[Natalia swears that on a normal occasion, she's 300% capable of laundry. She's been in this colony for months and she's not so desperate that she'll ask Archer to handle her clothes. No way.
But couple the exhaustion from the reconstruction efforts along with her novice-status at all things domestic and you've suddenly got the laundry room full of bubbles.
At least it was only her bed sheets (and canopy drapes) that she was trying to wash but this is definitely Natalia throwing open the door to the rest of her apartment and some bubbles tumbling out onto the floor.
[ at this point, one can imagine Zara's gotten accustomed to that tentative summons of hers. The alarm call, if you will. She's the type of person who tries to do everything independently - an admirable trait, other than the fact that she includes things she doesn't know how to do at all.
Zara's just finished preparing some vegetables for a salad when she calls him; he does his best to help out around the house when he can convince her to let him do so. As he's untying his apron, Natalia's voice reaches him, and he takes a few step backwards to peer down the hall at her. ]
Yes? What is it... [ it sounds like it was a question at one point, but then he notices the bubbles at her feet... ]
[ he can guess that much just by looking; still, he ends up staring in shock for a solid few seconds before his brain tries to cobble together a plan of action ]
Natalia! [ Zara exclaims, both scolding and alarmed at the same time. ] G -- get the towels!
[ at the very least, they should try and stop too much water damage from happening... he can't think of anything else off the top of his head. ]
[ oh lord. Zara's hurrying his way towards the linen closet, as well, when Natalia starts slipping. If he were in his native habitat, the dating sim, this would be the part where he catches her gracefully and turns to ask her "daijoubu" in a manly fashion.
Alas, he's just in Cerealia, so the best he can do is sort of scramble towards her, try to catch her by the arms, and end up slipping, himself. ]
Careful -- ack!!
[ at least there's a soft bunny rabbit to cushion her fall instead of the floor? ]
[Apparently this has wandered out of dating sim and entered romantic comedy territory.
Except given both of their personalities, this is actually just a roommate sitcom. Which is why Natalia is just squealing in surprise and this isn't going any better at all.]
Ah -- Zara, are you alright?!
[Admittedly before he can even respond, she's trying to heal him. INTENSE CONCERN.]
[ there's no need to waste your MP on bruises, Natalia!! ]
I'm fine... [ he grunts, even though his tail and rear end are none too happy with him at the moment. Pushing himself up with his elbows, he sets one hand on her shoulder to try and gently ease her off - though the motion becomes a little rough when he finally gets a glance into the laundry room. The laundry room which is currently completely flooded with foam. ]

Tentatively, she calls out:]
.... Zara, might you have a moment....?!

help her, zara.
I may have miscalculated how much soap to put in the laundry device.
she's beyond help

But she can listen to directions at least. So she nods once and then moves to dash and retrieve some towels as directly
and loses her balance because what do you know, soap suds are slippery]
Ah!
