[Vesa's]
I just do not know what I can do to make you less unnerved... even after Chloe, I understand very little social and interpersonal things.
She frowns, patting her back gently.

I just do not know what I can do to make you less unnerved... even after Chloe, I understand very little social and interpersonal things.
She frowns, patting her back gently.
[Vesa's]
Alia nods, and smiles faintly, relaxing a bit as Vesa explains.
"It's just my past making me worried, Iru... It'll take a while to calm down, even with the help, but what you're doing is fine."
[Vesa's]
She nods, holding her and keeping up as much comfort as she knows how to give.
[Vesa's]
Alia slowly calms, snuggling into her friend's lap, somewhat more confident now that Vesa isn't planning to kick her out in the near future.
[Vesa's]
She smiles gently, glad to see her more at ease now.
Are you feeling somewhat less anxious?
[Vesa's]
Alia nods, returning her smile.
"Some, yeah..."
[Vesa's]
Any other assistance I can provide?
[Vesa's]
She shrugs.
"I'm not all that much better at this stuff than you are, Iru..."
[Vesa's]
She starts thinking about her experiences with Chloe.
Perhaps a shower? I understand it can be very calming, especially with another providing assistance in cleansing oneself.
[Vesa's]
"That... Sounds nice, yeah," Alia agrees, smiling a bit, and, somewhat shakily, going to stand up.
[Vesa's]
The paler girl helps her stand as they make their way to the shower.
[Vesa's]
Alia smiles gratefully, obviously still rather shaken, as they go.
[Shower Block]
Vesa selects a stall, beginning to disrobe.
It is not often that I need to use these facilities.
[Shower Block]
Alia nods, doing much the same, though I believe they're sharing a stall, so she doesn't bother doing that.
"I don't usually see anyone in here, really..."
[Shower Block]
Indeed!
Turning the water on, Vesa looks back at her friend to see how she seems to be doing.
[Shower Block]
Alia seems to be doing alright, at least in comparison to earlier, and steps in with her, smiling just a bit.
[Shower Block]
The pale Revenant steps behind her friend to begin the Washing of the Back.
[Shower Block]
Alia relaxes a bit further, which likely will be the general trend of the whole shower.
[Shower Block]
Unless something happens during the process, Vesa will soon be helping her friend dry off.
[Shower Block]
Nothing in particular happens, no; Alia was careful to make sure her hands stayed non-wandery, and that's the only problem I can think of that might have happened.
"Did you happen to bring spare clothes?"
[Vesa's]
She nods, pulling a simple grey top and shorts from her bag for each of them.
[Vesa's]
Alia changes into her pair, smiling, and, presumably, the pair then head back to Vesa's room.
[Vesa's]
Vesa smiles gently, sitting down on her bed and watching her friend.
[Vesa's]
Alia sits down next to her friend, hesitantly reaching out to take her hand as she does.
[Vesa's]
She squeezes her friend's hand gently, giving her an attempt at a reassuring smile.
[Vesa's]
Alia smiles back, gently squeezing her hand as well, and going to hug the Revenant with her free arm.
[Vesa's]
She returns the embrace gently.
It is good to see you smiling again.
[Vesa's]
Alia rests her head on Vesa's shoulder, nodding.
"It's good to feel like smiling again, too... Thanks for helping me out, Iru."
[Vesa's]
Now that we have fixed that, what shall we do?
[Vesa's]
She shrugs.
"Movie, maybe? I don't know. If you have anything in mind, I'm open to suggestions..."
