"Hey Yukiko, how about we get going? We have a few things to do after all"

*Alexi spoke softly as it seemed that Yukiko wasn't exactly in the best of moods at that moment, this was no problem right now because they still had a few things that needed to get done that may improve her mood a bit. These things included bathing and getting new clothes, things they agreed on earlier of course* 

"Though we can wait if that sounds better"
Melanie
*She would nod slowly, her face still tinted red. No she's not in a good mood. She's kinda depressed. Feeling alone and really just doesn't know what to do at all. And it's upsetting her yes.* "Alright.. Lets go then.."
Catherine
"Okay"

*And with that Alexi got up from the bed and held out his hand to help Yukiko get up as well, he didn't want to be insensitive to the girl after all... Especially when she wasn't in such a great mood. He did have to wonder if she would be able to bathe on her own though... This of course worried him greatly due to obvious reasons* 

"...Do you think you'll be able to bathe on your own?"
Melanie
*Shed take his hand slowly, hers still being ice cold, and would try to stand up, struggling and failing in the process. She's still very weak. Though better and capable of moving, not really walking yet. Shed look away, a little embarrassed and feeling weak and judged. Even though she's not being judged.*
Catherine
"I see... Well, is it okay if I carry you then? You seem a bit too weak right now"

*Alexi was of course sincere in this question, not even daring to think about ridiculing the poor Yukiko. He honestly found it terrible that she had to live in such conditions for so long, this made him want to give her a better life of course so he didn't exactly plan on just giving up on her*
Melanie
*She would nod slowly, allowing it. Still not looking at him. Shed shift a little. She still doesn't really know how she feels about him. She thinks she might be attracted to him? But she's embarrassed and has less than an idea on what to do about it so she just. Keeps to herself.*
Catherine
*With the confirmation on him being allowed to pick her up, Alexi leaned over and gently scooped Yukiko into his arms before lifting her off the bed. It it wasn't obvious now that he cared greatly for her, then it wouldn't be any more obvious because he never did this for people that he had little regard for... Yukiko was a special case for him, she was someone he was both attracted to as well as someone he really wanted to care for and he liked this despite it being new* 

"Do tell if you get uncomfortable, I can put you down then okay?"
Melanie
*Shed blush a little as he picks her up. Who knows why. Well she does. But she's not going to say anything. She, giving the pretext of making him Carry her easier, which doesn't make sense as she's very light, wraps her arms around his neck, her ears brushing gently against his chin. Not flicking back. As they normally do. The only time this has happening before was when she was sleeping on him. It gives the idea that her ears allowing themselves to be touched or whatever is a sign of comfort and trust. And her tails would, with no given reasoning, wrap around his legs a little. Both of the last two actions are without her meaning too. They just kind of happen.*
Catherine
*Alexi had felt her ears brush against his chin just like they had earlier, this of course wasn't exactly like the usual because usually she had them back when they had interacted. He of course took this as her warming up to him, no more and no less... Then he felt her tail wrap around his leg, this was definitely more than warming up but Alexi doubted that. As much as he wanted to say something to try and confirm it, he just stayed silent and let things be... He enjoyed it after all*
Melanie
*Shed close her eyes slowly, still red in the face, saying and doing nothing. She's a little embarrassed yes and realized quickly what her tails and ears were doing. She doesn't change it though. Thinking if she does he might get more suspicious. If she leaves it it might just seem like a reaction. Though it doesn't really.. But she just doesn't pick up on that.*
Catherine
*The fact that she hadn't changed this at all nearly confirmed that it was near intentional for Alexi, he of course still refused to bring it up though in fear of her changing it... He had learned that if he brought attention to her actions, it could lead to her stopping them so he just didn't want to bring it up just yet. He did hold on yet her closely though as they walked down the hall and top the washroom, a place that he was secretly dreading due to the fact that he might have to help her seeing as she was weaker... He just had to see how it went though*
Melanie
*Shed allow herself to be carried, holding herself close to him as well. Her eyes still closed. Her tails around his leg gently. No one is watching. Thankfully for her. Her ears brushing gently under his chin still. She's thought of this too but says nothing about it. Just sitting in his arms and waiting until they get there.*
Catherine
*Soon enough they reach the wash room, it was a public one of course but the Inn itself was fairly empty so he doubted that anyone would be in there at all. He did hesitate on entering though as he knew that once he passed the doors, things would get a bit awkward. He did eventually enter though*
