Aethel #4: A tight fit (Patreon)

You search through your wardrobe only to realize that most of your clothes are buried in the laundry hamper.

Still there is something that could probably fit the surprise guest. Uncertain of your choice you hand her what’s left in the cabinet: your pajamas, a couple of T-shirts and some underwear.

Aethel grabs the clothes quickly, by the look of her face you can tell that it is better to get back to your room while she is dressing.

Puffing heard behind the door is followed seconds later by Aethel cautiously opening it:

- I... I need your help. Just... stop staring and do something!

She’s standing before you wearing only your boxers and the pajama top, which hangs open. She mutters:

- This was all I could get on... And I can't button up this pajama.

Aethel seems obviously frustrated. You rush to help, though your hands, suddenly clumsy, aren't making the task any easier...

After a few fumbled attempts, you finally manage to button up the pajama when your phone suddenly rings. You start to remember: you have a critical meeting to attend!

Aethel’s grumpy gaze follows you as you scramble around the flat, hunting for your things. You shove your old phone into her hands and huff:

-Here, I really have to go! If anything happens, text or call me, here is my contact!

She just stares back, looking a bit dazed.

You rush out of the flat, praying she doesn’t do anything while you're gone.

. . .

Office building.

You're sitting in a boardroom surrounded by stakeholders.

Just as the meeting begins, you feel your phone buzz insistently in your pocket. It is Aethel...
