[PRP] A warm hearth (Zofie and Arestia)

[Dementia Requiem Asumi]

"Thank you." He smiled, clearly not all that burdened by the weight of the kettle. Stia was stronger than he looked. But that wasn't hard considering he looked like a flimsy little fae. He blushed when she kissed his cheek, turning his head to kiss her forehead in return. "Any time you need saving, I hope to be the one saving you Zofie." The fae smiled, gently pulling away so he didn't burn her with the hot kettle.

He wasn't going to tell Zofie, but his hands were aching from carrying it. Mostly it was the application of pressure against a very fresh burn, but there was no way he was going to let her know he'd burnt himself in his attempt to save her from getting hurt. "Thank you for warming this up for me." He'd never felt such relief as he did when he dumped the boiling water into the tub. Sure, there was some work to do still, but the hot part was over.

She was honestly impressed when he held the kettle like it was nothing. That thing was heavy! Zofie wondered if Stia could even beat Kurt in an arm wrestling competition. If she was being honest, and mean, she would say that she had no idea a fea had it in them. Instead she smiled deciding if there was heavy lifting to do, she wouldn't argue when he offered.

The kiss to the forehead was unexpected, and she blushed a little bit from the action. "Thank you,"her tone came out more shyly then she expected. Hiding her face a few moments she composed herself and looked back with a warm smile, a dusting of a darker shade still on her cheeks.

Unaware of any pain he was in, she followed behind to tell him how to do the easy part. This system was set up by Kurt so she could take baths. The room temperature bucket was set up above the tub and got filled every morning so it was still full.

Earlier she had taken a bath of her own, but she always gathered what she needed to fill it before taking a bath. "Just turn the handle and the water will come out of the bucket. Once it is full enough, turn the handle the other way and it will stop. Stay in as long as you like." Filling it back up in the day light when it was warmer would be no trouble, she wanted her guest relaxed and comfortable.
