Melanie
*Shed sigh quietly and would look up at the ceiling. In reality. Yes. She kind of is. She's lost a lot of her will to live overall and has no self worth or confidence. All ruined by her past. Shes in as bad of a place mentally as physically. Maybe even worse. It's not good.*
Catherine
"Hey... Are you still cold or are you fine to be let go now?"

*Alexi spoke softly as possible as he felt it unnecessary to speak any louder considering how they were only a few inches apart, something that felt so new to him despite it being a common occurrence... It was just odd. He still did worry about her though, about her well being both mentally and physically and he wasn't too sure why but he didn't let that stop him*

"Also are you okay in your head or do you need a little more rest?"
Melanie
*The fact that she's still shivering is a bit of a give away. Yes she's still cold. She's usually cold yes but she's shivering cold right now. She'd still be red in the face from the closeness and she's unsure what to do. She just shrugs. No she's not ok in her head but she's not going to talk about it.*
Catherine
"Whelp..."

*It was only one word that he had said before he lifted Yukiko up and took her over to the bed, gently setting her down upon the soft mattress and sheets of the bed. He did this because not only had he not eaten any food yet, she probably hadn't either so getting a warm something may be best to warm up. Alexi could head out a little later though, he wanted to make sure the shivering stops before he does* 

"There we go"
Melanie
*Shed wince and shiver more as he does this but would curl up on the bed, watching him with her tired, bright red eyes. Shed smile a little as the softness of the bed hits her. She hasn't had a bed in so long..* "T-thank you.."
Catherine
"Mhm..."

*Alexi then stood back and looked around to judge the current situation, the room had a lit fireplace heating up the air which was good and Yukiko was in bed so that should help her warm a little. What was left was to get food for the both of them, it was obvious though that Yukiko would need to more considering how she may have spent a lot of energy on warming up*

"Hey I'm going to go get some food, is there anything you need before I do so?"
Melanie
*The rabbit would jump up onto the bed and hop up the bed to her. As usual wanting to be near her. She continues to shiver with cold, but much less than earlier. Food is important to her yes. She could really use some. She would shake her head and say.* "No.. Thank you."
Catherine
"I'll be back then"

*And with a nod to signify accepting her thanks, Alexi was off to go to the main dining area of this inn to purchase something warm for Yukiko. He did quickly made it to the dining area so he wasted no time in placing two orders for whatever meat they had available this morning as well as a side of an equally warm and nutritious side for it. He was then told to wait a few for the food to be made so he did, he just was a little impatient seeing as there was a shivering woman back there that was probably very hungry. Soon enough Alexi was handed two bowls of steaming stew with all the necessary ingredients for a good breakfast, he didn't complain about it because it always probably the fastest thing they could make so he left wordlessly to head back to the room*

*After an expedition of around thirty minutes Alexi returned to the inn room where Yukiko was, this time with bowls of stew in his hands as he entered*
Melanie
*As he leaves she just pulls the rabbit close to her. Petting him slowly and watching the fire and waiting for him to get back. As she's waiting she slowly falls into sleep. And by the time he gets back she's sleeping with Akito pulled to her, shivering slightly and breathing evenly as she sleeps.*
Catherine
*Alexi noticed that Yukiko had fallen asleep, this of course would be perfectly fine if he hadn't two bowls of quickly cooling food with him. This of course meant that he would have to wake her from her sleep, something that he would rather not do. He couldn't wake her currently though so he went to a nearby table, one that can be found in nearly all the rooms, and set the bowls of stew down on it before heading over to the bed to wake her. He started with two small shakes to maybe arouse her from her sleep*

"Hey Yukiko, wake up its time to eat"
Melanie
*Shed shift slightly, letting out a soft noise and opening her eyes, looking up at him and smelling the food and hearing him say this. She smiles slightly and nods, looking up into his face. Not saying anything apart from.* "Ok."
Catherine
"Do you think that you can get up to eat it yourself or...?"

*Alexi wanted to make sure of a few things first, he didn't want to just leave Yukiko there unable to get up or anything like that. He also didn't want to help her with such a thing wen she really didn't need it, so he asked if she was good enough to do her own thing*
Melanie
*Shed nod a bit. She thinks she can. And probably can. She would struggle and slowly sit up, propping herself up against the pillow, her rabbit sitting against her. She manages to sit up yes but it's not easy to do so.*
Catherine
*Alexi still stood by to help Yukiko if it was needed, he didn't interfere with her for now though. He was still genuinely worried for the Kitsune though, it was a bit new for him to have such a genuine thing but he didn't doubt it at all... He just wanted to see her happier and healthier if it was possible*
Melanie
*Shed manage to stay sitting up against the pillow, still shivering a small amount. She's always cold though really. Shed smile a little at him. She's slowly starting to, while not trusting him, not distrust him either. Which is a bit of an improvement really.*
Catherine
*Seeing as she was sitting up now, Alexi went over and retrieved the bowl for her, making things just a bit easier for the girl. He was going to eat his own meal, but he wanted to make sure that Yukiko was all good first. He ended that thought by handing her the bowl of stew*

"Here you go, eat up"
Melanie
*Shed take the bowl slowly with slightly shaking hands and would start to eat. She's hungry. As usual. But what do you expect? Shed smile slightly at him and swallow and say.* "Thank you.."
Catherine
"It's no problem... You hade me a bit scared there ya know, being so cold and all"

*Alexi spoke before getting his own bowl and taking a seat at the foot of the bed so he could eat. He had spoke his mind and really didn't care if Yukiko got mad, he was speaking his mind after all. One thing that still bugged him though was that she would probably need a new set of clothes Seeing how hers were probably all soaked and dirty*

"Oh, and how are your clothes holding up?"
Melanie
"I'm sorry.. I didn't want to scare you. I didn't even think you'd find me." *Shed say. She needs a full on bath. She's dirty. Doesn't smell that good (understandably) and just isn't that clean overall. Doesn't have much of a way to be really.* "Not all that well really..."
Catherine
"Honestly it was pure luck I guess"

*It was indeed luck that Alexi had come across her on his small search, had he not come across her then and there well... The worst may have happened. He was happy that she had recovered since that near frozen state from before but another worry had arose, her clothes as well as herself were filthy, it wasn't exactly the best way to live* 

"As for you and your clothes... How about you get washed up then we can head out to get some new clothes for you? It probably isn't all too comfortable being caked in mud"
Melanie
*Shed nod, just eating her stew. It's nice having hot food. It's rare for her to have hot food usually. So it's good when she does. Shed brush some of her white hair out of her face slowly. She is kind of gross and hates that she is. Shed nod in agreement.* "It's not at all.. It's uncomfortable and gross feeling."
Catherine
"Well whenever you feel you are ready to go get washed up just say, I can lead you to the washroom"

*Alexi said this between spoonful's of stew, his energy rising with each and every bite. He did find it great that wanted to wash up, it was probably one of the first few times that she had given him a definitive answer... It was progress in getting somewhere with Yukiko and that was what she was happy with*

"Then we can go shopping for a bit then... Sound good?"
Melanie
*She would nod in response, her mouth full of food. She would swallow and say* "Ok.. Thank you." *She can feel herself getting warmer and better with the stew. Still shivering slightly though. And she tends to be an indecisive person. Understandably all things considered. Once he says this she nods a bit.* "Alright..."
Catherine
*Seeing as a plan was laid out ad set, Alexi finished up his meal and set his bowl and cutlery aside on the nearby table. As it stood currently, He really didn't have much to do seeing as Yukiko was nearly at a point where she could take care of herself to a degree... The matter of her making the right decisions though was still up to debate in Alexi's mind though*
Melanie
*She would place her bowl with his once he finishes. As she is done too. If she cant reach she hands it to him. Shes still shivering and tired and sore and cant really move much. Shed smile a little at him, saying* "Thank you" *Softly*
