*Hazel smiled.*
"I don't know what silk is, but it sounds nice."
*She sniffed the bottle, just like Marie had done.*
"Mmmmmmmm. It smells goood."
*She beamed.*

Marie handed Hazel the ribbon "That's silk, the material" walking next to the bath Marie poured in a sizable amount of bubbles underneath the running water and waved Hazel toward her.
"Watch."

Hazel touched the ribbon gently, afraid to tear it. It felt soft and smooth against her skin. Then she gave it back to Marie, for safe keeping.*
"It feels soft to touch."
*She smiled and leaned against the bath tub to watch what bubbles was.*

*Hazel brightened up in a big, impressed smile. She reached out her tiny hand to touch the bubbles and laughed.*
"It tickles."

Marie smiled "Mmhm" she looked at Hazel and turned around "now you get those dirty clothes off and get in the tub young lady" she said in a fake adult voice and then giggles.

Hazel giggled when she heard the fake adult voice. Marie was a very good imitator.
"Yess sir mam!!!"
She replied and took of her worn-out rags. They were so old that they fell from her body. Then she climbed into the tube and sat down. Her entire body was covered in bruisings, burn marks and scars. There also was flog marks on her back.
"Ready."

Marie turned around and smiled, she walked over to the tub and handed Marie a soap bar and a sponge "Use these to clean body and face while I wash your hair mmkay?" Marie went around the tub and stood on a stool behind Hazel and grabbed a tall bottle of shampoo and began squeezing it on to her head.

Hazed did as she was told. She scrubbed her face and body as hard as she could, making sure to use plenty of soap and water. It felt good to be clean, but now the bruisings were even more visible. And there were more of them, now that they weren't covered in dirt.

Marie looked down at Hazels arms and frowned as she began to scrub the girls head "Make sure to get be'ind yer ears, that's what Papa always tells me anyways, says we always forget about that place cause we don't see it."
She grabbed a comb and tried to comb some of the knots out, but it would have to wait until she put in the conditioner. "I'm sorry iffin I 'urt you."

Hazel nodded and scrubbed behind her ears as she was told. She even scrubbed INSIDE her ears, as well as she could with a sponge. She sat still in the tub, and allowed Marie to take care of her hair.*
"It doesn't hurt, Marie. I've felt much worse than this. It's all right."

"See tha's wot I'm 'fraid of, I don' want chu thinking that washing 'air is loike getting 'urt" she smiled softly "you see?" She continued scrubbing her hair and pulled it all up on top of her hair "Should probably let it sit, so it get's extra clean."

Hazel smiled.
"It doesn't hurt when you wash my hair. You should have seen some of the ladies at the orphanage. We used to call them pullies. Because they were bullies who pulled our hair out. At least that's what it felt like."

Hazel looked up at Marie, beaming with joy.
"I think I will like it here."
She replied.
"You are the nicest girl I have ever met, Marie."
