Fix & Clean- Friday Afternoon

[alwaysonguard]

 So, the rabbit-sitting had gone surprisingly well.... right up until it hadn't, which had been the moment Amaya transformed back to her normal human size and shaped self. And while there had been a certain degree of awkwardness, even beyond the normal expected level for that sort of situation, the bigger issue, at least at the moment, was dealing with the sudden lack of a dresser.

So Dwight spent much of the morning sorting through the wood in the back storage room, selecting the pieces that would be best suited for a new dresser. He had them set up in the corner, ready to take to the work room to start measuring and cutting. But only after he took a break to enjoy the last of the iced coffee he had grabbed during his morning run.

The shop was open and Dwight was available!

Having seemingly dodged the bullet of a post-poned shopping excursion yesterday, Amaya figured the last thing she needed was to give fate more ammunition by keeping Dwight's borrowed clothes in her possession any longer than necessary. One potential disaster hanging over her head was more than enough, thank you.

"Dwight." She came into the shop all business, of course, sparing no time in depositing the nearly folded, freshly laundered clothes on the nearest surface, along with a small box. "I believe these might be yours. Thanks again. And sorry," she nodded, seeing what he was working on and able to take a guess where that was going, "again, about the dresser. Brought some of the cupcakes from class as a ways to make up for it. They're potato. And Nutella. Not together, I mean. They're seperate. But I made both."

She was definitely Very Good at this and not Awkward at all!

"Hey, no worries about it" Dwight said with a wave towards the work being done. "Needed to get that thing replaced anyways. You just gave me the motivation and need to get to it sooner."

Dwight brushed off his hands as he turned and walked over to inspect said goodies with interest.

"Nutella sounds amazing. And potato.... sounds oddly intriguing I have to admit" he said with a slight grin.

"Yeah, well," Amaya reasoned, "I figured potatoes were something you could scrounge up practically anywhere, so knowing how to get a cupcake out of 'em seemed a worthwhile thing to know."

Not that Amaya was the greatest baker in the world, either, though. Her batches definitely seemed to always come out a little overcooked, but, well, being used to needing a lot of heat to get things done...

"I'll not keep you long, though," she added. "Just wanted to drop these off."

[alwaysonguard]

Right. Quick and easy. The way it should be....

"Right. Well, appreciate you bringing them by. Will let ya know how they turned out. And thanks from bringing these back," he said as he picked up the clothes to move them out of the way. "And sorry about all the... you know..." The awkwardness and all that stuff.

[special_rabbit]

Quick. Easy. No room for things to go pear-shaped...

"Ah, well," said Amaya, dismissively waving a hand as if to clear all that out of the air, once and for all, "those pesky animal transformations, can't be helped, really! Nothing to worry about there!"

[alwaysonguard]

Dwight nodded. "Guess it's a good thing you changed back in time for your next class huh? Not sure I could have kept you away from your forge for much longer, rabbit-sized or not!"

[special_rabbit]

There was a small pause, as if Amaya was deciding whether or not she should speak her next thought into the world.

"I think," she said, "I have a new project now."

Can you guess what?

Did you guess a rabbit-sized hammer and anvil and mini-forge? Because if yes, then congratulations! You won!

[alwaysonguard]

That would not have been Dwight's first guess, but he would not have been too surprised to learn what it was either.

"Well, good luck with whatever it is. I am sure it will be a good project to keep you occupied with!" Ya know, just so long as other projects in the works didn't get totally overlooked and forgotten.

[special_rabbit]

If there was one thing Amaya Blackstone was good at, it was projects, so nothing to worry about there.

"Most projects are," Amaya pointed out, "and I should really let you get back to yours."

But there seemed to be a ..slight hesitation before she finally turned to make good on those words with a wave of her hand. "See ya around, Dwight."
