[ The smile that forms in Rei's tiny lips is silencing the rowdy rumbling that was resounding deep within. His eyes narrow in mere fondness ー the thankful feeling that she's here with him right now washes over him. He grasps her hand in his tightly, keeping her close to him.
He swears, he'll do anything to protect her. ]
Let's get ya somethin' warm to drink too, yea?
[ Mondo never lets go of Rei's hand the entire time, even as his palms are getting damp (sorry Rei...). It probably takes about 10 minutes to reach their destination, and yet it feels like it's been an hour or so. The lady greeting them after Mondo knocks on the door immediately lets them in, without asking any further questions other than whether or not she's hurt. The moment Mondo says no, she pushes Rei gently towards where the bathroom is and shoos Mondo away.
"This is for hot water, and this is for cold. You can switch here for shower and for bath. I'll wash your clothes and get you something to wear tonight, so take your time in there, okay?" Her voice is gentle, just like the smile she's giving Rei. ]
