Koko's eyes twinkled as she kept them on the road. "Consider it a thank you gift...and an apology in a way," she replied.

Judith stared at the iPod in amazement.
"Wow... Thanks!" She smiled at Koko, "That's really sweet."
She bounced in her seat a bit, now much more excited to get home and try it.

"an apology?" Drake asked, loking a little puzzled. He continued to turn his psp over in his hands.
"what have you to apologise for?"

"For misjudging you," Koko replied keeping her eyes on the road. "Although I'm not sure I can ever fully forgive what you did to Grace, but I understand more so now..."
Besides, it's Fayt who you'll need to seek forgiveness from more so than me. But hopefully he'll never find out....about any of this.
She pulled the truck into the parking spot behind the shop, killed the engine, and got out with shopping bags in hand.

Drake nodded, though looked a little uncomfortable. he wasn't sure if she had misjudged him. she was right, and he didn't expect her to forgive him for illing off a family member. he probably wouldn't in her position.

Koko could make out the sound of her excited poochies on the other side of the door when she unlocked it. She sat the bags down and returned to retrieve the dog-food. Yoki and Bly followed behind her the whole way. "I don't know how long you're staying....so feel free to use the shower if you need to," Koko commented as she lifted the bags out of the back. "And if you need laundry done just leave it in the hamper and I'll get to it."

Drake nodded, smiling. it was better now she wasn't forcing them out of the door.
"I'll take you up on that, actually." he said, wanting a shower quite badly.

"I'm afraid I don't have any really masculine scented soaps," Koko replied taking the dog-food down inside the shop. Then she hit the button to lock the truck after they were out. "Although there might be some soaps I've made in the shop you might prefer. You're welcome to browse the shop for them if you want....and the soaps with be free of charge this time around."
Bly then nudged at Drake's leg in a friendly gesture. Yoki however did not. She remained at Koko's side in the shop.

Drake nodded and bent down to stroe Bly on the head.
"Good boy, see? we can get along"
He heade dinto the shop, investigating around. He managed to find a soap that smelt a little like cinnamon and other spices, and assume that tht'd do well enough.
"hey koko, this ok?"

"It's fine," Koko replied. "I said you could pick what you wanted." She then started setting her purchases out. The fabric and potting soil would stay down here along with one of the bags of dog-food while the other got stored upstairs. She glanced at the time and stiffled a yawn. But there would be no sleep this time. She had to open shop today and work while the other two slept.

Taing hsi soap, he heade dupstairs, remembering where the shower was clearly - after all his and Koko's meeting was quite memorable. As he crossed her bedroom he placed his psp and his new clotehs on the bed and pulled his old ones off as he walked, depositing them across the floor.
He then headed into the bathroom, pulling the door to, knowing no-one would come after him, and stepped into the shower. After a bit of fiddling with the settings he managed to get a heat he liked and enjoyed the water. It felt like an age snce he's had a proper shower and let out an audible sigh of pleasure at the warm water and the feeling of clean it brought.
He then grabebd the soap and started to clean properly while whistling a Frank Sinatra tune

Koko followed Judith upstairs and sighed when she saw the clothes scattered about her floor. She wasn't sure if that meant he wanted his clothes cleaned or not. She considered asking him when she heard him whistle but decided to wait. Then she blushed a little at the thought of Drake being in her shower.....she fought desperately against the mental images.
((Sorry if I sort take control of Judith's direction. I just feel bad when she gets left out for so long.))

Drake continued whistling until he truend off the water and stepped out, casually dripping all over the floor as he walked over to the towels and pulled one off. He glanced down at his skin and his face in the mirror in tired exasperation. The heat had brought out the scars that were usually buried beneath the surface of his skin and hidden to the naked eye - they seemed to rais eup a little in repsonse to the heat. At first it had surprised him, but he supposed it made sense : after all, the wounds were never really 100% gone. The body just healed itslef enough to function helathily again. Now, a spiderlike network of pale but burn-scars were draped over one side of his body, reaching from his face, enveloping his right arm and running down his torso. His eyes were surrounded by various nicks and crossings of straight scars that seemed to almost cut itno the sockets, and his stomach held the same kind of scars there from just below his chest to his navel. He couldn't help but wince as the memroies - also scarred into his mind- began to return. Already the scars began to slowly fade again as he cooled down. But it often took a few minutes for them to fully dissapear.
he sighed and rubbed his hair with the towel and then walked to the door as he tugged it losoely around his wait. He opened it and stopped, surprised by Judith and Koko standing there.
"oh. Come for a group wash? well I can get back in, ladies, if you insist." he joked, quickly glancing down at himslef to see if the scars had faded yet. he didn't seem to be that lucky, so just hoped they somehow hadn't noticed.

Koko blushed further-trying not to stare at the towel, but made no reply to his question. But she did glance over the now visible scars. Her curiousity peaked a bit however she asked no questions-at least for the moment. She decided she may ask later when he was dressed. "Do you want these washed?" she asked gesturing to the clothes on the floor. Bly and Yoki wondered in at the sound of their voices. Yoki gave a disapproving sound and pulled at Koko's pant leg. Bly out is paw over his nose and turned away as if embarrassed.
