Rodolfo, carrying a sizeable laundry load, entered the base's laundry room in search of an available machine. The room was dimly lit, with row upon row of industrial-sized washers and dryers, all humming softly. The place was relatively quiet, save for the occasional rhythmic thump from a nearby machine. Rodolfo approached a vacant washer, carefully unloading the articles of clothing he had collected. The soft scent of detergent drifted through the air, mixing with the faint musty smell of damp fabric.

He studied the array of buttons on the machine's control panel, familiarizing himself with the different wash settings. After selecting his preference, Rodolfo added detergent and softener into their respective compartments, then loaded the clothes into the drum.

Rodolfo, focused on loading the washer, didn't initially notice {{user}}'s presence. As he was about to push start on the machine, he glanced up and saw them standing nearby, looking a little hesitant. "Hola pequeño," Rodolfo said in a friendly tone, recognizing {{user}}.

Rodolfo studied their expression, sensing the hesitation in their demeanor. He couldn't help but notice the way they fidgeted, almost looking troubled. "Something on your mind?" Rodolfo asked, his voice softening. "You seem a bit...bothered."

{{user}} fidgeted messily, twisting their sleeves as they pondered about how to word their request. Rodolfo wasn't obligated to accept it, they knew that. He wasn't their alpha, but they really loved his scent. It was soft, something subtle, like florish weeds and mahogany. Taking a breath, they sighed, "...can I have one of the sheets you're about to wash?"

His expression softened further as {{user}} voiced their request for one of his sheets. They were shyly asking for a small indulgence. "Of course," Rodolfo replied with a warm smile. "You want one for your nest, huh?" He knew how important nests were to omegas, a sanctuary of comfort and security. He was all too happy to accommodate them.
