[ It's a lot of information all at once, and she doesn't get what he means by saying that she can change things to what she likes. She only knows a little of that. She saw these animals once, and liked those. Horses, they were called.
It will take time for her to believe that she is safe there. That anywhere could possibly be safe from the Reavers and Dr. Rice. Her eyes widen as they walk into the room, and Tony keeps a safe distance, not wanting to spoil the moment she's having with Barnes. She nods a little. ]
Don’t worry about it. I’ll explain a little better in the morning.
[It’ll give him some time to think of how to explain it. On the plus side, Bucky has very personal experience with trying to figure out how to be a normal person after living so many years as an experiment, a weapon, a thing. While he hates that Laura may have had similar experiences, he thinks that maybe being able to relate will help.
He smiles a little when she nods, trying to be reassuring.]
Tony and I are right down the hall, if you feel like you don’t want to be alone. [Not scared; he doesn’t get the impression that she scares easily. Then again the threats in her life seem very real, as real as things that both he and Tony have faced.] Do you have clothes to sleep in, or do you want me to bring you a clean tee to use for tonight?
[ She nods a little when he says that he'll explain it in the morning. Going closer to the bed, she runs a hand over the comforter. It's very soft. She pokes a little at the numerous pillows on it. She's never had a bed like this. ]
Down the hall? [ She looks toward the door. They would be easy to find by scent if she needed to. Laura looks down at herself and tugs a little at her hoodie. ]
Down the hall, yes. [He points in order to illustrate the direction.] If anything bothers you, you can come get me and I'll stay with you.
[He doesn't think Tony will mind at all. They've spent plenty of nights curled around each other's nightmares to begrudge it of their newest guest.]
Tell you what, you can take a shower and get all cleaned up, and I'll come bring you a shirt to sleep in. In the morning we'll get you some new clothes that fit a little better. What do you say?
[ She doesn’t know why she would. She has bad dreams, but she’s never been familiar with the idea of comfort after them. They just happen. She has to cope with that.
She looks towards the bathroom, and nods. Tony mentions there being soap and a towel in there for her to use. She can use the bathrobe to wrap up when she comes out to get dressed. ]
I would like to get clean clothes please.
[ She does not like the smell of them, but she hasn’t been able to do anything about it. She’s also unused to people being so kind to her. ]
[He's under the impression that she's more of an independent soul, and that out of necessity. Bucky doesn't want to push, but he doesn't want Laura thinking she needs to handle everything on her own. They can help her, if she wants it. He thinks that maybe she does, and maybe she just needs to get used to the idea.]
If you put your dirty clothes in that basket in the corner, I'll come get them and wash them up so they'll be clean for you tomorrow. And then we can get you some other clothes too, so you have more than one outfit.
[He doesn't know if she'll want to keep her clothes once they've been cleaned, or discard them for entirely new things. But at least she'll be set for the night with the bathrobe, oversized as it is, and one of Bucky's shirts to sleep in. He'll move to get it while she's in the shower, leaving it for her on the bed and taking her clothes to be cleaned. He doesn't think she'll need him for the rest of the night — she'd looked tired enough to just curl up and sleep — but she knows how to find him if she does.]
[ She doesn't know anything else. They were left to their own devices more often than not. There weren't a lot of toys either. Some of her friends had them. Like the rubber bouncing ball. Or the man in the yellow suit with claws. ]
I can do that.
[ She goes and cleans up, sniffing at the nice smelling soaps and other things. It is nice to take time and get all the dirt and grime off of her. She gets out not long after, dries off with the towel, and wraps up in the bathrobe. It's soft and comfortable and makes her smile. After, she pads out into the room, and hops up on the bed to wait for the clothes. ]
