There were benefits to having an older sister who worked as a tour guide; it took only a matter of minutes to lead Alabaster around the apartment, explaining how the microwave was meant to heat up food, how the computer worked, that the vacuum cleaner was not a hostile force (even if Duff believed otherwise), and so on. She even showed him the laundry room downstairs, complete with full instructions on how to use both the washer and the dryer.

At the end of the tour, Saga emerged from the bathroom and nodded to him. "The towels on the counter are for you. Feel free to wash up as much as you want. We'll probably have to look into finding you an extra change of clothing while you're here, too."
