She calms herself down, nuzzling her back. She keeps her eyes closed as she continues to hug her, happy to have somewhere to call home.

*Sapphire sighs, wishing she could keep hugging Mari but pulling away instead.* [u]Alright, well, time to brush your teeth.[/u]
-
She looked up at her curiously.
-
[u]You've never brushed your teeth??? I've got so much to teach you![/u] *She says, leading Mari into the bathroom and putting toothpaste on a toothbrush.*
-
She follows, looking at it with a confused expression.
-
[u]Okay... So, you brush your teeth to keep them clean and looking shiny. Can you open your mouth for me?[/u] *She asks, crouching down to Mari's height.*
-
She opens her mouth. Her teeth are actually decently white, not being too yellow.
-
[u]Oh, your teeth look nice already! But basically, you use this brush to get the toothpaste on your teeth, like this.[/u] *She gently puts her hand to Mari's chin, slowly sticking the brush into her mouth.*
-
She looks uneasy as she does so, but stays still, her ears twitching.
-
*Sapphire reaches in a bit farther, starting to brush the teeth in the very back of her mouth.*
-
Mari gags, a little surprised. She accidentally closes her mouth, biting Sapphire's wrist.
-
[u]Ouch![/u] *Sapphire pulls her hand out with the toothbrush, her wrist starting to bleed a little.*
-
Mari whimpers, her ears going down. She didn't mean to bite her.
-
[u]N-No, it's alright! You didn't mean to.[/u] *She says, wrapping some gauze around her wrist.*
-
She calms down, still looking sorry.
-
[u]It's okay... Really... You need to spit out the toothpaste though.[/u] *She says, rubbing her wrist a little and turning on the sink.*
-
She laps up some water and swooshes is around before spitting it into the sink.
-
[u]Good... Um... I'm not sure what we should do next...[/u]
-
She shrugs. Sapphire just then notices all Mari is wearing is a tattered deer-skin dress.
-
[u]Hm... We need to get you some new clothes... Would you like to go shopping?[/u]
-
She tilted her head again. "Sh...sh...shawp...shawpping?" she said, curious.
-
[u]Mhmm! It's when you go out and you buy things like clothes, food, and other stuff.[/u]
-
She nodded, beginning to get the idea.
-
*She heads into her bedroom, getting her wallet off the dresser and then holding her hand out for Mari.* [u]Let's go.[/u]
-
Mari takes her hand, following her.
-
*Eventually they reach a Belk, and Sapphire leads her inside, towards the girl's clothing section.*
