Why was Ahayla so insistent on having her listen to music? Allura left the dorm room, hurrying to the dorm laundromat. She wasn't even the least dressed one there. Some students were lounging about in just their underwear as they waited for their clothes to be done washing or drying.
Tossing Ahayla's wet clothes into the first available one, she was about to close the door when she remembered to check the pockets. Reaching inside the machine, she searched the pockets quickly and took out anything she found. Only then did she close the door and start the washer. When that was done, she transferred the even wetter clothes to the dryer.
Some time later, she carried the still slightly damp but much drier clothes back to her dorm room. Upon entering she found Ahayla on her bed, waiting. Smiling sheepishly, she felt bad for taking so long.
