"Sure honey," Electra said, waving her off. "Good luck at work today."

Teazer nodded, ignoring the strain as she hefted the jugs of milk, one in each hand, hurrying towards the shop door. Without warning, her foot slipped, a second later, Teazer was on her back on the floor, one milk jug still clutched in her hand, the other, thankfully in tact, bounced noisily across the ground. Milk was soaking rapidly through the young queen's clothes and spreading in a puddle across the floor.
"Oh Cat!"

Electra's eyes widened and she rushed over. "Oh dear," she said, grabbing out the mop and some towels. "Here, honey, let me help you up..."

"Jeez," Teazer scambled to her feet, looking at the mess she'd made and her sodden clothing; the milk had soaked right through her apron and skirt, "I'm so sorry, I just slipped!"

"No, no," Electra said. "It's quite alright. I can clean it up, it's not a problem. Are you going to be okay?" Electra darted over to pick up the intact jar of milk.

Teazer nodded, "I'm fine, no damage done," she sighed, shaking her head as she forcibly wrung the milk out of her skirt. "just milk everywhere!"

"Well, at least you're fine," Electra said, offering her a towel. She brought the mop over, going to the back for a moment to fill up at bucket.

"Yeah, I just hope they might have a spare uniform for me in the back room." another sigh, "They're gonna be wonderin' where the hell I am."

Electra nodded. "Just tell them you had an accident," she said. "Which will be entirely true. I can get you another gallon if you want, or you can send someone else back for it later. You paid for two, and I'd hate to send you away with only one."

Teazer shook her head, "That leaves you out of pocket though, ain't your fault I spilt it. Wouldn't wanna get you in trouble."

Electra shrugged. "Richard wouldn't mind--I'm his only full time employee and he trusts me to know what I'm going. I would hate for you to run out of milk in the middle of the lunch rush."

A nod, "In that case I'd be grateful." Teazer rubbed her arm slightly, noticing for the first time that it was aching slightly, she tried to recall if she'd fallen on it and shook her head, maybe it was just her imagination.

Electra ran over and grabbed out another gallon bringing it over. "Now, be careful, honey. Don't want to do that again."

[color=burlywood[/color]"You're tellin' me." Teazer gave Electra a weak smile as she took the milk, ignring the slight flash of pain that ran up her left arm when she took the full weight of the jug, "I'm grateful, you sure you don't want me to lend a hand cleaning up this mess before I go?"[/color]

Electra waved her off. "I'll be fine, don't worry. You probably don't want them to worry any more about you than they already are."
