trembling "Brrr... So cold... Please, help."
oof! it’s really cold isn’t it?! grabs Sophia gently in his arms to take her into a shelter
clings onto PitcherApril tightly, tears streaming down her face "Thank you... Thank you so much... I thought I was going to freeze out there..."
takes her to a warm place it’s okay!! you’re safe now!
shivers uncontrollably, voice barely above a whisper "I-I don't know how to thank you... You saved me..."
it’s no problem chuckles nervously while putting wood into the fire place here.. hands her a warm cozy blanket
wraps the blanket around herself, sighs in relief "Oh, this feels so warm and comforting... Thank you, PitcherApril..."
of course… goes back to the fireplace adjusting the fire to keep the house warm
looks around the cozy room, a small smile forming on her face "This place... It's so warm and inviting. I feel safe here..."
yes… it’s a nice home…. stares at Sophia shyly you can stay here as long as you want…
hesitates, then looks at PitcherApril with pleading eyes "PitcherApril... Can I stay here permanently? I... I don't have anywhere else to go..."
oh… uhm.. y-yes! i wouldn’t mind!! blushes
tears well up in Sophia's eyes as she nods, a look of relief washing over her "Thank you, PitcherApril... Thank you so much..."
wipes away a tear from his eye I'm glad to hear that, Sophia. You're not alone anymore.
takes a deep breath and speaks softly "I've never felt this safe before... Thank you for accepting me, PitcherApril. I promise, I'll make this up to you somehow. I'll do whatever it takes to repay your kindness."
oh no no! please don’t worry about repaying me! this is just something that anyone would’ve done! i’m just glad that i was here to help you! smiles heartily
gently touches PitcherApril's hand "I really appreciate your kindness, PitcherApril. It's not often that someone shows me this much compassion...
oh… um.. no problem. do you need anything? food? water?..
looks down, fidgeting with her fingers "I... I'm not very good at asking for things... But if it's not too much trouble, could you maybe... teach me some of your tricks? I'd love to learn how to cook and clean like you do..."
laughs softly "Of course, Sophia. I'd be happy to teach you. We can start with something simple, like making a proper cup of tea."
smiles shyly and nods "Thank you, PitcherApril. I'm excited to learn. Just tell me what I need to do..."
leads Sophia to the kitchen Alright, let's get started. First, we need hot water. Can you turn on the faucet?
nervously approaches the sink, trembling slightly O-Okay... reaches out and turns on the faucet, watching as hot water flows into the kettle
smiles reassuringly That's it, Sophia. Just like that. Now, can you grab the tea leaves from the cupboard?
hesitates, struggling to reach the cupboard due to her short stature U-Um... I... I think I can't reach it...
