Elijah gave Ruth a small smile. "I am sure it was just a mistake and he was thinking more about food. Maybe he also didn't want to wake you. You were up so late last night." He patted the boy's head lightly. "It'll be ok buddy. By the time your mom is finished, I'll have some delicious breakfast waiting for you both. How does that sound?"
He looked up at Ruth. "If you want to wash up as well, you can. I unfortunately don't have any clothing to change into. But we will just do our best, alright?" He rocked Lucy lightly to hopefully keep her entertained and calm. "Lucy can help me in the kitchen." He said lightly hoping to help Ruth feel better.
