1x1 - Zelly & Anime

[Zelly-fangirl]

"I more meant if the bucket could be raised without the rope breaking, but clean water's good too!" Van said with a slight chuckle.

 

[M3Gnificent]

"Oh! Well, it's fine for now. Not as strong as before, but still pretty sturdy. It should last us a little while, at least." Mala said before dragging the rather heavy and empty tub out of where it was stored so that she could get the bath set up for Van. After many trips back and forth, she finished. "Is this good?" she asked. "The water might be chilly, though, but it's better than nothing I'd hope."

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"It's fie, I'm sure we can make some makeshift mini stove or something later." Van said as he removed the remainder of his clothes and slowly climbed into the tub.

 

[M3Gnificent]

"Maybe." Mala said, now letting her hair down as she headed upstairs towards her room. She wondered if her old books were still in-tact.

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

After Mala left the room, Van sank into the tub a bit, a satisfied smile on his face as he soaked all the grime away. Right now he was having one of those 'my life is perfect' moments as he chose not to think about the day's events or the graveyard that was a short distance from their house.

 

[M3Gnificent]

Mala's books were mostly in-tact, even if a little weather-worn. She was careful with the one she picked up, though, and began to read as she waited for Van to finish.

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

Some time later, Van climbed out of the tub and managed to find a towel that was still in good condition to dry off with before going to their room. "What do you want me to do with the bath water?" he asked as he walked in, a towel around his waist while he dried his hair with another smaller one.

 

[M3Gnificent]

Mala thought for a moment. "When I still lived her as a normal mortal, I would use the used bathwater to water the flowers. Seeing how the flowers are dead and weeds have taken their place, I'm not sure. Perhaps we should dump it somewhere?"

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"Well, wherever we dump it, I don't think anyone around here is going to care." Van said shaking out his hair.

 

[M3Gnificent]

"Good point. Let's dump it somewhere in the dirt or in the river. I don't mind where, though." Mala said, now standing herself up and putting her book away. "Want to go get that out of the way now or save it for later?"

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"I'll get it out of the way and then we can have the rest of the day to ourselves and finally relax." Van said going to dig through their magic Bag of Holding for some fresh pants and underwear.

 

[M3Gnificent]

Mala didn't really feel like standing for long, so she went on and sat herself back down on the edge of the bed. "Okay."

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"Be back in a sec!" Van said before going to lug the tub out and dumping it some ways from the house before coming back in and flopping down on the bed next to Mala. "Ah, hopefully we'll be able to refurnish this place before the baby comes." he thought out loud.

 

[M3Gnificent]

"I'm sure we will be able to, since the baby won't be born for another six months or so." Mala said, grinning broadly as she scooted closer and layed herself beside him.

 

[Zelly-fangirl]

"And we still need to start thinking up names." Van said with a small chuckle as he rolled onto his side and put a hand on her lower stomach. "I wonder if there's some way to find out if it'll be a boy or a girl, I'm starting to get anxious..."
