Uuni never understood the reasoning behind remaking the bed in the morning. It was just going to get messy again that evening! There was no stopping Avery, unfortunately, and so she didn't bother.
Uuni had to pause for a moment. And then she added with a grin, "When we first met in the kitchens, we cut right to the chase. Slowing down, are you?" She shook her head and finished off her pastry, taking another drink off klah.
Once more she paused as Avery rounded on her with a brush. "Egh, what are you doing?" Honestly, she didn't need a mother! She could do it herself once she got back to her room. It wasn't as though it was far away.
Sighing, she finally relinquished herself to the treatment and sat there, relaxed as could be as Avery pampered her. "Mmm? What's that?" Her voice was low, and she was to the point of not wanting to talk. Regardless of how demoted it made her feel, it was nice to get attention.

"Yes, well, if I don't take my time this round, I might end up with someone as messy and uncouth as you again, love." Her skilled hands made quick work of Uuni's hair, and she lightly cupped the brunette's face in the palm of her hand before nodding approvingly and moving away. A key was removed from her belt and used to unlock her truck, and shortly thereafter a pair of gloves and another of boots were removed and set down on the cot.
Despite Avery's casual treatment of the items, they were clearly expensive, well made. Beautiful, even. They were made to stand up to a lot of abuse and look good, especially in a place like this. "I'm positive they're your size."
A second mug of klah was lifted from its resting place on her shelf and Avery took a swallow, hazel eyes running over a letter she'd received that morning.

Uuni had to chuckle in admittance. "You like the uncouth," she murmured her in answer, but she made no retort over the messy. She was, and Avery was not. And they would drive each other nuts.
Her eyes flicked from the gloves to the boots and back to Avery when they were set there. Always going about with such luxury --- wait, what?
Uuni fixed her gaze on Avery for a little while, although she was shocked about the gift, she was more concerned with what kind of person went measuring her feet in the middle of the night while she was sleeping! Creep.
A smile found its way to her lips, and she sighed and made her way over to the boots and the gloves to pick them up. "Thanks, Ave," she said quietly.
She was a bit anxious to try them on, especially since her feet were cold, so she picked her way over to the door. "So, who is this lovely girl, anyway?" Yeah. She'd been caught. She was curious.

She had indeed been caught. Those fierce, light colored eyes shifted up from the parchment to meet Uuni's and Avery's grin was, to be frank, wolfish.
"Nobody. I told her that my girlfriend was dreadfully sick and she was very accommodating. Once I told her how jealous you were, though, she waved me away before I could get her name."
Clearly pleased with herself, Avery went back to her klah, her free hand fluttering briefly at Uuni to excuse her to try on her new items [as that was what Avery would've done the moment she got a new addition to her wardrobe!], giving her one last demand before she got out of earshot.
"Change your clothing, it's disgusting!"

Uuni huffed and went, "Uh-huh," when she found out that it was nobody. "I'm not sick." After a long pause, she remembered to add, "And we're not going out."
She hoisted the things she got up and took another step back into the hall in time to catch Avery's light statement.
"And wash out your lying mouth with soap!" she retorted back and then pivoted on one heel and went the rest of the way back to her living quarters.
She had to find something that at least moderately matched the extravagance of Avery's gifts. It occured to her while she was doing this that she never really accepted gifts. But the sleeping firelizard on her dresser and the new shoes on her cot were a shining symbol of what she guessed was change.
Blech.
Uuni moved the firelizard and decided to stick with bare feet. Afterall, she had latrine duty, and she wouldn't want to get those shoes dirty anyway.
