Elora nodded and shifted forward carefully so that she could look through the jewelry, she could remember each peace and how she had come by it, what dresses they went well with. She pulled out some rubies and found similar matching earrings, bringing them to her lap she rubbed them on the dressing gown to try and clean them up. It wasn't much of a purpose but it certainly gave her something to do.

Aisha worked hard at getting the dress Elora had chosen clean and fresh smelling. Drying it quickly by the fire, she gave it a final shake and nodded approvingly. Walking back out into the living area, she held it up.
"Does this look nice enough?" she asked.

"Yes, yes it looks perfect." Elora said full of excitement. It was the happiest she had felt in a long time. If she could not be entirely herself then at least she might get a part of her back.
"Beautiful."

Aisha smiled warmly at Elora's excitement. She had never had someone really appreciate what she had done for them. It made her feel really happy and she forgot about her fear.
"Would you like for me to help you bathe before we put it on? I'll bet you will feel much better." She certainly had when Cyrus had insisted that she take care of herself. "I can wash your hair and everything."

Elora wasn't sure. Cyrus had washed her, though she had hardly been in a position to say no. If she was going to look nice, looking properly nice would be wonderful.
"Yes, that would be nice I think. I cannot move very easily though and I am heavy, my insides are made of metal."

Aisha smiled as she accepted her offer and went to set the dress down gently. As she went on, she blinked and turned to face her.
"Metal?" she asked and searched her over. "How... How can they be made of metal?" She was suddenly not feeling sure of herself again.

"I don't know ... they've always been that way. My heart is clockwork, and other parts of me, I ... I am not sure how I think or feel but I do." She smirked a little. "That is why I cannpt walk or move well. I spent years lying on the floor there, until Cyrus found me."

Aisha looked to the floor for a moment, then swallowed back her nerves to push up a small smile.
"You've always been this way?" That seemed a bit scary to her. To not know where you came from and to be so unusual. "I wonder if oil would help you some how," she mused and looked back at her. "I will get your bath ready before I help you move."

Elora nodded and looked up into the girl's eyes.
"I won't hurt you. I'm no monster. Just a girl, like you." She looked down at her hands, they were getting a little bit grubby. "Oil might help, though I don't know how."

Aisha smiled a bit at her reassurance and nodded her understanding.
"I'll be right back," she said and went to prepare the bath for her. A few moments later, she returned and approached her. "Ready? You're going to feel so much better," she smiled and nodded. Leaning over, she carefully slipped her arms around her to help her up to her feet. She really was heavy, but she moved slowly to help her.

Elora breathed in deeply as the girl helped her move and attempted to put her weight on her legs. It was painful, again something she had never understood, how could she feel pain? Trying her hardest to take as much of her weight as she could she moved with the girl towards the bath.
"What's your name?" She asked softly.

Aisha moved slowly and carefully. Next time she would bring the basin into the room, she decided. Just so that it would be easier on Elora. Blinking at her question, she looked at her and really noticed how small she was compared to her.
"Um... Aisha," she replied. "Are you hurting real bad?" she asked, noticing the flickers of pain in her face as they moved.

"Aisha, that's a nice name." She decided. "Yes quite a bit, though ... It's fine, I really want to do this." She looked at the bath and reached down to start to undo the buttons. "I am fed up of lounging around all day."

"Yes. I can't imagine anything worse," Aisha smiled and waited patiently for her to undress herself, helping her when she needed it. Carefully, she helped her ease into the water. Once she was settled, Ai smiled and nodded.
"There. Here's some soap. It's not very special. I think it must be Cyrus's," she smiled and held the bar out to her. "I'll just sit right here and if it gets too hard or painful, I'll help you."

Elora looked at the soap and smirked, yep, probably was Cyrus' if it had been hers it would be heavily perfumed and most likely pink.
"Aisha, I'm sorry about the other day, where I told you to get out." She said softly as she soaped her skin. "I had many human friends and ... I lost them all. It was very hurtful, some I considered my family. It was hard watching them die. I did not wish to go through it again."
