"Why did you take a bath?" asked Talindra.

"I went to the forest yesterday. You had your bath in the river and then in the sauna. I need to shake the dirt off from my hair," replied Talilia.

"Right! Let's eat! Oh! Did you turn on the washing machine?" asked Talindra.

"Yeah, I did that. Don't worry when the wash cycle gets over, I will put them in the dryer," said Talilia.

"What is happening? Why are you doing all this?" snapped Talindra.

"What am I doing?" asked Talilia.

"Why are you acting as if you feel guilty and to compensate you are helping me? What did Drel say to you?" asked Talindra.

"Well, he said that I hurt you yesterday. You went to so many difficulties to save me because you thought I was in danger. And I am sorry about that. Now I will have to stay here alone so I must know how to do chores. You will be at the office and there will be no one to help me," explained Talilia.
