"Well, nobody says you have to." Ash replied.
"And there." he said, finishing up the blankets.
"Now you have some heavy makeshift curtains around your bed." he told her.
"Want to take a shower?" he asked.
"The water in there gets pretty damn nice and warm." he said. "Plus, I dunno how long it's been since you had a shower or bath." he added with a shrug.
"Hmmmm..." he mumbled, looking around.
"And I have some large hoodie sweaters that you can use as a robe afterwards if you want." he added.

Casey was silent for a moment before looking herself from head to toe. When she noticed how messy her hair was, and how she was very likely about to lose her rather depressing clothing.
"Uhhh.... a shower would likely be wonderful." She said after a couple of seconds.
"So... uhh... yeah. That'd be lovely."

"Cool." Ash replied.
He then made his way to a smaller closet, and gave her a couple of towels. After he did that, he dug around in a third closet, until he found a large hoodie sweater, as he said he would.
When he gave it to her, it was clear that it would cover her completely, and probably reach down to her knees.
"Admittedly, I don't have much clothing for a kid." he muttered. "I can quickly grab some clothing for you while you're in the shower." he then said.
"And I'll help." Deidra told her.
"Ash can be a bit clueless when it comes to clothes shopping." she chuckled.

Casey nodded.
"All right." She said after a moment.
"I... I'm gonna go do that." She then said with a nod before vanishing into the bathroom with the towels he'd handed her, along witht he sweater.

Ash and Deidra watched her go into the bathroom, before they looked at each other.
"Guess we're off." Ash said, to which Deidra nodded.
While Casey was in the bathroom, and when she started to clean herself, she remembered just how good it felt to wash. The relief of getting clean once more. And Ash had been right, the water in there got to a wonderfully warm temperature. And the products he had in there felt good as well... surprisingly refreshing, soothing, and cleansing.
When she finished up, she dried herself off and placed the large loose sweater over her, which covered her completely. She stepped out of the bathroom, and saw Ash sitting in one of the chairs, with a small pile clothing beside him. Deidra was still there as well, and she smiled at Casey.
"Felt good?" she asked her.

"Yep. Been awhile." Casey stated with a shrug.
"Don't worry," she then said, while addressing Ash, "I'll be out of your hair tomorrow. One night to recharge is wonderfully appreciated. Thank you."

Ash looked at her with an expression of concern when she said that.
"Eh?" he muttered.
"I know this place isn't optimal, but is it THAT bad?" he asked her.
"I mean, I'm willing to let you stay here for as long as needed. I'm gone most of the time anyway, so it'd be like you have the place to yourself." he continued.
"Just... yeah, if you're homeless, THIS can be your home, for whatever it's worth."

Casey paused.
"Wait... what?" She asked.
"Aren't you worried abotu legal repercussions?" She asked.
"I mean... the last dude that tried to help me out... welll.... that was a load of trouble for him." She added after a couple of seconds.

"The last dude?" he asked. "A load of trouble?" he asked her.
"What do you mean? What happened?" he then asked further.
The fact that someone had tried this before was intriguing to him. But he had to wonder what had happened. Why did it fail? What were the repercussions?
And would this change his mind?

Casey was silent for a moment before shrugging.
"I'm registered as having been abducted." She stated.
"Which isn't true. I'm a runaway, there's a bloody difference." She added.
"But... he was believed to have been the one to have taken me, soooo he got the legal aspect of that coming down on his head."

"Huh. I see." Ash responded.
"That... well, that sucks. To understate it." he said.
"And you're registered as being abducted?" he asked further.
"Hmmmmmmmmm..." he mumbled, seemingly thinking hard on something.
"Well, we'll see what happens. Maybe we can make it work THIS time." he told her.
"For now, if you like, you can stay here. It's a roof over your head, and food." he said further. "Which reminds me, that stack of leftovers is yours if you want it." he added, gesturing to the containers on the kitchen counter.

Casey was silent as Ash said all he did. She wasn't about to argue with him, for that had gotten her into a lot of trouble in the past. Beyond that, she knew that there was a high chance of this not going well at all, pretty much a guarantee of it, if she argued.
She was too appreciative of the roof for the night, since last she heard it was supposed to get shockingly cold.
"Thanks." She said after a few seco0nds.

Ash had a feeling that Casey's initial silence had a lot more to it than she was letting on. But he wasn't going to press her on it. Not right now, anyway.
For now, he was glad she had decided to not wander outside, especially when the weather was supposed to be getting really bad. Even for the time of year they were at.
"Hey, no worries." he told her.
"And feel free to check through the clothing." he went on, as Deidra hovered around him.
"...also, thanks." he said further. "Seeing Deidra again was... really something that I needed." he admitted.
"You're cute when you get sentimental." Deidra commented, which caused the male to blush slightly.

"Least I could do." Casey commented with a light smile.
"And I knew you were a mage." She added.
"A little birdy told me." She told him with a light snicker. It wasn't hard to guess that it was actually because she had spoken to someone that was dead, and they knew.

"Ah... I see." Ash replied.
"But yeah, I'll try and think of something. Some workaround of the system." he told her.
"For now, you are free to stay here." he said.
"There will always be food here, and it's bound to be warmer and more comfortable than outside." he reasoned.
"Plus, there's TV and internet here." he added with a shrug.

"Thank you, Ash." Casey said, and he could hear just how grateful she was to his help here.
"I'll... try not to be seen by anyone..." She said quietly.
"So that.. y'know... no legal problems to you."

"That would be appreciated." Ash responded.
"But you don't have to coop yourself up in here." he told her.
"If you feel the need to go for a walk, then do so." he said.
"You're not a prisoner here or anything." he reasoned.
"Oh, and Deidra picked out some clothes, and winter stuff for you." he then added.
"It IS starting to get chilly." Deidra commented.

A couple of months later Ash was sitting in the lounge when he was called to the head office. He amde his way there and the blonde that was there just looked him head to toe.
"You all right?" Shye asked, concern in her voice.

"....." Ash was silent as she asked her question.
"I... well, yeah." he said.
"I'm fine." he told her, before looking himself over, glossing over all the things that invalidated his statement. Not that he would draw attention to it.
"Why?" he asked.
"I mean, coming back from hunts all beat up isn't anything new, right?" he asked her.
"I... well, yeah." he said.
