As the morning progressed, the three moved from the kitchen to the house’s small but comfortable living room in order to have tea and continue their chat. A couple hours and four cups of hot tea later, the three noticed that the daylight had changed and the sun was now neatly covered by puffy looking clouds. Solveig looked out through the window.
“What is it, Sol?” Lily asked.
Getting up from her seat, Solveig walked closer to the window.
“What’s on your mind?” Marianne asked her daughter, sipping from her cup of tea.
Solveig continued to ponder as she gazed at the landscape, eventually taking a hand to her waist and starting to turn back to her friend and her mother.
“I was just thinking that it might be a good time to get the extra wood we need” she said.
“Wood?” Lily asked.
“Oh!” Marianne placed her cup of tea on the table, “you don’t have to do that right now, dear. Lily is with us, so…”
“All the better! She can come with me” Solveig continued.
“What?” Lily shrunk, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Solveig.
“Come on, it’s just a little walk to the woods”
“A walk to the woods to get wood, got it” Lily said jokingly, “except that I’ve never chopped wood before!”
“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t make you cut the wood. It’s just so we exercise a little bit” Solveig said, walking to a corner and withdrawing a neat-looking axe from a safe case, “besides, we have to burn all that we ate”
Lily grimaced and groaned in slight distress for a moment, but then shrugged and started getting up from her seat.
“Okay, okay, let’s go”
Shortly after, the two walked out of the house as Marianne saw them off from the doorstep as they headed into the woods. Minutes passed as they ventured deeper into it, unnoticed by a lively chat between the two as they caught up in smaller details about their miscellaneous and personal affairs.
About twenty minutes later, Lily started to notice pressure at her lower belly which shortly led to her realizing that she had to pee. Not only that, but the need had arrived quite strong, likely from the several mugs of juice she drank combined with the warm tea the three of them shared immediately after. Meanwhile Solveig, rubbing her belly as she frowned, figured that something was off considering how her intestines were making strange noises.
“Say, Sol, how further in should we go?” Lily said, nervously looking around as she fidgeted on the spot, “I think we’re pretty far in already”
“There is a designated area for, uh…” Solveig interrupted herself to puff some air out, sighing afterwards as she rubbed her belly again. “Wood chopping. We can’t do it immediately close to the village”
“Is it like a campsite?” Lily asked, rubbing her thighs over her long skirt.
“More or less” Solveig replied, looking at her, “why?”
“I have to pee” she said, looking at Solveig while rubbing her own legs, this time closer to the crotch, “really bad”
In response to her action, Solveig felt another cramp coming from her intestines, almost compelling her to lean forward from the pain she felt. However, she only frowned and rubbed her lower belly again.
“Well, there is a latrine on the site so we can use that once we’re there” Solveig continued as she resumed her walk. Lily looked at her in confusion.
“Oh, you have to go, too?” She said, following after her. Solveig hesitated and looked around with her eyes.
“Yeah, kinda…”
The two continued to walk, trying to put their situation in the back of their heads as they got closer to the campsite.
Another fifteen minutes later, however, the Solveig’s cramps had become more intense and constant while Lily’s bladder was as positively full and likely swelling further every second that passed, giving her an agonizing painful and stinging sensation down at her urethra. The two were barely able to walk, but they did everything they could not to slow the pace.
