Noko looked up at him and put the washed dish onto her drying rack. She sighed and stepped back, allowing him to use the sink, "I wasn't asking for that you know..."

She looked at him and nodded, "Thank you..." She leaned against the counter and watched as he started to clean his dish. She sighed, "I feel awfully useless when I can't even use my arm."

She rubbed the bridge of her nose and walked into the living room. She smiled at him, "Do you want to play cards when you are done?" she looked at him, "Oh you only have to clean your plate. I'll clean everything else when my side isn't as sore.... I mean you already cooked breakfast... I think you've made up for staying the night."
