Really, if she wasn't so cute, the staring would almost be getting a little creepy by the time she finally does make a move.

Alright then. How about you finish your soup, then we'll see about getting you cleaned up a little? Afraid I don't really have any other clothes in your size on hand, but I should at least be able to find you a shirt or something you can wear as a night dress til we can get your things washed.
