"Of course! Do you know if you'll want it spicy?"

Eefa has had spicy food before, it hurt.

"Not if I don't have to?"

"You don't have to. Timio and Chioss likes theirs spicy, so we'll have some of it each way."

"I'd like it not spicy if there's enough."

"There's plenty! And if you're hungry before dinner there's snacks out still."

Eefa has already eaten twice a day, how could she still be hungry. 

... She just stares as a reply.

"Okay, I'm getting the impression you want some alone time. Totally okay. Let me or Chioss know if you think of anything you need." And he leaves her in her room.

Time to hide her food, good! 

... Actually she waits a bit first, just in case they are watching her or something bad happens.

Nothing happens. She can hear the other kids setting up a board game.

Food hidden in her old clothes! 

... And then she plops on the floor for a bit to nap, since the rug is so comfy.

The rug has no opinion on this at all and neither does anyone else. She will get called for dinner at dinner time.

Eefa rubs sleeps out of her eyes and heads to dinner - it was a very good nap and there were nice soft clouds in the otherwise scary* dream she was having.

*Eefa does not really have a concept for non-scary dream.

Dinner is as advertised! "Hello Eefa!" says Chioss. "This is your chair. Do you want the placemat with the stars or the one with the leaves?"

"The stars one?" she replies.

She is suspicious about why they want to know this.

It's so he can give her the stars placemat and put her bowl on it! "You'll probably want to blow on your soup, it's hot," she tells her.

"Oh. Yeah that makes sense."

Blow! And then slurp slurp. This soup is very tasty 

(No small amount of soup ends up on Eefa in the process.)

"Whoopsie, looks like you and the spoon didn't agree on all the details there," says Mikko when she's done eating. "Do you prefer baths or showers?" Also he's going to whisk her shirt off.

Eefa just got that shirt!

... She will not hold on to it though, maybe they'll give her a new one.

"I don't know?"

"Well, you tried a shower before, we can try a bath now."

The bathtub has two basins, one for washing and one for rinsing. Mikko gets them both filled up and plops her in the washing one once the rest of her clothes are off. There are bubbles and floating fish toys and the water is warm.

Eefa pokes some bubbles tentatively.

This is very confusing. Not bad but. Very confusing. 

"Are the fish things also being washed?"

"Nope, they're there for you to play with while you're in the tub! I'm going to wash your hair for you, okay?"

"Okay?"

Washing her hair really isn't any weirder than any of the other things that've been happening. Eefa doesn't think she's ever cleaned up twice in the same day, or the same week for that matter.

She pokes at the fish tentatively while her hair is cleaned.

The fish float! Some of them squish! One of them is a sponge!

Eefa does not get these. She experiments with soaking up water in the sponge one and squeezing it out on top of the floating ones to see what happens. It's sorta nice. The squish ones are nice feeling too. 

This is not how she expected being captured and dunked in water to go.

The bath is pretty quick - it was just soup, after all - and then she gets rinsed off in the rinse tub. Chioss brings in another outfit to replace the souped one while Mikko is wrapping her up in a towel.
