Fortunately Gus understood her mid-laugh request and was able to follow through even though she was still scrambling to even right herself, he was able to scoop her up and apparate out. The dizzying sensation was fortunately brief and then they were standing in her room at the boarding house. It wasn't where she would have thought they would have ended up, but it worked just fine.
She was dripping and still laughing, but she had her wits about her again and so she pulled her wand from her soaked bag and in a few flicks of her wrist, had a fire going, her bad drying out and some of the puddle on the floor cleaned up. "Thank you." She added as she started to kick off her shoes and shrug out of the layers she could. Soaked skirts and the one petticoat she did wear were weighing her down and she wanted out. "I have spare gents clothes in a drawer somewhere." They were Dory's but that was neither here nor there. Gus could probably figure out how to dry himself off if he wanted or he didn't have to deal with it if he didn't want to.
Winnie was stripping without one thought as to what Gus would think about that, pulling at buttons and hooks to get out of her wet things all the way down to her chemise which was also soaked through. That rainstorm was wild! She assumed it was different here in London and her fire didn't make much sense, but in the moment, she felt it necessary; she was freezing! "There's fixings for tea or cocoa and booze is in the cabinet!" She tossed over her shoulder before pulling the drenched final layer over her head, giving Gus a show she knew he wouldn't appreciate, but she also didn't care.
