Is it too late now to say sorry? [Gyda]

It had rained out the last couple days, and Yrsa had forced Aksel and Aleksia to sit inside for the most part. She’d only just got her own place, and didn’t need muddy puppies shaking off inside and giving her more work to do. So when the sun had finally cleared, she took them for a walk. However, after being cooped up for almost two full days, the energetic puppies were not as obedient as they should have been, and had bolted off towards the village center. She really needed to get some cord and leash the troublesome beasts, and soon.

She was fairly certain they couldn’t get up to too much trouble, and therefore didn’t chase after them, making her way in the general direction they’d run off at just above her normal walking pace. It didn’t take long before she heard their yips of excitement and the shield maiden rolled her eyes, realizing they must have found a new friend. Sometimes, they were a bit too friendly for their own good. She didn’t like the idea of training that out of them, but if she wanted well behaved dogs, she’d need to at least work on it occasionally.

Groaning aloud when she finally recognized who they were dancing around, Yrsa shook her head and hurried over to where Gyda was standing. Her skirt was covered with splatters of mud, nearly to her knees in a couple places. Aksel and Aleksia were staring up at her, their tongues hanging out the sides of their mouths, their tails wagging wildly. It couldn’t have been anyone else, she thought, shaking her head as she finally approached. 

“I am so sorry about that. I can, um… pay for a new dress?” She looked sheepishly at the frú, before dropping her gaze to the pups once more. “Sit!” she told them harshly, and sighed again when they both plopped their bums down immediately, onto the very muddy ground. Their tails were still wagging madly, flinging specks of mud up but at least it was only hitting Yrsa’s boots now, and not Gyda any longer. Her house was going to be a big muddy mess when she got them home.
