A bath and a talk

I picked up the sacks before following the family as we reach the house Marcus told Cassidy to take the goats to the pen while he brings a less but still noticeable wobbly Henry inside and started sorting their returned belongings, I followed Marcus as he helped Henry inside, stopping just outside the door I looked myself over, blood was splashed across my body turning much of my white fur red, especially my front paws, along with the blood a lot of dirt had stained the fur on my legs, noticing my not coming instead Marcus asked to which I responded I was filthy, Marcus barked a laugh before telling to leave the sacks outside and go ask Cassidy for help cleaning up while he settled henry.

I dropped the sacks beside the door before walking towards the pen I could see Cassidy luring the goats into, walking as Cassidy closed the gate I asked her for help cleaning up to which she agree, following her to the back of the house I saw the door to a root cellar which Cassidy entered before quickly returning with a large bucket and 2 clean rags, "I'm just going to go wipe you down if you don't mind? "Probably the easiest way so sure." Cassidy then led me to a stone well I hadn't noticed before, I went ahead and pulled up the water before filling the bucket which we then brought into the grass so I could avoid getting mud on my paws why they were still wet.

While Cassidy wetted the rags I decided to take off my surprisingly clean bra to avoid getting it dirty while I got cleaned. Cassidy turned to me with a blush appearing on her face "what are you doing?" "I'm lucky it didn't get splashed in goblin blood so I don't want any blood soaked water dripping into it" Cassidy with her blush having lightened but still noticeable agreed that it was a good idea before handing me a cloth "start wiping down your upper half while I start on your lower half" most of the blood was on my upper body so by time I was done with my arms and face Cassidy had finished with my front paws and after a quick wipe of my mostly clean sides she moved to my rear.

I didn't realize Cassidy had stopped wiping me down until I had almost finished cleaning my upper body, after realizing she stopped I turned around only to notice her staring at my crotch, as I realized what she was looking at I went rigid for a moment before slamming my tail down and yelling "what are you looking at!?" she stiffened for a moment before realizing what she had been doing before a blush exploded across her face and she yelled "nothing!" and started lifting my back paw to finish wiping me down.

Cassidy finished up quickly after and avoiding my gaze she grabbed the bucket and rags before rushing away, feeling embarrassed I stood their letting myself airdry for a few minutes before I felt I was sufficiently dry to go inside, putting my bra back on I walked towards the farmhouse, I took a minute to look at the house, rectangular in shape the first floor was probably 30 feet by 15 feet with the door on the long side and made of cobblestone and mortar with wooden supports, the second floor had a 2 foot overhang on all sides from the first and was made of white plaster probably with thatch insulation and wooden support with a tile roof, it reminded me of medieval German houses id seen online.

going inside I saw the first floor was split into a kitchen and dining room with stairs in the middle helping to separate the 2, in the dining room I saw Henry sitting at the dining table and the 2 sacks on the floor with some of their contents on the table which mostly consisted of metal objects or preserved food, in the kitchen Marcus was boiling something in a kettle, both turned towards, Henry spoke first and with a smile jokingly told me I looked better without the blood, Marcus laughed a little then while picking up the kettle asked me where Cassidy was, thinking about what happened minutes ago I blushed slightly before telling them that she went to dump the water we used, accepting the answer Marcus grabbed 4 cups then moved past me towards the table, there were 5 chairs 1 on each narrow end 2 on a wide end and 1 on the other wide end but as I couldn't sit in a chair I sat on the ground next to the single chair on the wide end.

I asked Marcus what he made and he said an old family tea recipe as he began pouring a cup out for the 3 of us. I turned to Henry and asked how he felt "better than I was but still light headed." Marcus turned towards me. "He'll be fine in a few days, just lost a lot of blood." Henry turned to Marcus "like you didn't get shot twice." Marcus replied as he handed cups out "shot twice and I kept the arrows in, with all those cuts and bruises you have id have thought our friend here through you straight through the thorniest rose bush in the forest." I laughed a little at Marcus's reply and he turned towards me "Now that you've saved my kids, is their anything I can do to repay you?" I took a sip of the tea before saying "Right now I mainly need a place to stay and some information."
