Work Text:
Joe and Nicky are in the bedroom, doing what they are doing, but what they are doing is very loud.
Nile: "Jeez.."
Nile took two pillows and used them to cover up her ears.
Nile: "Are they always this loud?"
Andy: "Yep."
Andy sits down in the chair, not caring that her boots are muddy.
Andy: "I like to compare them to a pair of huskies."
Nile: "To huskies? Why?"
Andy: "You have heard how loud a husky is, right?"
Nile nodded.
Andy: "A long time ago in Alaska, someone who had a lot of huskies told me that as long as his huskies were barking loudly, he wasn't worried."
Andy threw one of her muddy boots through the room, hitting a wall. And Nile could tell by the dry mud on the wall that it wasn't the first time Andy had done that.
Andy: "It was first when the barking stopped that he would get worried."
Andy threw her second boot in the same direction as the first boot and hit the wall again.
Andy: "So, that's why I like to compare Joe and Nicky with a pair of huskies. As long as they are loud, I am not worried. It's first, when they are silent for more than five minutes, I start to worry about them."
Nile: "Okay, I think I follow, but what do you do when they sleep? Even they need to sleep at some point."
Andy: "Have you heard how loudly they snore?"
Joe and Nicky tumbled out of the room like a pair of teenagers, grinning over something Nile and Andy didn't know what was.
Andy: "I knew I should have waited before taking off my boots."
Andy looked at Joe.
Joe: "You know what, Nicky?"
Nicky shook his head.
Joe: "I think the Boss just told me that it's time for us to move on."
Andy: "I have no idea where you got that idea from."
Nicky: "And she is right because you promised to show me Pompeii at nighttime."
Andy: "Try not to destroy anything unnecessary or valuable."
Joe: "I cannot promise that. Have you seen the jeans Nicky is wearing? They sculp..."
Andy: "If you finish that sentence, you know what will happen."
Nicky grabbed Joe's shirt.
Nicky: "Come on, Joe. We've got places to be."
Nicky pulled Joe out of the living room.
Andy: "See. A pair of huskies."
Nile smiled. She loved that comparison.
Nile: "What did you mean by that they shouldn't destroy anything unnecessary or valuable?"
Andy: "Well, that brings me to the second animal I like to compare Joe and Nicky with. Namely, the bull who somehow ended up in a china shop."
Andy took off her socks.
Andy: "If you want to hear about that, then make me a sandwich. Or five."
Nile: "On it."
Andy: "And don't forget plenty of bacon."
While making sandwiches, Nile couldn't wait to hear about why Andy thought Joe and Nicky were like bulls in a china shop.
