[But everyone will know and what if they laugh and then she won't know what to say or do...]
I'm sorry. [She really should have been more careful. Should have fallen in a way that wouldn't have endangered Åsa. Should have kept a closer eye on their dog.]
[That really bothers her the most about the whole thing. Other people are a source of stress, but nothing is more important than that Åsa is unhurt and not too angry with her. That she's well and will stay around.]
You can't always be worrying about 'could haves' and maybes! You didn't! Besides, Floweregg tripped us, you couldn't have stopped it. And I don't hurt so easily. I have three older brothers, remember?
[As was she, and worse perhaps due to having fallen in an unlucky position... luckily, and oddly, she had recovered quicker than she would have thought, and she still wonders if that has to do with the immortality.]
You were worse! [No hiding that from her, and she pouts unseen.] So don't try and use that against me! Bruises are nothing anyway, I'm not going to spend my whole life wrapped up in cotton wool.
[Sure, Floweregg sometimes acts much older than she is, but then at other times not...she assumes that that is because of her whole being a sentient dog thing.]

Does it bother you, though?

I talked to Floweregg.
[Much later, once it was clear that the puppy had recovered from the shock and was unharmed.]

[Floweregg was shocked and hurt herself, but... really, that couldn't be left unadressed either.]
