*Sapphire sighs, wishing she could keep hugging Mari but pulling away instead.*
[u]Alright, well, time to brush your teeth.[/u]
English
-
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.*
-
She looks around at all the stuff, quite amazed at all the sights. She had never been anywhere like this before, as Kari would keep them hidden most of the time, and people would chase them away. She saw a large blue woolly sweater with a white snowflake on the center. She tugged Sapphire's arm and pointed at it.
