herself in the eyes, specifically the one crystal clear blue one she had, and just stayed like that for a few seconds.
". . . tht might pose a problem though." She muttered, looking over her face.
"He won't take it well.... and I know that." She didn't linger there for longer than another minute before finishing drying off and getting dressed in the PJ's that she'd been given to wear. Once dressed, she made her way out of the bathroom and to where Jaden was.
She found Jaden in the den, sitting on the couch.
He looked over towards her, smiled, and waved.
"Hey." he said.
"I ordered food. Should be here soon." he told her.
"And those look good on you." he then said further.
"How do they feel?" he asked.
He looked over towards her, smiled, and waved.
"Hey." he said.
"I ordered food. Should be here soon." he told her.
"And those look good on you." he then said further.
"How do they feel?" he asked.
"They're really soft and comfy." Desiree sai with a light laugh.
"I'm willing to bet that you knew that already though." She added.
"I left my clothes in a corner in the bathroom though." She paused a moment.
"I have a performance in a week... Hopefully I'll get enough for some clothes, at the very least."
"I can always help, if need be." Jaden replied.
"Regardless... food should be here soon, as I said." he went on.
"You wanna watch TV or a movie or anything?" he asked her.
"I got plenty to choose from." he said.
"Oh, and I'll get your clothes done overnight." he then told her.
"The washer and dryer are whisper quiet, so it can be done during the night."

"The washer and dryer are whisper quiet, so it can be done during the night."
"I..." Desiree started before just letting out a breath.
"Thank you." She then said.
"I'll repay your kindness as soon as I can." She added before holding ahand up as he was going to say something.
'I'm not going to let you refuse, either."
"......" Jaden was silent as he heard that, and then sighed.
"Very well." he said.
"I won't waste my breath arguing." he told her.
It was at that point, Desiree felt an immense and sudden mana presence in the room... specifically, on the table in the center of the room. There was a flash of mana, and she suddenly saw two extra-large pizza boxes there, a few smaller pizza boxes, two bottles of soda, and a small card machine. All but the machine were surrounded by an aura of mana.
Jaden took the machine, grabbed his credit card from the endtable beside him, ran it through the machine, waited until a receipt was spewed out, and then accepted it.
The machine then disappeared from his hand, and the aura surrounding the food dissipated.
"Mana delivery. Gotta love it." he told Desiree.
"Very well." he said.
"I won't waste my breath arguing." he told her.

"Huh. That's.... handy." Desiree commented after a moment as she sat down.
"And thank you. I'd rather not argue about it." She then said.
"And this all smells really good." She added after a moment.
"Heh. I should hope so." he replied.
"Anyway, I got a pizza loaded with the meats, and a chicken pizza." he told her.
"As well as an order of cheesy bread sticks, some chicken popper nuggety things, and a thick brownie for dessert." he went on.
"Also, what pop do you prefer?" he asked.
"The 7up or the Cherry Coke?" he asked further.
"Decide that while I grab plates and glasses." he finished, before getting up to do so.

Desiree was silent for a moment before nodding.
"All right." She added, not entirely sure as to what she should have said regarding that, more than she did.
As he walked off, she sighed. This was definitely an easy decision.
---
A few nights later, Jaden had been at his mothers for the day, helping her with something or other. She hadn't inquired, but he'd had no issues with leaving her alone. By the time he returned home, she was in bed and already asleep. Jaden, figuring he had a bit before he needed to get some sleep, had made his way to the den to watch a movie or something.
When he finally decided to make his way to bed, he walked past Desiree's room.
And heard something from within.
