From behind cover, Sabine shot back, "I'm sorry, does that imply I'm old??"

Pippa came around, but Sabine was ready for her; who knew a spade would be an effective tool in tossing soil in a dirt fight. It was hard to tell if anyone was really winning, but by the time they were done and Sabine was sitting on the ground laughing, they were both thoroughly coated in a layer of earth.

Looking herself over, Sabine shook her head, wondering how she got into such a silly situation. It was off-brand for her, but in a way she enjoyed. "You know, I didn't expect things to get dirty when I knocked on your door tonight, Pippa."

If someone had told her that she would spend this day off having a dirt fight with her boss, Pippa would have called them an idiot with no hesitation. And yet, here she was. By the time they ran out of breath, they were both sitting on the ground, covered in gardening soil, and laughing.

>>"You know, I didn't expect things to get dirty when I knocked on your door tonight, Pippa."

Pippa looked up from picking dirt out of her cleavage. For a moment, she wasn't sure if that was... an innuendo. Maybe Sabine just didn't realize she was... um.

Pippa got off the ground, trying in vain to dust herself off. At least the larger chunks fell from her clothes to the floor.

"Yeah, let's sweep this up." she looked around at all the dirt on the floor. "After that, you can use my shower if you want to."
