[ He doesn't know what she's talking about? Exactly what a pushover would say! And so, she snickers, knowing that she's right as always. One of these days, she's going to try her "step on me" stuff while he's in his real body. What a fun challenge that would be!

Her dreams come crashing down when he says he's going for a hosing down. She sputters. Seriously?! ]

I was joking! I doubt it can reach that far! [ Darn it, now his cuddling and nuzzling is distracting her from being properly annoyed. She wiggles against him, trying to escape it. ] I don't care about being naked on the way to my room, but--

[ She abruptly goes still. Carrying her? Oh...that's really sweet...

No!! She has a bone to pick, and it's getting picked until she's satisfied! ]

Hey! My request isn't ridiculous! It's cute and I want it, so you should do it! And maybe you can stop treating me like your little human toy! Don't be a grump about the things I don't want you to be a grump about!

[ She's wiggling harder, determined to get free. She promised he was meant to be in control of the plans now, but not with this! No way! In fact, know what's going to get her to her room? Her own two legs! Once she can move them without wincing, anyway.

Really! It's going to happen! She'll do it! Just wait and see! If she doesn't end up immediately falling on her ass by slipping in his puddle of gunk, anyway. ]
