By time Adeline has finished scrubbing the slime from her hair, lunch has almost finished.

Gally stands by the door leading into the bathrooms, waiting patiently for the girl as he leans against the wooden structure, holding two plates in his hands.

The door opens, causing the builder to whip his head around just as Adeline peers her head out.

He notices that she is still just wearing a towel around her body, and his eyes immediately shoot up to her face.

Adeline brings her right hand up curves it around the frame, resting her cheek against her knuckles. "Did you bring me lunch?" she asks with a small smirk playing on her lips.

"Yea, I, uh, thought you might want to have lunch by the tree? Since, you know, all the boys are in the kitchen and they'll probably not leave you alone."

"Gally, are you asking me on a date by the tree?" she teases, her smirk turning into a cheeky grin as she speaks.

"Shut up" the boy mutters, shifting his weight onto his right leg. "Do you want to or not?"

"I'd love to" Adeline responds before standing up straight. "But first, I need a favour?"

"What is it?"

"Well, I forgot to bring a change of clothes in here with me, and all I have are the clothes from this morning which I don't really want to put on again. Can you nip into my room and grab me some clean ones please?"

Gally merely nods his head, not saying a word as he spins around and walks towards the Homestead.

Still carrying a plate in each hand, the builder turns his body as he reaches the door, using his backside to open it before twirling back around.

Instead of going into Adeline's room, however, he walks into his own. Placing both plates on his dresser, the builder quickly rummages through his drawers, grabbing whatever clothes he can find that would be suitable for the girl.

Once a small pile of clothes have been thrown into his bed, Gally closes the drawer over. He turns around to the bed, bundling up the clothes and stepping out of his room.

As he approaches the bathrooms, he sees Adeline still stood at the doorway. 

"I didn't want to go raking through your things so I brought you some of my clothes" he says, handing the pile of fabric over to her. "I left lunch in my room so I'll go grab that and I'll just meet you back here?"

"Sounds good" Adeline says with a smile. Taking a step back, she turns her body around and begins pacing towards the shower room to get changed, allowing the door to softly slam behind her.

She makes quick work of getting dressed, giggling slightly at the way Gally's shirt reaches half way down her thighs, but also huffing at having to turn the legs of his trousers up three times to fit her legs.

Quickly hanging the towel up, Adeline attempts to run her fingers through her hair, wincing everytime they catch onto a knot.

The sound of someone kicking the bottom of the door causes the girl to flinch. "Coming" she shouts out, throwing her hair over her shoulder and pacing towards the exit. 

Opening the door, she is, once again, met by the sight of Gally, holding two plates in his hands and smiling nervously at her.

"You ready?" he asks, handing her a plate.

"I was thinking" she says, accepting the plate as the pair stay walking towards the forest.

"Never a good sign" Gally mutters, earning a small smack on the arm from the girl.
