Liz and Liam landed outside of the bathroom door and and Liz let go of his hand, "Again, forgive me. Teleporting is ze easiest vay to get anyvhere fast. Zis is vhere you may take your bath. I vill be back in about an hour. I have business to attend to in ze lower levels. Everyzing zat you need is inside, but if you need anyzing else, zere is a comm system next to each bath. Just page ze infirmary." She had said this all at her normal pace, though, thinking now, she may have spoken a little quickly for the thin man, "Did you catch all of zat?"

After the wonderful little sound-effect, Liam realized they actually were in another room, to which he took surprisingly well.
"OK... that was strange" He looked around and approached a wall, running his fingers along it and asking "This really is here, right? I actually am in this room?" He approached the toilet and flushed it, watching the water swirl. "Yeah, I am. That's an amazing gift, Elizabeth"
Liam removed his backpack, which hit the ground with a dull thud to reveal something slightly more disgusting than the hilts going into his back: the tips of the blades were coming out the back. They had little traces of blood, but looked to be clean cuts that weren't effecting his health. His shirt had little slices in it where other blades had occupied time in his body.
Liam seemed pre-occupied running his hands along the walls to make sure he was actually there, before replying "Bath in here, one hour, business in lower floors, everything's in here, comm for infirmary. Got it" Once he was certain they were actually in the room, he turned back to Liz and smiled "Got it. I don't think I can say thank you enough times for all you've done. I hope to pay you back for this soon"

The teleporter watched the boy remove the bag and she narrowed her eyes as she saw the blades. This truly was a new mutation. It would have to be more thoroughly examined once Liam was clean. She however did not shrink away or shout out when she saw it. She knew too well what that was like.
Liz shook her head to his statement, her eyes soft in understanding, "I vas vonce in almost ze same place you are. A kind man named Christopher Stanley took me in at anozer mansion. Ve became like a family und ve later moved our family here. Zis is a place for people like us; people who have novhere else to go or novone else to turn to. Zere is not need for you to pay me back."

Liam looked into Liz's eyes for a few moments, staring up with a sense of wonder before looking away, those eyes bringing back unwanted memories. They were just all too similar
"I'm just glad someone like you would be able to be fortunate enough to find someone. You deserve better than to be out there alone..." There was a pause before he looked back up with a faint smile
"I believe you said something about business elsewhere, and I don't want to hold you. Besides, I'm looking forward to taking a bath"

Liz laughed and ran her hands through her dark blond hair, "I'll be more fortunate vhen my nightmares are gone, but yes... I'll tell you about zat later. For now, just relax. Gute bye." She took a few steps back and teleported away.

Liam watched as he was suddenly alone again and couldn't help but smile. He turned the tap, and soon some warm water began to enter the tub as he began to remove the knives from his body. Four had hilts in his chest, while two more were in his thighs, close to his knees. Once removed, after a few drops of blood, the wound closed up soundly, leaving little more than a scar as he submerged himself, untying his mess of hair.
---+Later+---
Liam stepped out of the tub, looking back at the now brown water. He had to refill it once before from the amount of dirt that came off him, and he now fear that it may clog up a drain. That would be a problem, he thought as he drew a towel and wrapped it around his lower body and began to try and de-mat hair using a knife. Now that it wasn't in dreds after the bath, his hair formed a mane behind him, the hair a thick mass. His knife jammed a time to many and he stopped, considering it a lost cause.
Seeing this as a fine opportunity, Liam refilled the tub with about 3 inches of water and began to wash his clothing, along with a similar change of clothes in his bag. When he pulled out the spare set, a small book fell out of the top, caught in the layers. Liam noticed it and set it aside. After washing his clothes and hanging them on the shower rod, had took the book and turned to a blank page and dated the top of the page in scarwled handwriting. He began to create a journal entry that looked like it was written by a sixth grader. His hand shook as he wrote with a dusty pen, trying hard to make the letters the way he'd seen them in books. It was only going so-so

After finishing with his journal, Liam changed back into his now dry change of clothes, which was a ratty T-shirt and a poorly kept pair of slacks. He put everything back in the place that they had been when he had arrived in there before packing up his things and testing the door handle. It was unlocked.
"Like I expected otherwise..." He muttered before stepping out into the hall and sitting on the floor, not wanting to wander, but not wanting to stay in the bathroom either. So he just stayed by the door frame, listening to the sounds of the building

Liz teleported down the hall from the bathroom and was surprised to see Liam sitting in the hallway. She quickly transformed back to her human form and walked over to him, "Vas are you doing? Are you ok?"

Liam looked up, slightly startled, before smiling at her again, calming. He stood slowly, brushing off a little bit of floor dirt. "I finished up in there and wanted to open it up to who ever else may need to use it. And I wanted to get a view of this place a little more. It's just so nice looking here..."
His voice trailed off for a moment before he snapped back into reality. "Anyways, I hope whatever you needed to do went fine. You may need to check your drain up here, though. I might have put a lot of dirt into your plumbing..."

At zis point in time, zere is only zree people here: you, me, und my mate, Chaze. He is currently downstairs vaiting for us. I made breakfast so come on." She held her arm out for him to take.

'Only three?" The thought passed through him with an odd realization. He really hadn't seen anyone else while he was out in the hall. He mentally shook off the notion and placed his hand on her arm as instructed and gave a nod. He would have liked to walk, but this would save time. There would be time to walk later

Liz's smiled and, in a flash of smoke and brimstone, the pair vanished.
