The man sat up and glanced at everything. Worry filled his wide eyes.
''You should continue to rest. You collapsed earlier,'' Alfred said with one expression of concern. Curious, he tilted his head to one side. ''You are?''
After scowling at Alfred, the man looked to one side.
Alfred abandoned the man. After entering a restroom, he filled a tub with warm water. He eventually approached the man another time. He watched as the guest continued to scowl. A frown materialized on Alfred's face. ''It's time for a bath,'' he said.
The man's eyes widened again. At a snail's pace. He turned and found himself in Alfred's arms. Another scowl materialized. He struggled as the latter carried him to the restroom. The man was released before Alfred managed to close the door.
*I guess the guest isn't too exhausted* Alfred thought. He began to knock. ''Sir? I can take your clothes and wash them.'' There wasn't a reply. ''Sir?'' Another knock.
Alfred opened the door before his eyes became bigger. He watched as the scowling man wore a dark shirt with blue and white striped boxers.
The man glanced from his clothes on the floor to Alfred. After lifting his clothes and carrying them, he ran by Alfred. He dressed quickly.
Alfred's shoulders slumped before he returned to the restroom. A few moments later, he got rid of the bathwater. Alfred walked to the man before the latter stood by the bed. His eyes settled on the man's bare feet. If his guest refused to wear his boots, it was fine. No problem.
''I'll cook supper. Do you like turkey with rolls?'' Alfred asked.
The man's eyes and smile increased in size before one expression of worry materialized on Alfred's face.
