Running scared

Keira looked at the fox for a few more seconds before she let go if the stone. She turned the fox around, looking at it more closely, making sure that it was dead. When she was sure that it was, she stood up, holding it in her hand by its tail, and turned towards Galen with a bit of a smile on her lips. She glanced at the fix before looking at him again, and she sat down, placing the dead fox on the ground. She took the stone again and started rubbing it against the fox's skin, making the fur fall off, although it went slow.

As a part of the fox's skin was exposed and it's fur was gone, Keira leaned towards it, opened her mouth and put her teeth in it.
 
Galen's hand fell from his mouth when Kiera turned and he returned her smile. He watched as she sat down and started to rub the fur off of the fox with the same rock she killed it with. When she bit into it, he walked over to her. "I can cook that, you know?" he said, slightly smiling. "Cook it and make it taste better." He had skinned an animal before, so taking care of the fur was no problem. "Want me to show you?" he asked, extending his hand again. That was becoming their own type of asking, maybe even somehow a sign of trust.
 
Keira looked at him and then she reached her hand out, taking his. She glanced at the fox and then she stood up, grabbing the fox by its tail. She chewed the piece she had been chewing at a bit more before she swallowed it, and then she looked at her and Galen's hands as they were holding on to each other. She looked back at where they had come from and then at Galen. She looked thoughtful as she let go of his hand for a moment to point at him. "Home?" she said, a bit confused but hoping that she was right, and then she pointed in the direction that they had come from.
 
Galen helped Kiera stand up. He watched her as she looked from their hands to where they had come from and back to him. And then she spoke, pointing to the direction of the cabin. His eyebrows raised with surprise and a grin crossed his face, his chest filling with happiness. "Yes, home," he nodded. "You're right!"

Their hands came together again and they started for the cabin. In about five minutes, they were back home and Gavin had laid the fox down where he could easily skin it
 
Once they were back in the cabin, Keira sat down and watched Galen and the fox, thoughtfully and at the same time a bit curious about what he was going to do.
 
Galen got a knife that he could cut the fur off with. It took a while, maybe about an hour, before everything was cut off. He threw out unneeded fluids and parts of the fox, but decided to keep the fur just in case would be handy someday. He prepared the meat with some spices before cooking it in a pan on the stove. He wondered if the girl watching him would like it. He hoped that she would, it was their dinner after all and he wanted to be the one that could give her new experiences.

After a while, the fox meat was cooked. He placed some on two plates and then got two cups of milk. He hoped that she wasn't lactose intolerant. Then, he smiled at her and motioned for her to join him on the small table, setting the plates down across from each other.
 
Keira stood up as he was ready, and walked over to him and sat down. She looked at the plate in front of her, a bit surprised at first, to expecting the fox to look like it did now, lying on the plate. She tilted her head some before she glanced at him, and then she looked at the milk in the glass. She looked at it a bit thoughtful before she took a piece of the meat on her plate and put it in her mouth.

After eating some of it, she looked at the glass if milk, carefully grabbing it with both of her hands. She drank slowly since she wasn't used to drinking from a glass like she was doing, and when she was done, she put the glass where it had been standing before she took it in the first place.
 
Galen ate a piece of his own dinner and savored the tender meat. It seemed like Kiera liked her food - she didn't make any displeased noises or facial expressions. And she was drinking the milk too, albeit a little slowly since she wasn't used to drinking from a cup. He took another bite and swallowed it before he spoke. "Do you like it?" he asked her, pointing to the meat.
 
Keira looked at him and then at the meat that he was pointing to. She nodded slightly after a few seconds of hesitation, not quite sure of what he meant at first. She drank the last of what was in the cup of hers before putting it down on the table again, and then she made sure to clear her plate as well.
 
Galen was pleased that she liked her dinner, even if it wasn't a very reassuring nod. They both cleared their plates and drinks before Galen stood and collected the dishes. He set them in the sink and rinsed them off, not really washing them yet.

"What would you like to do now?" he asked. "Do you have to go to the bathroom or anything?" It was then that he realized that she had some blood around her mouth from biting into the fox earlier. "Would you like to take a bath...?"
 
Kiera looked at him, thoughtful, unsure. She tried to remember what he had said before, about the bathroom. She nodded and walked out of the kitchen into the bathroom. Once she was in the bathroom, she looked around, not really knowing what to do, which made her feel slightly anxious. She bit her lip as she sat down on the floor, looking at the doorway waiting for Galen.
 
Galen followed her to the bathroom and found her sitting on the floor. He didn't know if she wanted to take a bath or pee, but figured that it was the latter since that's what they talked about more. He lifted the toilet seat for her before pointing at it and motioning for her to sit on it, with her nightgown pulled up to her stomach so it wouldn't get in the way. He realized he would possibly see her private areas, but it wouldn't bring any inappropriate thoughts to his mind.

If she would let him show her how to bathe or take a shower, he could also throw her night gown in the washer. He'd be able to wash it and dry it, and then she could wear his clothes while waiting, if she wanted.
 
Keira sat down on the toilet like she had before, and then peeing some. She sat there a bit more than what was necessary, making sure that nothing else was going to happen while she was sitting there. After making sure that she was done, she stood up and let her gown down. She glanced towards the shower slightly curious, and then she looked at Galen.
 
Galen waited until she was finished, letting her do her business. He looked away out of a habit of politeness when she was peeing. Once she stood up, he walked near the toilet and ripped some toilet paper off. "Hold on," he said. "I guess it doesn't really matter if you're going to take a shower, but you should wipe yourself with this." He said as he knelt down. He glanced at her before wiping away some fluid that had ran down her thigh and to her knee. He stopped when he got to the edge of the nightgown, deciding that he should just help her take a shower.

He threw the toilet paper in the toilet before flushing and walking to the tub. He turned the hot water on and then the cold so it wouldn't burn. He waited until it was just right before he looked over to her. "Do you want to try it? You can put your hand under the water and feel it. It's warm."
 
Keira flinched slightly as he flushed the toilet, but she quickly realized that it was the sound of the toilet. She looked at him as he turned the water on. She walked a bit closer and put her hand under the water, holding it there for a few seconds before taking it back. She held it under the water again, and looked at where the water was coming from, surprised. She tilted her head slightly since she wasn't used to water being warm - water wasn't warm even when it rained, neither in the lake or other places in the nature.
 
Galen smiled when Kiera put her hand in the water. She probably had never experienced warm water since she lived in the woods. He washed out the tub before putting the plug in so the water could fill up. "Do you want to take a bath?" he asked. "Here, just step inside and the tub will fill up soon. You'll have to take off your nightgown though..." He tried motioning with his hands and body to explain physically what he was saying to her.
 
Keira looked at him, thoughtful, for a moment, as he motioned with his hands what he was telling her. She got the gown off of her and looked at the water as it filled up in the tub. She stepped inside, a bit hesitating at first, and then she sat down, feeling the water with her fingertips.
 
Galen took the nightgown when Kiera took it off, throwing it in the hamper so he could wash it when he had the time. The toilet was next to the tub which gave Galen something to sit on besides the cold tile. He watched her for a moment before grabbing a cup and sitting on the edge of the bathtub. He filled it with water before slowly putting a hand under her chin. "Look up for me, girl," he said softly, tilting her head up. When she did so, Galen moved his hand to her hairline, acting as a barrier so water wouldn't get in her eyes when he poured the warm water over her head. He did that a couple of times to ensure that her hair was entirely soaked. Dirt was overwhelming the water, so Galen unplugged the bathtub to let the dirty water go down the drain. He didn't want her bathing in her own filth, after all.

He realized that she was probably cold after being doused with warm water and then it was taken away from her, so Galen kept pouring water over her until most of the dirt had washed off. Then, he let the water raise in the tub again.
 
Keira sat still as he washed her hair. She was surprised by all the dirt that went down through the hole in the tub, closing her eyes as she felt the water running down her naked body. Soon she didn't feel as cold anymore and she relaxed slightly.
 
Galen washed her hair and conditioned it lightly. He showed her the bottles of the soap, telling her what he was going to do with them before he used them. He then got some body wash and poured some in his hands. "Soap," he said as he lifted her hands gently out of the water. He rubbed the soap in his hands before he washed her hands. "Do you want to try and wash yourself? Or do you still want me to?" he asked. Though Kiera didn't know any better, Galen still didn't want to violate her in any way. He still needed consent from her.
