ashsexual - Day Off

[ashnotashley]

Despite the sun streaming in through the bedroom's lone window, Ash curled up closer to her pillow. It was her day off and she was trying her best to sleep in for as long as possible.

Unfortunately, her body usually only give her an hour leeway between her usual sleep scedule and she grumbles as she finally wakes up.

But hey, it's not all bad...

"Sheila?"

Sheila smiles, resting her head in the crook of Ash's neck. "Wonderful plan, m'lady," she mumbles, giving her a nuzzle.

Ash smiles a little as Sheila nuzzles up against her. "So...you have anything you want to do today?"

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Hm." She lets out a sigh, giving her toast a few thoughtful nibbles.

"Nay, m'lady," she finally says. "There art too many things to choose from... surely we cannot accomplish everything in a day's time."

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"No, probably not," she says, putting her coffee on the table and going for another piece of toast. "I wish it could be though..."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Maybe ye can teach me more things?" she suggests. "More... modern things. So that I may tend to thee better, m'lady."

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Ash winces a little at the phrase 'tend to thee'. She doesn't want Sheila to act like she has to be her servant or anything. "Well, what do you want to know? Or rather, what have we already covered?"

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

She sits up and starts counting things off on her hand, thinking of the list as she goes. "The telephone... the toasting device... the coffee machine... the television box... the shower... the wash basins..."

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

Ash nods off each one, remembering how many of them went down. Some more eventful than others. "We haven't covered the microwave yet?"

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"I do not believe so, m'lady," she replies, shaking her head. "Perhaps ye mentioned it in passing once or twice?"

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"Well yeah. It's taking up counter space..."

She takes another sip of her coffee. "I guess I know what we're covering today then."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"One uses a... microwave? As a means of preparing food, yes?" Give her a gold star. She's retaining.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"Mmmhmm," Ash says with a nod. She'll reward that retention later. "Usually when you're in a hurry or something is prepackaged."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Fascinating," she murmurs, trying to grasp the concept. She leans forward in her seat, reaching for her own mug of coffee. She makes a slight face when she sips at it; she had put too much milk in it earlier, but she wasn't going to complain.

"What of this prepackaging?"

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"Prepackaging is pre-made food," she says, taking a long sip of her coffee before putting the cup back down. "You buy it, store it until you want it, open up the package, and then follow the instructions on the package on how to prepare it."

Such an eloquent explanation, she knows.

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Surely food that sits will spoil," she replies, quirking an eyebrow. "What manner of magic is this?"

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"Preservatives and refrigeration, babe," she says, jerking her metal thumb in the direction of the refrigerator.

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Fascinating!" she repeats, smiling.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"Though, don't stick metal in the microwave," she warns. "The one on the counter is one Scotty had to buy me after he stuck a fork in my last one."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Are there any other materials not suitable for the microwave?" she asks, resting her chin in her hand as she listens to her lesson.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"Any sort of wrapper," Ash answers after some thought, thinking of the time Scotty accidentally made her apartment smell like burnt plastic for two weeks. He was officially banned from using the microwave after that. "And small animals. Though I doubt you'd stick small animals in the microwave."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

"Of course not, Ashley," she replies, giving her a slight smack to the arm. "I would never. Unless - of course - they were required for food..." She makes a face. "But in this day and age, I suppose your connotation of hunting is quite different." Yes - it confused her when Ash had used the word and then hit the nearest fast food place early in the week.

[ashnotashley.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Ash says, scratching her head, remembering that incident. "Not a lot of people hunt for food now. Especially not in Dearborn."

[ashsexual.livejournal.com]

She giggles. "I could understand that, yes," she says. And when she's finished with her coffee, she sets it down on the table and returns to her spot curled up against Ash's side.

Ash puts her other arm around Sheila and hugs her close, her head resting on top of Sheila's.

Lifting her chin, she presses a small kiss to Ash's mouth and then smiles.
