I crawled after him as fast as I could, but still couldn't match his pace. Lance stopped a few steps in front of me and let out a frustrated sigh.

"You're so slow."

He walked over to me, grabbed my collar, and dragged me into the connected bathroom.

Once inside, Lance let go of me.

"Look at the rack to your right."

I looked up at it, and saw clothes neatly folded on it.

The clothes looked like something a girl would wear... or a feminine guy.. It looked like a dark gray sweater, possibly a turtleneck. Alongside it, was a pair of black, skinny jeans.

I looked back to Lance and smiled. Lance smiled back at me.

"I'm sorry I couldn't find time to buy underwear. I hope you're okay with going without for a while."

I swallowed and timidly nodded my head in agreement.

"Always such an obedient boy. If you're good, I'll take you with me and you can pick some out yourself."

My eyes widened with surprise. "L-Like...outside..?"

"Mhm! At a store. There'll just be a lot of people there, so just be prepared, okay?"

I nodded my head and he smiled at me gesturing his eyes at the tub.

"You'll be much better to take than Marcy, because you can at least hold a decent conversation. She can't even make coherent words."

"Marcy"... That must be...

"Sai," Lance interrupted as I was stepping into the tub, "You remember how to wash yourself, yeah?"

I nodded my head with a pressed smile.

"Good. Can you do that while I take care of a few things?"

I confirmed with another nod.

"I will be retrieving you in thirty minutes. That should be more than enough time for you to shower and get dressed."

I gave one more nod and he left, closing the door behind him.
