[At least it wasn't a mountain this time, but just a small summer cabin in the middle of a forest. And the snow wasn't even coming down that hard, though long falls had its own dangers. As far as getting snowed in goes, it could've gone worse. This place was well stocked.]
I don't think we'll make it back out before nightfall. Might as well stay here.
[The annoyed glare turns into a brow creasing scowl.]
So you're just goin' out to play? We've still got... things to do! [Not really, they don't have their plans or equipment, but the idea of just playing while they were technically on a mission just didn't sit right with him.]
[He opens his mouth to say something, but closes it with a disgruntled noise when he couldn't think of anything they could do. He changes topics grumpily.]
Has your comm come back up? Nate and Sophie must be lookin' for us.
[Great, now Parker looked like she was about to start sulking. The hitter sighed from where he was trying to light the fireplace and looked back over to her.]
[An hour later, a flushed and chilly Parker returns, firewood in her arms, while the front of the cabin has the lovely edition of an Eliot snowman.
Yes, Eliot, you read that right. It even has your hair and the appropriate scowl. She's going to build snowman of everyone, but she wanted to get Eliot his wood first]
[By then the cabin was warmed by the ongoing fire. A nice smell was drifting from it where Eliot had set some foodstuff to cook as well.]
Lay them out in a row on the ground in front of the fire. They'll need to be dried before we can use them.
[Eliot was working on repairing a window. If they were going to use up the owner's stores, the least he could do was help fix the place up. Thankfully, it was a window that did not face the front, so he remained blissfully oblivious to Parker's devotion.]

[she does want to go play in the snow, but more than anything she just doesn't want to sit still. So give her something to do, Eliot.]

Check in every so often in case the comms get back on. And bring me some wood from the shed outside.
