Project Genesis

No, ZX12 actually knew how to use a towel, it was pretty self explanatory and Victor had always wanted her to be clean. She took the towel from Jenny and began to dry herself off, keeping her eye on Jenny the whole time. Was Jenny happy with what she was doing?

ZX12 left the towel over her head - the swaddling felt kind of nice - and glanced over at Jenny's outreached hand. She had only been taught one way of being held by the hand, and that was rough. She raised her arm and slotted her wrist into Jenny's hand, so that she could pull her about.

"Yes, she does," Mary agreed as she cooked something in their small kitchen. "Jenny, honey, I brought some clothes in from the car. Could you show her how to get dressed?" There was a jumper and leggings, and some undies on the bed behind Jenny. No bra, though, because Mary's bust didn't compare to ZX12's. She was very much enjoying this relaxing head drying, and was still rubbing her hand where Jenny had so gently held it.

ZX12's hair was really big and poofy after it had been dried, and she clearly wasn't used to it because she was running her hands through it a lot. She observed Jenny dressing and then stepped into the undies she was holding out. Wearing clothes was always something others had done, so this was kind of exciting for her.

ZX12 felt so comfy and warm in these leggings and oversized jumper. She kept looking at where the sleeves rolled over her hands and made it look like she had giant mitts. These were Jenny's leggings so they had a tail-hole too, but they were a bit tighter because of ZX12's more womanly frame. The jumper smelled of both Mary and Jenny. ZX12 couldn't help pulling the neck up over her face and breathing deeply.

"It's nothing great, I'm sorry," Mary said, carrying the plates over to the table. "There wasn't much food left in the car." ZX12 was unsure if she was allowed to sit on a chair rather than the floor, but she figured it was okay so sat next to Jenny. Mary had made some quesadillas, some with cheese and some with fish from cans in them. ZX12 was drawn to the fish ones, even though to Mary they didn't smell great, and she picked one straight up. "Oh, no! Careful! It's hot!" Mary cautioned. They were, and ZX12 dropped it quickly with a wince.

It was only going to fall back onto the plate anyway, Jenny didn't need to do that. ZX12 watched Jenny blow on the food, and then gingerly followed suited. Oh. Oh wow. What was this delicious meal?! She had eaten all of it within a few seconds.

[Yeah I have no idea why you thought it'd go on the floor.] ZX12 licked her fingers and looked longingly at the remaining ones. Mary smiled at her and gave her a nod, at which she dove in and snatched up another. This time she held it gently and blew on it before showing down. "Not too fast or you'll give yourself a tummy ache." Oh, that wasn't good. ZX12 slowed down and this time enjoyed the flavour even more. She ate four of them before they were all gone, after which she looked very drowsy and doughy eyed.

ZX12 rubbed her eyes and nodded slowly. Mary got up to clean the cooking utensils, and then told Jenny to show the girl how to clean her teeth. The fresh minty taste was very pleasant, as well as the feeling of her teeth being so clean that they squeaked. She then took off her leggings and looked at the bed. "You can sleep there," Mary said. "If you're not comfortable sharing with either of us, we won't- Oh." ZX12 was already pulling Jenny and Mary in beside her.

"Try to get some rest," Mary urged. It would be hard for ZX12 after all the trauma she'd experienced, she might find it difficult to trust the two of them enough to fall asleep, or she might be plagued by nightmares the whole time- oh, she was asleep already. She had her tail around one of Mary's legs and was cuddling onto Jenny. "Wow," Mary whispered. "She's... Wonderful. Just like you, Jenny."

Mary smiled. "What did I do to deserve you?" she whispered, stroking Jenny's cheek. "You sweetheart. Alright, get some rest. Another long day tomorrow." And going back to the farm might be difficult. Who knew how long they would be able to stay there before they would have to go even more into hiding?

ZX12 slept all through the night, and was very tranquil when they got up and got in the car the next morning. They sipped tea as they drove through the outskirts of the city and then out into the countryside. ZX12 was quietly captivated by everything she saw, even a rubbish truck as they passed it, and the concept of traffic lights, and bridges! She practically flew out of the car when they finally got to their farmhouse that afternoon. "Jenny, why don't you show her around?" Mary suggested as she unpacked their stuff. "I'll get lunch."
