Natalia let out a startled shriek and struggled for only a moment before realizing who it was. If he wanted to Hirt her, there was now way she could resist.
When he started brushing her fur and hair, she relaxed entirely and started to growl happily, only wincing whenever he pulled out the knots in her messy, muddy, blonde hair. Her whole body was covered in Dirt actually. It was rather hard to stay clean when not only are you homeless, but even other homeless, humans only of course, would beat her and call her worthless.

Aries. Loosened his grip when she relaxed, " when were done here well bathe" he smiled brushing her fur until it was smooth and knot free. "There your looking better already " he nodded and ran the brush through his own bum length hair letting the straight silky strands fall freely to his waist. "Turned well go to the shop and start work after your bathed, " then dinner and bed for the night"

She nodded and gently stroked her furry fingers through her hair. It was course and rough from dirt but it felt nice to not have it all tangled.
As far as she knew, it had only been clean once before and she had gotten several minuscule compliments on it, which had meant the world to her though.

The seamstress came back with a beautiful silk robe , it was light and flowing with golden trim, Aries smiled and took it from her paying the woman, "let's go to the bath house dear we mustn't put this on until tour fully clean. " ARIES turned and started out the door almost forgetting about his ribbon ties. "I'LL send the girl to pick up my ties later" and with that he was out the door waiting for Natalia.

Natalia looked at the beautiful peplos with a slight whimper. Surely this couldn't be for her, and he certainly couldn't expect anyone to work in a forge with that. It would rip so easily, and blacksmithing was a man's job only.
She followed him wordlessly though and kept her eyes respectfully towards the ground.

When Aries got to the bath house he bought her way in. "I image you can bathe by your self in the woman's half, or we could go unisex " Aries. Gave a wink and laughed a bit. Before handing her a tool "go on now"

She nodded and took his shirt off and handed it back to him before walking towards the bathing area.
The women and girls there laughed and snickered at her and also kept their distance. They didn't want to get close to the anthro.
She slipped into the water and kept her eyes down, tears formin in them as she heard all the cruel comments being made about her in whispers. She bathed as quickly as she could then got out and ran back to Aries, tears streaming down her cheeks, though since they were wet it was hard to tell except by the distraught expression on her face.
At least her hair and fur were clean now, soft and smooth like it should be and her hair would be slightly wavy when it dried.

Aries lifted her face to look at him he whipped her tears away. "Don't mind them little one, soon you will look proper and they will envy you." Aries held the robe for Natalia. "Come now dress little one."

She slid the dress-like garment on and then adjusted the golden clasps so it fit her properly. Yes, she looked nice, but she still couldn't believe a word he said about her. No one would respect her because no one could respect her.
Servent of a god or not, she was still an anthro and not one human she had ever met had ever said a kind word about her or her kind. Even human slaves were above free anthros and could do as they pleased with them.

Aries Pulled her into him for a hug, "lets get to the shop," Aries started walking with his arm around her, and came to a black Smith shop he opened the door and walked through the room smelled like smoke and hot iron, "I'll work the metal and fire you will pump the bellows and keep the flame going, when I need water you will fetch it and make us lunch Okay?" He nodded and pointed to the bellows before getting to his job. The shop had various weapons hanging around for sale.

"W-why does a god need a shop?" she asked, "And I don't know how to make any kind of food..." she said quietly. She was homeless until about half an hour ago.

Aries blushed "I am a God, but I was banished, the other said I must learn humility and heart before allowed back. The shop keeps me fed and clothes and brings in good money for play " he set to work heating and iron rod till red and hammering it roughly into the form of a blade, with each movement of his arm, his muscles stretched and contracted beautifully under his pale skin, his body started to blacked with soot, " I'll cook tonight you will watch you will learn, now take that pale and fill it with cold water for cooling the blades."

She nodded and did as she was told, quickly running off to fill the pail and then she returned with it, though her starved, weak form was obviously struggling.

"Very good, can you catch a rabbit?" Aries. Dunked a hot blade into the water and the room filled with steam

"No sir. I've never caught anything before."

Aries. Smiled and shook his head, " there's a garden out back go pick out some ripe stuff I'll make rabbit stew I'll be out to catch some once I'm done with this order"

She nodded but didn't question him further, despite not knowing how to tell what was ripe and what wasn't.
She picked some carrots and tomatoes.

Aries smiled and nodded at her when she came back in. He took off his work gloves and headed out back, "I'll be back with some rabbits,"

She set the vegetables on the countert then looked around, feeling somewhat awkward.

Ariea quickly found some rabbits and skinned and butchered them, scared that Natalia would get grossed out when he retirned inside he smiled and held up the meat "ive got some, hurry and get that pot and hang it over the fire and then pour some water in it "
