	She shakes her head no, only nervous. She didn't actually see anything threatening. After going through what she did, she was going to have issues.
- 
   
	[u]Okay... Well if you need anything just tug on my arm.[/u]
- 
   
	She nods, yawning subconsciously.

	*Eventually they make it back to the apartment. Sapphire closes the door and turns back to Mari.* [u]Alright... How about you change into some of the new clothes I got you? That dress looks like it isn't in very good shape... I can have someone fix it up for you.[/u]
- 
   
	She looks down at the dress, shrugging.
- 
   
	*She kneels in front of Mari, holding out the bags.* [u]Just pick what you want to wear and you can change in my room... I'll take care of that dress... I think it's best that you still keep it.[/u]
- 
   
	She nods, understanding. In a few minutes, she comes out wearing the snowflake sweater and the sweatpants.
- 
   
	[u]Awww... You look so pretty![/u] *Sapphire chimes in an uncharacteristically cheerful way.*

	Mari giggles happily, smiling.

	*Sapphire motions for Mari to follow her as she sits down on the couch.*

	Mari sits next to her, leaning on her.

	[u]So... I was wondering... Why don't you talk very often? Is it that you don't really know how to speak too well? Is it that you don't like to?[/u] *She asks, holding out her thumb for the first idea and her pointer finger for the second.*
- 
   
	Mari holds up her thumb.

	Edited by Skatch142: 1/1/2017 6:44:26 AM[u]Hm... I've never heard about a deaf person teaching someone how to speak English... I guess it'll be a first then.[/u]
- 
   
	She shrugs. There's a first time for everything.
- 
   
	[u]I'll start teaching you tomorrow... For now, is there anything else you need?[/u]
