Seeing as she doesn't technically have a real body or anything like that, made of smoke and getting to choose how she looks at any time of day, Ala looks spotless where she stands in front of the door where she had reformed, completely dry, hair fluffed, not muddy at all. That doesn't help Rio though, so she takes the other girl by the wrist— her hand is warm, slightly cooler at the fingertips, but solid just like any person's hand would feel— to gently tug her inside the bathroom towards the sinks. ]
Like this is okay, right? Ah! What color popsicle do you want?
[ Instead of washing her hands, she goes to up on top of the sink, swinging her legs beneath her. ]
