It's snowing -- should I come get you?

No- I'll move fast. Stay with Rain.

Okay.

[There's that note in his voice. Something wrong.]

[It takes longer than it should for Break to get there.]

[By then he'll be outside, high in the air on the Zoomer, trying to get a glimpse of Break on the ground, anywhere.]

[He's easy to spot- walking up Al's lawn, in the rainbow winter set of hat, scarf, mittens that Undertaker knit him.]

[Al will come down, Break will be able to hear the motor, followed by the footsteps -- and then shortly after, Break will have Al's arms around his shoulders, hugging tightly for a moment.

He's terrified, but this is the only way he'll show it. He lets go a second later.]

Everything is going to be all right.

[... he wasn't expecting comfort from Break of all people -- but he supposes he should.]

... we'll make it all right.

[His voice is much stronger than that hug would have suggested.]

We will.

[A pat on the head, for good measure.]

[Al ducks his head a little -- reflex. He reaches up as if to take Break's hand but seems to think better of it. Instead it's a brush of fingers against the back of his wrist.]

Inside, let's get warmed up first.

[He hurries forward, with a nod.]

Tea?

Chamomile or green tea?

[The door creaks open.]

Let's blend both. It's lovely.

I've never actually had that.

[He still can't be completely calm. He has to get it under control for Rain, but... there. Kitchen. There are chairs, a kitchen table.]

... Break. Do you have any idea of what's going on?
