As soon as Kettil was out of sight, she dropped the clothing in her hands and breathed again. She hadn't realized how shallow and difficult breathing was until she was finally alone and she let out a long, satisfying breath. It made her flop on her bed with dizziness, and she laid there for a moment, staring up at the ceiling.
Guilt creeped into her psyche, slow and steady.
Suddenly, everything she had planned seemed.. tainted. She just wanted to go learn how to dance. She hadn't thought much of it until that moment, sitting there, wearing the dress he'd picked out for her, that it started to sink in.
This was too close to a date to be healthy.
The idea of giving up on something she wanted was blasphemous. But the idea of hurting Kettil, of sending him down a path he probably didn't want to find himself on, made her nauseous. Not to mention how easily she fell into temptation..
Herryk's beautiful face shone a clear image in her head. He was smiling. She could hardly remember the last time he'd smiled at her. Nowadays, it was all frowns.
Freya slid up off the bed, pulled her towel off, and started to get dressed in a hurry. Her stomach turned with her decision, but she wasn't going to falter this time. She knew the difference between right and wrong - but she was going to pick right, this time.
And right meant their little dance party had to wait.
"Hooter, yeh can comes back now." Freya's face was lined with pain and confusion, so she pressed her hands against the skin, smoothed the conflict out of her expression, and lifted her head. All that was left was a beaming smile.

He'd wandered the hall a little after he was satisfied with the door wasn't going to just fall over he even had time to put his toolbox back before he returned. Kettil was giving Freya time. All the time she wanted to get dressed and do what she wanted, it was by some sort miracle that when she was ready he was back at her door, waiting.
The door opened and he slipped in with a small smile, "Hey there," he said simply and then securely closed the door behind him. It was amazing how satisfying a closed door felt when you're the one that fixed it.
Kettil wandered over toward Freya, "All ready to roll?"

Freya couldn't help herself. When he walked in, she second guessed everything she'd decided, the moment her heart leapt at the sound of his voice. It made her feel even sicker, and only furthered her resolve. But there was always that moment. That one moment where she just wanted to forget everything that bothered her and hug him. And laugh. And smile. And be happy.
She walked over to stand in front of him, took one of his hands in her own, and smiled sadly. "Not yet." She whispered. Her chest rose and fell in a sigh, and her smile fell into a frown.
"We should does this another time. I don't thinks.. I means, it's just -" She rolled her eyes and her brow furrowed. "We should does this another times. Not today."

Mostly he felt confusion. A lot of confusion.
...Megaton bricks of confusion.
In fact if there was a raincloud over his head it would rain the word 'confusion' right onto his head and drench him. He reached up and rubbed the back of his neck with a bit of a sigh, "Y..Yeah, we've been through a lot today, huh?"
He wasn't sure what to make of this seemingly sudden change of mind and emotion that seemed to constantly flicker between them. On one hand...He wanted to insist but on the other hand...
Kettil scratched at his jaw, "O..Okay. I'll..." he smiled brightly. Smile for Freya because she needed a smile right now more than anything, "I know! I'll just go hang out at the maul and maybe go watch a movie. I'll be in my room later if you need me."

"Wait-" Nope. Nope, nope, nope. Her hand had reached out to stop him already, but she pulled it back, as though touching him burned the skin. "No, okays. Just has fun. I'm sorry I makes yeh gets all dressed up for nothings. But yeh saves teh outfit, ja? We're still goings teh goes and hangs out likes I wanted. Just.."
Just not today. Today, she knew, her smiles were done for. She patted him on the arm, and went to go check the door. She opened it and closed it, several times.
"Yeh does a good job! I remembers this for next times I breaks something." She squeezed the doorknob nervously. There would probably be a lot of broken things, before the day was over.

He paused when he turned to go toward the door and looked at her almost hopefully but that was just her being unsure about something. Kettil wanted to ask her what was on her mind but...
Quietly he walked over toward where she stood by the door, "I look forward to it, Princess," he said sincerely and then leaned forward and left a light kiss at the corner of her lips before he pulled away, "I'll...See you later. Okay? You just rest and stay healthy for me."
There was more he wanted to do and unsaid things hung between them like a heavy cloud. It wasn't awkward but it was uncomfortable. Both of them having a need of sorts and yet...
He gave her one more smile and a small wave as he left her room calling for Endy so she knew to fly out of the window of his bedroom to join him.

"Okays. I promise!" Freya chirped out, holding the door open when he started to walk out, and walking her fingers at him. "I'll calls yeh later."
She closed the door, and the fake smile she'd plastered on her face fell. Then, so did she. She sunk to her knees, and let the storm hit her full on, taking her places she had promised herself she would never go again.
By the end of the day, Freya, and her room, would be in tatters.
