*giggles*.. I won't say anything!

*walks into the shower room still chuckling to herself*

*She runs the shower to temperature and finds lots of deep fluffy towels and places them on the heater to warm*

*She finds some of Pauls casual jeans and a jumper.. some clean underwear and socks..in a cupboard below the wardrobe she finds some trainers she figures might fit Ben*

You can come in now..

*staggers in* wow! this room is huge! do i have to wear those?

.. *looks at the clothes*.. until you are fit enough to return to your quarters.. yes.. why? What is wrong with them?

nothing, they are very fine garments. its just im not really used to anything other than my dirty old leather and rough canvas clothes. are you sure the king will not mind?

He has plenty more.. and of course he won't mind! *smiles gently*

You shower and I will see if I can find us something to eat

*Lil leaves Ben in private*

*Goes to the Knights dining room*
