Korr had a car. Even though it was an entirely different realm, as they explained, they had taken a few things from haralam that they like including automobiles technology and medical science advancement.
He drove the car around and Adeline sat in the back along with her aunt. She looked at everything and was fascinated. Even though the people and the area were not as frightened as it seemed before, from when she was in the infirmary she felt it better to be outside.
They drove around for a while and the shops faded away as houses bigger than the previous ones came in view. She glanced at Korr who was driving easily and realised that he must be a well off man to be able to live in such nice houses but nevertheless she did not assume more than that because she did not know anything about the world.
She gulped as they finally rolled to a stop. This was going to be her new home and hopefully she would be able to enjoy it more than she had done in the palace.
"There we go," Korr said as he parked the car in front of a huge mansion and got out. He opened her aunt's door first and then opened hers. "This is the house that you would be staying in for now." He smiled and Adeline smiled back.
"Thank you." She appreciated it.
" Come on now," Tessa smiled exactly, " I can't wait to show you the room I have prepared for you. Trust me it is everything you always wanted."
She smiled politely, now feeling tired and just followed her aunt. It was the thought of a bedroom that made her walk.
"I know that you're tired now so how about we leave the tour of the house for tomorrow?" Tessa offered while giving her a knowing look and an adaline could not feel more grateful to her aunt.
They arrived to her room and she grinned at the sight. Her aunt had truly outdone herself. The room was a mix of vintage and elegance. White, baby pink and gold dominating were the colours.
"It's so pretty." She smiled but Tessa could see the tiredness on her face.
"It's okay, baby," she cupped her cheeks and kissed Adeline's head, "have a quick warm shower and then go to bed, yeah?"
Adeline nodded and the two exited her room. She took the quickest shower possible to mankind and wash her body and her face. As soon as she hit the bed she was out like a light.
*******
She breathed in loudly as she opened her eyes. Stretching her entire body she moaned as the cracks were heard. It was a wonderful sleep.
She set up on the bed and pulled the covers. As soon as her feet touch the ground she immediately put them back up.
What? She frowned and touched the floor with her hand. It was warm. The floor in this world was warm?
A bit skeptical about it, she placed her feet down one by one and when something did not happen she stood up and walked to the pouch where a fluffy sweater was kept. It was a long sweater and enough to provide her want in this weather.
She open her door to walk out of the room. When a small window came that overlooked the outside world she noticed that it was the early hours of dawn. As she was walking to find the stairs she did a quick calculation. She had fallen asleep last evening and woken up in the early hours of dawn. She must have slept for a good 10 to 12 hours.
She found the stairs and the kitchen. But no one was there. Still, she try to find some kind of pot to boil the water.
"Good morning,"
She gasped and jumped in fright. "Oh my," she stared at Korr. "You scared me."
He grinned sheepishly, "I apologise, from next time onwards I will make a little sound while walking."
She laughed at that but then stopped when she noticed that he was not laughing which meant that he was serious about it. Oh.
"What are you trying to find?" He asked as he glanced at the drawer she had opened.
"A pot. . Pan maybe? I just wanted to boil some water." She answered shyly. It was his house and she was rummaging across his cabinets without his permission.
"Ah," he nodded and pointed to the water color. "The cooler has the option for warm and hot water. You can take your pick."
She turned to it, curious and found out that he was right. She took a glass that was in the cabinet about it as he pointed and throws hot water. It was hot. She had to switch back to warm.
"Thank you," she said with a small smile on her face and took a seat at the bar stool. There was a small counter on which both sides two bar stools each were kept. "Why do you have a water cooler like that?"
Korr laughed. "This world can be a lot cold then your winter is. Which is why we have the technology of heated floors and warm water everywhere in the house. It's usually found in those houses by human mates are."
" Okay," she nodded slowly in understanding. Now, the awkward silence fell over them and she waited for her water to finish. What should she say?
"I. . Uh . ." She watched Korr who rubbed the back of his neck and then cleared his throat, "I know about your father's passing and I would never say to take me as one but in this world Adaline, I am your guardian and I would really like it if you come to me for any kind of problems."
" Oh," she said it quickly, not even thinking it through. She gulped and lowere her eyes. "Having a father and having a guardian for two different things. If she took him as her guardian then there was no need for her to ever take him as her father.
"Hey," he patted her hand and she looked at him, "I am just here for your problems adaline. Just those."
She smiled at those words, the tears build up. "I think you should back away now. Because I seem to have a lot of them."
