After Ariel got into the bathroom using everything she could grab as support to walk to the bathtub.
The bullet didn't hit her directly but since it hit the boot which is made of iron causing it to form a dent which continuously, bruised her legs, the bullet also probably affected the boot mechanism, it's a surprise she could still stay on her feet.
After managing to get the boots off, Ariel laid in the shower, at that moment realizing she didn't have a new set of clothes to change into, she couldn't go back out and go through the stress of putting the boots on back.
"Oh wait, Leo." Ariel muttered to herself, he wouldn't mind helping right?
"Errm, Leo can you please help me get a new set of clothes." Ariel asked trying to hide the embarrassment in her voice
"Okay no problem." Leo's reply came, Ariel sighed feeling grateful when a thought suddenly came to her.
She was laying in the tub butt naked, she couldn't let him see her like that.
