"Sounds good, but I'm going to have to be selfish and take the comfier sleeping spot tonight and insist you sleep in my bed, sorry," Kyle tells her as he helps her stand and Nori gives a small, "Thank you," before he goes to stand at the mirror.
"No can do, cowboy," the blonde informs him as he starts to peel the adhesive off the band-aid. "Me sleeping in your bed would probably piss him off too. Haven't you ever seen a horror movie?" She asks, and while her tone is somewhat teasing, it's very obvious that she is being serious. "It's a non-negotiable, Kyle. I sleep on the couch at your place or the hostel. Your pick."
Kyle seems to consider it as he carefully apples the bandage, but asks instead, "So, two questions, first, do you have to work much longer?"
"No, I was actually in the process of closing up shop when you came in earlier. It shouldn't take more than five or ten minuets," Nori says, leaning against the wall by to the sink while inspecting the damage to his face again. The small girl starts to feel another wave of guilt come over her but she does her best to smother it down before it has a chance to sour her mood.
"And you wouldn't happen to have my flannel from last night would you?"
"Oh, right!" Nori exclaims, straightening up, pulling her keys out of her pocket and handing them to Kyle. "It's upstairs in my bedroom, I think probably by the bed," the blonde explains, pointedly leaving out the fact that she slept in it last night. "It's sort of a mess, but the dishes are clean, which is the important part. You can head on up and I’ll follow you after I’ve finished closing---,”
"Er, sorry tae bother ye, mates," came a voice and Nori squeaked, turning around to see Ryva and one of her band mates had entered the store, along with Moose.
'I didn't even hear the doorbell! They must be ninjas.' the blonde thought with a nervous chuckle, giving the songstress a quick wave. "...But I was wondering if ye have any Jasmine and Orchids? A friend of mine 'as a birthday comin' up."
"Hey Ryva! We don't have a huge selection of orchids right now, but we have a ton of jasmine. Lemme show y--Oh my goodness Moose!" Nori laughed when the pup bounded over and she crouched down, running a hand affectionately over his head and giving him a quick scratch behind the ears. "Sorry we look like drowned rats, we had an accident with the water hose," she tells Ryva, turning her head to throw Kyle a quick wink.
