While Eponine bathes, Nancy does what any English woman would do: she makes them a pot of tea, using the powers she had acquired from her court. While open flames were something she had yet to really figure out, creating heat itself was a nifty little trick. She could heat the water just by putting her hand on the kettle for a long enough time, and it never failed to amuse her.

Besides, it was wonderful to listen to the joy in the other room, she doesn't care about the water or the bubble bath. She'd had the exact same reaction, after all.

"You're fine in your sheet, love," she tells Eponine through the door. "We can wash your things, if you'd like." Or, honestly, burn them. But she'd kept her own dress from back home after a bit of laundering, she imagined Eponine would be much the same.

"I got us a bit of tea- and there's some whiskey besides, if you want."
