MHA #8, Thursday

It was getting colder. Not today, perhaps, but it was almost winter and overall the island was getting colder. This meant it was getting to be time for hot coffees (or teas) and more layers of clothing and more blankets.

More blankets were particularly important this year since someone had a tendency to hoard them in the night and Stark was not really inclined to try and steal them back even when he was cold. Adding more blankets to the bed (and to the couch) seemed like a better choice. Certainly an easier one. One or two blankets was enough when it was just him curling up under them but now he had a girlfriend...Faye who disliked being cold just as much as he did. Maybe even more.

He thought she'd like the blanket he'd found for her. He'd find out soon enough. And hopefully she wouldn't be too thrown by a small gift. As long as it didn't inspire any fleeing then things would be fine.
