Christine had seemed in thought as she looked over what had been a half hearted storage room when she heard the chime. "Ah, Ellie, is that you?" She called out cheerfully and headed back down to see her. She smiled brightly. "Ah, you weren't long at all! Wonderful. Well, let us first get you washed. It will be easier for us to look at clothing if they are not too worried about them getting dirty." The woman said as she gestured to her hands. "No worries, I've already got things in the wash room, and I think I found a dress for you. I still have a few things with fond memories in a trunk so a dress I had in my younger days will be perfect." She said and waved for her to follow. In the wash room there, she started the water and let it warm and fill the tub as she gestured to the variety of soaps and things for her hair. "This to clean it, and this to add nutrients and stuff to make your hair look nicer and smoother." She said as she knew some of them didn't have such things, her own family didn't until she moved out on her own.
She continued gesturing to things the girl could use and what they did and by the time she was done a very warm bath was filled. "Alright, and here is your outfit." She held up a rich green velvet dress with draping sleeves and some stockings and black boots that would match the look. "It might be a little more extravagant than needed for the day, but you won't be cleaning just yet. It's perfect for a shopping trip in town." The woman sighed happily, "And it's nice to see someone wear it again." She looked to Ellie, hoping she hadn't overwhelmed her. "You will be alright now, dear?"
