Style: Either.

[As promised, Cassian arrives at the fountain within ten minutes of his conversation with Ashura. He knew what he was doing was reckless and stupid, but he couldn't resist wanting to help this kid out. Even if it meant bringing

[He blinks and shakes himself out of his dark thoughts. The boy's enthusiasm brings a smile to him face.]

Calm down. I don't know what you're so excited about.

[circus_knives]

[He stands up and tugs his clothes back into place. He follows the direction of Ashura's finger and shakes his head.]

No, it's here in Espoir, in the other direction. Come on.

[He waves the boy towards him and then spins on his heel and starts off in the direction of the morgue. After a long moment he breaks the silence.]

Maybe we should try to find you some clean clothes as well. Or at least wash the ones you're wearing.

[circus_knives]

[Growing up in poor and bad conditions and taught Cassian the basics in taking care of himself, and that included how to keep his clothes reasonably clean.]

So I'll help you. I'll loan you something of mine to wear while your clothes dry.

[circus_knives]

[He raises an eyebrow at the boy's reaction but didn't comment. They were drawing nearer to the morgue and the closer they got the more tense Cassian became. When the morgue comes into view, Cassian stops and glances at Ashura over his shoulder.]

Maybe you'd rather wash your clothes now and get it over with instead of waiting until tomorrow?

[He wants to delay the inevitable a little longer.]

[circus_knives]

[He nods and continues walking towards the morgue. He glances at Ashura over his shoulder.]

Stay here for a few minutes, I'll come back with some water!

[He disappears into the building for a few minutes before returning with a large bucket of water swinging at his side.]

It's better to do this while we still have some sun. The clothes dry faster that way.

[He explains as he sets the bucket down and unbuttons his black jacket. Cassian is a bit bigger then Ashura so the coat should cover him well enough while his clothes were wet. He hands the coat to Ashura.]

Here. Give me your dirty clothes and put this on for now. [A bar of soap appears from his pocket and he works on getting a nice lather in the water.]

[circus_knives]

[He takes the clothes from Ashura and drops them into the bucket. He rolls up his sleeves to his elbows before sticking his hands into the water and works on scrubbing the clothes.

He glances over at the boy and scoots over a bit to give him better access to the bucket.]

All you gotta do is scrub the clothes real good in the water. The soap will take care of the rest.

[[ooc: Oh yes, I know. xD And he'll probably find that out soon, but not quite yet.]]

[circus_knives]

It's no trouble. It quite simple really.

[He continues on in silence for a few moments.]

So who's Yasha? Your guardian?

[circus_knives]

[That's a strange way of putting things.]

Are there a lot of people who don't want you around? [Then he remembered what Ashura said about his family and it made sense.]

It's good there was someone looking out for you. [He'd never had someone like that.]
