"Just tell me when and where to hold things."

"Yeah, sure." She said.
"I can hold it." She added before setting the water down where she'd put the food and making her wya over to him.
"Just tell me when and where to hold things."
"You got it." Rene replied.
After about 10 minutes, and Erica seeing that no funny business had occurred, they had the lock installed.
"And done." Rene said, tugging on it with a fair amount of force.
"If you like, we can test it." he told her, stepping out of the room.
"Shut the door and lock it." he said.
When she did, she heard him attempt to get in, using obvious force at times... and it did not budge.
"Looks like we did it!" he called inside.

Erica was silent before sighing lightly.
"Good to know." She said after unlocking the door, and opening it again.
"Thank you." She stated after a few seconds, he could hear the sincerity in her voice as well. There was something about her that reminded him of his cousin, yet there was no way that he could pinpoint why. It seemed that Erica was completely different than his cousin, but there was something similar between them.
Rene smiled as he heard what she said, and drew the comparison to his cousin.
"You're welcome." he told her, as the cat jumped down towards the food, and started to eat.
"Ah, yes." he then said.
"Come on." he told her.
"Methinks you need a shower." he commented.

Erica paused a moment.
"That..... that I really can't deny" She agreed with a light sigh.
"But... do you have a means I can rewrap my hand and arm?" She then asked. She wasn't interested in getting the bandages wet after all.
"I should have asked you to grab the means for me to when you stopped..."
"......." Rene was silent, before smacking his forehead.
"That's right!" he said.
"I did!" he told her.
"One second." he said further, before disappearing back downstairs. After about 30 seconds, he returned with a box of fresh cloth for her to wrap her arm in.
"Thought I put it in the same bag as the cat stuff." he commented.
"Guess I didn't."
"That's right!" he said.
"I did!" he told her.

"Thought I put it in the same bag as the cat stuff." he commented.
"Guess I didn't."
"Oh! Thank you. What was the total for that?" Erica then asked.
"I have the money for the wrappings." She added with a soft smile as she reached for her wallet in her pocket. While waiting for him to answer, she dug the money out for him. She had a pretty good idea as to what the ccost was, since she'd gotten them numerous times in the past.
"Negligible." Rene replied.
"......" he was then silent, before sighing.
"But you won't accept that." he said.
"It cost me 7 and change for the wrappings." he told her.
"But I'll accept just the 7."
"......" he was then silent, before sighing.
"But you won't accept that." he said.
"It cost me 7 and change for the wrappings." he told her.
"But I'll accept just the 7."
Erica nodded and paused.
"Here ya go." She said after a few seconds as she handed it over.
"Sorry, didn't see I had singles." She added with a light laugh.
"And thanks."
Rene just nodded.
"You're welcome." he said, pocketing the money.
"Come on." he told her, as they made their way to the bathroom.
Once inside, he put some towels on the counter in the room, and a bathrobe that was too big, but it would cover her.
"I'll wash your clothes after you go to bed." he told her.
"Feel free to use any of the shampoo or conditioner or bodywash or whatever."

Erica nodded.
"Thanks." She stated after a moment or two.
"I'll gladly have a shower." She then said. ". .. been awhile."
"Anyway, only if you clear out."
Rene nodded.
"Of course." he replied.
He then left the room, and shut the door behind him.
When he did, he thought for a moment.
'Hmm... she's going to need clothes...' he thought.
'Wait... I wonder if she's the same size as...?' he asked himself, before going to check something. He still had a bunch of his cousin's clothing in a box, so he was going to let her try them on, to see if they fit.
"Of course." he replied.

Erica sighed one the door was closed and just looked to the mirror, staring at her dirty reflection. When her eyes rested on the small cut on her neck from earlier, she just shook her head lightly.
". . . that's going to sting, I'm sure." She muttered before starting in unwrap her hand. As she did so, Rene felt the air change, but couldn't identify from where the change originated. He couldn't place how it changed either. Just that... something changed. Something was different, he could feel it, but he didn't feel any different, and he couldn't tell what it was.
Rene hadn't gotten very far when he felt the air change.
"....what...?" he muttered.
"What's this...?" he asked.
"Something's... different. But I can't place WHAT. Or HOW. Or ANYTHING." he went on, looking around, and then looking back to the bathroom.
"...." he was silent, before shaking his head.
"Get the clothes first." he reminded himself, before going to find the box.
"....what...?" he muttered.
"What's this...?" he asked.
"Something's... different. But I can't place WHAT. Or HOW. Or ANYTHING." he went on, looking around, and then looking back to the bathroom.

Erica stepped into the water and washed up, enjoying the water running over her body. There was a chill that remained, and that the water was able to banish. She didn't say anything though, since there was nothing for her to say here. She was just too happy to be where she was for the moment.
Eventually, she just sat back in the tub and let the hot water beat on her. She didn't want to climb out yet, and that was very easy to believe.
Rene, meanwhile, had placed the box of clothing in Erica's room, and was silent for a moment, before he perked up.
"....hm?" he mumbled.
"...blood...?" he asked, as he narrowed his eyes and appeared to sniff the air.
"..........." there was another drawn-out silence from him, before he then sighed.
"Doesn't... seem like too much..." he muttered.
"Hmph." he then grunted, before starting to unpack the clothes. He then grabbed something, and made his way to the door, knocking on it.
"I'm going to leave some sleep pants and a sleep shirt for you at the door!" he called in.
"....hm?" he mumbled.
"...blood...?" he asked, as he narrowed his eyes and appeared to sniff the air.

"I'm going to leave some sleep pants and a sleep shirt for you at the door!" he called in.
Erica jumped when she heard the door.
"Oh, yeah all right!" She called through it.
"Thanks!' She added after a moment, not entirely sure if she should be alarmed that he had clothing for her. She wasn't going to worry about it though. She was already here, after all.
After another hour, she came back downstairs and looked around, wondering where Rene was. She wasn't entirely sure what the rules were for the house, after all.
She found Rene at the kitchen table, looking over some papers with various information on them. It all looked medical, and there was a lot she didn't understand.
"Oh, hey." Rene said when he noticed she was there.
"Sorry if the clothes don't fit you perfectly." he apologized.
"All I had that was close to your size was a bunch of my cousin's clothing when she lived with me for a bit." he told her.
"They all right, though?" he asked.
"Oh, hey." Rene said when he noticed she was there.
"Sorry if the clothes don't fit you perfectly." he apologized.

"They all right, though?" he asked.
Erica nodded.
"Yeah, they fit all right." She said with a nod.
"I think it's a time where it proves that my living on the streets having made me smaller is a good thing." she then said with a light laugh.
"Regardless, very comfy. I'm surprised."

Rene just smiled when she said what she did.
"Cool." he replied.
"You want something to nibble on, or drink?" he asked.
"I grabbed some pastries that should be eaten in the next couple of days." he told her, gesturing to the box beside him.
"And feel free to have anything to drink from the fridge. Just don't touch the water bottles with the green labels." he said further.
"Those are mine."
"Cool." he replied.
