Steadily and carefully, telegraphing his movements, he picks her up to move her to the seat of the walker.

She stiffens a little, but doesn't flinch.

Okay. Now what?

Well. First Esca is going to nuzzle her a little worriedly.

And then Drex is going to wheel her back to her room.

It's only a little unnerving.

When they get there, she gestures at the bathroom.

Drex nods: bathroom it is.

He tilts his head, clearly asking if she wants help again.

She nods.

He lifts her again to help her across, as carefully as the last time.

Yeah.

It doesn't occur to her to wait for him to leave the room before continuing from there.

-Nope.

He pivots neatly, steps out of the bathroom and closes the door to. (And makes a note to see if he can get Ange to cover privacy as a concept.)

He's still keeping an ear out for her being in need of assistance again.

-okay.

There's a querying "mrp?" a few minutes later.

He peeks around the door - she decent?

Yup.

That's better. He continues to telegraph his movements as he helps her back to the seat of the walker, and moves that close enough to the sink that she can wash her hands.

She only cheats a little at it, just enough to make sure the water doesn't splash everywhere. He probably won't notice, right?

If he does, he doesn't seem to think it's anything out of the ordinary.

"Want to stay here?" he asks as he wheels her back out into the bedroom.

She nods.

"Bed?"

Another nod. (Where else would she go?)

Well. There are a couple of chairs.

Still. He pulls the covers back, picks her up and sets her on the bed, and then gently draws the covers over her, tucking them around her shoulders.

She's momentarily confused, at being tucked in, but relaxes into it; she doesn't quite smile, but almost.

Drex gives her a soft smile, nods, and heads out of the room, leaving the walker next to the bed, in easy reach.

Esca, after a momentary pause, jumps up on the bed, and stretches out along her side.

"Esca." Look, he's a really good dog, okay?

He is! And his tail thumps happily on the bed at her statement.
