Characters: Steph, Zach, Al, Church, Luna, Kesara, Watson, Quark, Tifa
Location Building 58 and environs
Date: Days 157/158
Summary: A meeting of many people
Warnings: In comment headers, please!

58: A simple single-story building, the snow weighs uneasily on it, and it creaks and groans under the strain at the best of times. It's very dark, and only the kitchen and living room are intact. The kitchen has a back door. Two snowmen have been built outside. A message has been written on the wall in blue ink: "Don't wreck the snowmen! That's super mean!" "ALPHONSE ELRIC, MAMI TOMOE, FREYA CRESCENT, GREED, EDWARD ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, DAY FORTY ONE, TRAVELLING EAST." has been carved into one of the walls. The following has been written on the wall in blue pen: "This is Building 95 97 on the composite map. Contact @CaptSteveRogers for details." Underneath this is a fairly accurate map showing the house in relation to the school and buildings 29, 35, 35, 37, 40, 41, 47, 48, 50, 53. House 34 is labeled "Medical assistance; hot, clean water. Contact Dr. Epps @claytonator". The school is labeled "School. Food available in cafeteria; DO NOT STAY HERE OVERNIGHT." The shed is labeled "Shed".

I'll be right back. Promise.

[ And then, once he lets her go, she dives into hugging Al, and then talking briefly with Church.

Then she's back, slipping both arms around his waist so they can hug-walk all the way back to building 58. ]

[He's cold, all the time she's away from him, but he listens to her voice, swaying a little in the snow. He gives a tiny yelp of surprise when she's back to hugging him, but it's all too good and easy to grip her and hold her tight. They start walking, but he stops, just to be able to kiss her again - sorry Al and Church - forehead, cheekbone, cheek, her nose. He never wants to stop touching her, making sure she's here.]

[ Steph laughs as he kisses her, but drags him along the road. If they don't reach the building she left their things in they'll be having one very cold night. She does give him a quick kiss on the lips. ]

Come on, you. Plenty of time for that when we're settled for the night.

[majorlazer]

Barely, to be fair. We'll find some privacy at some point, but not tonight.

[They won't have a chance to be alone, not tonight that's for sure, and he wouldn't want either of these guys to have to deal with excessive, kinda gross PDA. He gets it. It's annoying. He's not going to do that to them.]

Soon, though. Pinkie promise.

[spoileralert]

[ She finds his pinkie and links it with hers - their first proper pinkie promise. ]

Pinkie promise.
