Kate felt for the girl as she knew her questions were not easy ones she hugged her. "I appreciate your being honest. Alyx is smart and he is cautious. Reika, you are smart too and don't you feel you have to compare yourself to him. I will teach you table manner and tonight you may eat in the kitchen."<br/><br/>Kate smiled at her warmly. "You are brave and I will help you with your fears. I am sorry, this is the holidays and you will be around a lot of people. I am not going to force you to have friends. That would be unfair."<br/>Kate filled the water with hot water and added lavender oil to the water. "Take off your clothes and put them in the hamper by the toilet."<br/>Kate hands her a fluffy robe. "Put this on after you dry off."Kate hands her a wash cloth and sets out two towels on the counter. "This one is for your hair and this one for your body." Kate shows her a small tray of soaps in shapes of sea shells and turtles.<br/><br/>"Take any soap you like." The mage hands her friend with a small jar of liquid soap. "This is to wash your hair." Kate sets the vial of lavender oil on the counter. "This will help take out the tangles. Don't use too much or your hair will feel oily."<br/><br/>Kate opens a cupboard filled with hairbrush, comb and other toiletries. "This is yours and you can brush your teeth and use this minted tooth powder. Anything else you need we go shop for you. You can use my hair jewelry tomorrow."<br/><br/>Kate stood by the door, "I will not leaving the room. You may call me if you need me."
