That won't happen to you

Chapter 88

They had brought back as many berries as they could carry, and Elise had taken them directly to cook.

The sun was already setting.

"Luca go out and help your father chop wood, will you?" she said to her son, then turned to Ahsoka.

"And you dear, go upstairs. I made you a bath. You're completely covered on dirt. You can put on the clothes that are next to it afterwards, all right?"

Ahsoka nodded slightly.

"Can you find your way, or do you want me to help you?" she asked again.

"I think I should be able to manage," Ahsoka said with a smile, feeling her way to the stairs.

How useless her ability to see with this strange power was when there was nothing alive around her that could be sensed.

But still she found the way without any problems. Her sense of touch had not left her yet.

It took her a moment to open the door, as she was not used to using a handle instead of a button, but she landed in the right room directly.

She smelled the soap.

So she closed the door, and felt around until she found the stone bathtub.

Along the way, she also discovered a towel that had been laid out ready for her, as well as what appeared to her to be pieces of clothing.

Carefully, she peeled herself out of the torn and blood-stained clothes she had been wearing for so long now. Then it was the turn of the bandages. The ointment had long since been absorbed.

Of course, she had been bathing in the river with her sister from time to time.

But when she carefully got into the water of the tub and noticed how pleasantly warm the water was in it, the bath in the ice-cold river water was not to be compared with it.

She carefully climbed all the way in and closed her eyes.

It was so pleasant. So nice and warm and cozy.

She leaned against the back wall of the tub and just enjoyed it for a moment.

Even the few wounds that were still open didn't sting, but were numb from the sudden warmth.

Ahsok straightened up again, and began to systematically wash dirt and crusted blood from her limbs.

It was much easier in the warm water than in the cold.

It didn't take long for her to finish.

She smiled slightly and enjoyed the water for a moment before rising.

She reached for the towel, but it slipped out of her hand and onto the floor.

She cursed softly.

Now she would wet the whole floor when she got out of the tub to retrieve it.

She stretched to maybe reach it after all.

As if by magic, it landed in her hand. Ahsoka shook her head.

This had happened to her a few times now with fruit. And it made no sense.

She stood in the tub and dried her upper body and her lekku and montrale.

She put one leg on the edge, dried it off as well, stepped out of the tub with it, and repeated that with the other.

Now all she had to do was get dressed.
