Don't trust anyone, sleep with your stuff in your cot with your arms around it and make sure they dry your clothes. They can give you spares, God knows they get donations all the time."

But they could work on that part later.

"I don't mind helping. For a pretty guy like you? I'd do anything." Axel winked and then bounced back, grinning at him, unable to help himself. "I'll be there tomorrow, we'll make food so come hungry."
