Russell was at first a little concerned when the creature took his keys, they were after all his only set. He was relieved of this concern however when the creature simply played with them, mimicking the sounds they made, before returning them to him. Using them to open the door to his apartment in the building he ushered the creature in first before following and closing the door behind him.<br/><br/>"Welcome to my home." He said, setting his suitcase down next to the door, vowing to unpack it soon. He watched the creature as it took in the surroundings, pausing to touch his hair and making the sounds of the rain before moving off into the place Russell called home. While it did this, Russell walked down the short hallway to the bathroom, pulling out two towels from the stack he used one to dry his own dripping hair, tossing the damp towel in the hamper, and carrying the second back out to where the creature was. He could hear it making animal noises, likely the ones seen in the pictures hung all over the small apartment from his travels.<br/><br/>Coming to where the creature sat against the couch, Russell held up the towel in his hands and knelt down in front of it.<br/>"I'm going to dry you off, okay." He said before slowly reaching to dry off the creature, being careful not to make it feel trapped or hurting it. He left the towel with the creature when he figured it was mostly dry, and stood, hands on his hips.<br/>"I should probably turn the heat up again, it's getting kind of chilly in here." He moved towards the door, turning the thermostat up a few degrees. He turned it down when he was gone, not wanting to pay for heat or cooling he wasn't using. Soon, the sound of air rushing from the grates filled the room and ever so slowly it started to warm up. As the storm raged on, Russell closed the few blinds he had left open to try and block some of the sights and sounds from outside, and turned to watch the creature.<br/><br/>What was he suppose to do with it? It didn't appear to speak, apart from repetition or mimicking, so communication would be difficult. There was also the problem of what this thing could do, or even where it came from. What if some government agency was tracking it right now? Hoping this wasn't the case, Russell chose to ignore most of these concerns for the time being, or at least until he had gotten some decent sleep.<br/><br/>Once more leaving the room, he grabbed some blankets from the closet in his room and returned with the stack, spreading them on one of the couches.<br/>"You can sleep here for tonight and we'll figure out what's going on tomorrow." He said, patting a pillow into place. He wasn't sure the creature would use it, but he had also never made up a bed for something that wasn't human before.
