Nero Sapienti:
After Miss Willow pointed him in the direction of a spare bedroom that was connected to a bathroom, he located the room and found himself faced with something quite foreign to him: a normal, everyday bathtub. He had heard about them and seen them in store windows while living on the streets, but he had never the chance to experience a bath in one.
He quickly filled the tub once he figured out how to turn the water on and got into the water. He wasted no time is washing the layers of dirt and grime off of his skin with the equally strange soap. Shampoo and conditioner were the next things he had to understand, but a couple of minutes later (involving him ducking his head under the water to get the shampoo out of his eyes several times), he was clean.
Though the water felt refreshing, he rushed to get out and dry off. Pizza was something he had only heard about; supposedly it was very good and fun to eat. He didn't want to miss the opportunity he had been fortunate enough to be presented with.
A smile started to grow.
The entire situation was a strange one. He had never expected to be welcome so kindly, and had never expected to be treated so well. His life, which had once been so full of despair, was now filled with hope.
He had no idea where he was supposed to go for the legendary pizza; he guessed the best thing to do was find Raven, Miss Willow, Ollie, or Esther and ask them for more information. With that in mind, he raced out of his room.
And ran right into someone.
The two of them fell to the ground, neither having expected the other's sudden appearance. Looking up, he smiled when saw who he had the luck of bumping into.
María.
In retrospect, he faintly recognized the hallways Miss Willow had directed him down, and it made sense he would be near her, seeing that the two were both new to Miss Willow's Home for Forgotten and Abandoned Children.
"I'm sorry for running into you," he apologized as he got to his feet. As he watched her do the same, he found himself faced with something he had never experienced before. It was a strange, foreign thing to experience, just like the rest of the day had been.
For some unknown reason, his cheeks were warm.
