"No touch me. Not hide who I am. Never have." She shook her head slightly. She didn't want to be messed with and honestly hated the idea of hiding who she was. To be honest, she had no desire to ever put herself in a place where she had to hide who she was. As for her abilities, she wasn't even sure entirely what she was able to do still.

"As I said, Lucien will make him leave you alone, but eventually Gargou will ask and it will be your choice" she looked at her "There's no shame in protecting yourself" she added, referring to her saying she won't hide what she is "But the point of this place is not having to, while you're here at least"

Andrea nodded, not letting it on that the way it sounded was that she was going to leave. Right at that point, she didn't have anywhere else to go. She rubbed her arms gently before looking down. ~I can go back to my room?~ She left it as a question to make sure she wouldn't get in trouble for leaving the room.

Becci looked at her "Of course. You're your own person here. and you were told that you didn;t even have to come. If this had been enough exploring for the day then go" she said with a slight smile "Besides, it's already quite late. The house will be going to sleep quite soon"

Andrea nodded once and quickly slipped off back in the direction of her room. Once in that general area she took a wrong turn, still trying to figure out her way around the place. She stumbled slightly and finally just slumped down on the floor a few tears rolling down her face as she wrapped her arms around herself and finally let the emotions flow.

A hand reached down offering her a handkerchief. Lucien leaned against the wall beside her and said nothing at first, just standing there, looking straight ahead as he offered her the item
~It's overwhelming. Crying is normal~ he said after a moment, his voice soft.

Andrea was startled when she saw the handkerchief. She took it and thanked him as she dried her eyes. ~I did not expect to ever see others of our race again after what happened. All of you are willing to blend in or have some sort of purpose. I do not know what to do. You do not expect of me what is normal for me now.~

~Take your time~ He said simply ~Stay in your room as long as you like, we'll bring you food. Explore if you wish the doors are open and anyone can help you find your way back. If you find it more normal you're welcome to assist with chores if you wish.~ he looked at her "Being Free will take getting used to. Do whatever you need to adjust. It's really no bother"

Andrea nodded once as she carefully pushed herself up. She stumbled slightly, her body still being weak from la of proper nutrition and the fact that everything was so overwhelming. "I will sleep. Thank you." She glanced towards his for a moment before she finally scurried off back to her room. She curled up on the floor near the window and it didn't take her long to fall asleep. She had the room warming thanks to her abilities but even that eventually faded as she fell into a deeper sleep, her body shivering slightly.

Lucien sat himself outside her door, realizing he had forgotten to point out that she should light her fireplace and not sure she would. When he felt her room grow colder he used his own heat to try and warm the room a bit for her, sitting there all night going over letters as he kept her room warm

When the morning came around, Andrea was up at first light. She stretched slightly, glancing around as she noticed the room was warm. Tilting her head slightly she shrugged it off and went about getting ready as she would have when she was a slave. She slipped out of the room, not realizing he was there and slipped down towards the kitchens. It didn't take long before she was doing what she would have done as a slave and was cleaning in the kitchen, working as she hummed a soft phoenix lullaby to herself as she worked.

The servants in the kitchen were a little shocked when she showed up and started working, not exactly sure what to do. Eventually they shrugged it off and let her held
"Lord Lucien never slept in his bed last night" they gossiped among themselves
"Well you know him, always working lately" another said, as they all then proceeded to try and guess what kept him from his room
"Would you like some breakfast, Andrea?" Lucien asked, coming in, ignoring the giggles as the servants realized he could have heard them and rushed to get back to work

Andrea finished up and dusted off her hands as she put the cleaning supplies away. She blinked slightly as she looked towards Lucien and shrugged one shoulder. "If it is okay, yes please." She responded, her English with that being a bit more clear, especially since she had used it more in the past day then she had ever.

Lucien smiled and motioned for her to follow going into the dining room where the other two already were,a traditional Phoenix breakfast laid out on the table
"You look like you didn't sleep "Becci frowned looking at him, then smiled at Andrea "how did you sleep?"

Andrea followed after him silently, glancing down at her hands and brushing them off slightly as she followed him to the dinning room. Once there, she sat down silently before glancing towards Becci when she spoke to her. "Fine." She said softly before looking towards Lucien briefly then down at her hands once more.
