[closed] Somehow they just had to

[vaimo]

Who: Siiri, Floweregg and Åsa.
When: Saturday 12th July
Where: The park and then Siiri's house
What: Killian gave Floweregg bad ideas and now she's going to enact them
Warnings: These two always need a warning for being obnoxiously cute.

After a week cooped up inside at work, it was always nice to go out for a walk. Even having to wait for Siiri to finish work hadn't been much to dampen her spirits - not that waiting somewhere with excellent coffee was ever a bad thing. Besides, they'd missed the heat of the day this way, and it was too late for the young children but too early for the drunken louts, so it had just been a pleasant walk where they'd had the park to themselves and a few other dog walkers and occasional jogger.

At the top of the park was a pond, and Åsa stopped in the middle of the bridge over it, leaning on the fence. From there you could look over some of the city, the sunset behind it lighting it up. "It's really pretty at this time of day, isn't it?" She smiles back at Siiri, open and bright as ever.

Åsa takes her hand, but tries not to pull too much as she uses it to help herself get up. "Yes! I think we all need a shower." She agrees with a soft laugh, stepping out of the water carefully, and then shaking herself off somewhat. She pulls the hem of her skirt up to squeeze some of the water out, and then when she's no longer dripping as much, bites back her anxiety to reach out for Siiri's hand again. With the other, she keeps Floweregg cradled in close to her chest, tucked in safe against her.

"Your flat? It's closer, and then we can settle Floweregg down properly." She suggests, keeping her tone light for Floweregg's sake as much as anything else. If she can act calm, perhaps it'll rub off on the puppy, show her that everything's (mostly) all right.

A nod. Yes, that sounds like a good plan.

And the hand is taken with relief, though she can't read the intent behind it - at least it means that Åsa doesn't mind her too much right now, because the touch isn't strictly necessary, so it must carry some meaning.

She'll keep her fingers firmly wrapped around Åsa's all the way, and even up the stairs and into her apartment, because she has a free hand for the keys and... and really, if she lets go, who knows if it would be okay to renew the contact?

Floweregg calms down on the way, still pressing against Åsa's chest and shaken, but the whimpering dies down and she only stays with her head buried into the woman's shirt.

[vaimo]

Who knows when Åsa will find the courage to renew the contact? But after such a trial of fire (or water). Even a few steps away from the lake she's unsure that she's done the right thing, but she buries her concern in worrying over Floweregg and trying not to enjoy the physical contact too much when it's so uncertain.

She has to release Siiri's hand in the hallway to take her shoes off, and then try and peel her socks off one handedly, not wanting to track any more mud in then they already have. At least her skirt seems to have stopped dripping, although she realises that she might have to borrow something to wear or she'll be spending the rest of the afternoon awkwardly trying not to touch anything. Like now as she tries not to lean against the wall as she balances to remove her socks, but with Floweregg in one and and the other reaching down she has nothing to support herself and she sways dangerously, before giving up and putting her foot down - at least until Siiri has her own shoes and socks off. "Can you take Floweregg for a moment?" She asks, although she won't actually pull the puppy away from her chest until Siiri's ready to take her. Let her stay snuggled up as long as possible.

[hustru]

Siiri will swiftly take off her shoes and pants (long pants are more of a problem than a skirt when it comes to getting dirt and water on the floor) once Åsa let go of her hand (reluctantly allowing her to do so, but it's reasonable, it has to be done) and thus have both hands free to take Floweregg off the other woman so she can take her shoes off.

"I'll wash her."

And then once she washed her she'll shower real quick, and then Åsa can use the shower while Siiri searches for clothes that might fit her. But Floweregg first, before she can get dirt everywhere. Not that she seems to be much inclined to run around right now, still way too quiet and pressing against her chest as much as she can - Siiri will have to check her over for injuries once they're clean. Maybe take her to a vet if this continues. But then... she really needs to find a vet that will know how to deal with a numbered dog.

But for now, she carries the puppy over to the bathroom and one-handedly gets the showerhead down, and then sits down on the side of the tub - her clothes are wet anyway, she can keep the dog on her knees while washing her (because for once, it seems like Floweregg won't be hard to keep still).

[vaimo]

Well then. If Siiri's going to take her trousers off, then Åsa's going to take her skirt off too (in a moment, after she's gotten over Siiri's legs. They're really long, okay, and really nice, like the rest of her, and she's very jealous and more attracted than she'll admit to herself). She folds it over her arm, and follows Siiri into the bathroom to put it in the sink, but then leaves Siiri to wash Floweregg as she heads to the kitchen to put some coffee on, and fetch one of Floweregg's blankets.

Returning to the bathroom with it, she sets it down for when Floweregg's dry, and turns to get an older towel out for her. She's comfortable in Siiri's flat at least, even if she's still awkward with Siiri. "Feeling better?" She asks as she comes over to them, leaning over to rub behind Floweregg's ear as she smiles at her reassuringly.

[notbloody]

"Are you angry?" Floweregg has calmed down a bit, and it is Siiri's luck that she can concentrate on the puppy, because otherwise she wouldn't be able to not take a peek at Åsa's leg and how nicely they are curved and how nice they must feel under her hands if she could touch, and just how cute all of Åsa is and how her legs are just perfect just like the rest of her and...

But no, she'll concentrate on Floweregg, and softly speak with her. But then Åsa speaks up and the dog answers her, and she can't stop herself anymore and looks over at Åsa and... really, it's just a quick peek. Maybe two. But she's really only looking up - up there. Yes. Åsa's face, which is too cute for life too. But...no, stop, don't look at her legs, no matter how much you want to. Face. Good.

[vaimo]

"Of course I'm not!" Åsa responds, her first thought as ever spilling from her lips. "We were worried about you - and about each other - but not angry. You do need to be more careful, though." She reassures her, her fingers moving to rub under chin instead, gentle in her contact and hopefully reassuring.

"Does anywhere hurt at all?" She adds, her hands moving to stroke her wet fur, examining her discreetly, though she's sure that Siiri's already done so.

[hustru]

"Everything." But the way in which Siiri stays calm at those words, and in which she feels normal under Åsa's hands, indicates that Floweregg might be bruised and still is a bit in shock, but will be fine.

Siiri will put away the showerhead and pick Floweregg up so that she can be placed in the towel that Åsa is holding. "Dry her off- I'll shower, and then you."

And once Floweregg is safely deposited in Åsa's arms, she'll get up and pull the shower curtain shut, and then just... stand there and stare at the wall for a good minute, trying to not shortcut with cuteness.

[vaimo]

Taking Floweregg, she wraps her up in the towel and cuddles her back in against her chest. "We're all going to be a bit bruised for a while!" She says, standing up so she can leave Siiri to shower in privacy. As she leaves, she just remembers to grab her blanket again as she heads out to sit on one of the chairs in the kitchen with Floweregg on her lap. Normally she'd rub her dry, but with bruises, she decides she needs to be gentler, so she's careful to be softer this time.

"You'll be all right, though. Siiri will look after you and you'll feel much better in a couple of days." She promises, smiling at her.

[notbloody]

Floweregg will simply huddle into Åsa's lap and let her dry her for a good long while, too shaken still to answer, long enough for Siiri to be done with her quick shower.

She's wearing a fluffy bathing robe now and has her hair up, wrapped in a towel - she vacated the bathroom as quickly as possible so Åsa could shower before catching a cold. "A towel for you's on the sink. Call me if you need something."
