[A short while after his conversation with Bucky, Stiles takes stock of all the coats, hats, gloves and scarves that are all over his floor thanks to The Admiral. It takes him an hour and a half to sort everything by size, then color, draping some of the piles on his bed, some on his desk, and some that have no other place to go but the floor. There's not much of a walkway, but it's big enough that kids can come in and get what they need.

After that's done, he drops down in his desk chair and turns on the camera, arching his eyebrows.]

I've got coats, gloves, scarves and hats for everyone under sixteen that's found themselves wanting to play on the deck in the snow and doesn't have them. I'm in 712 if you need something.

[Stiles can't help but laugh softly at Kira's excitement.]

Yes, definitely. What's your favorite color?

spelling ttly on purpose

[whatthefoxsay]

[Shouted with great enthusiasm,]

PURRRRRPULLLLL

XD she's adorable

[voluntaryapnea]

Purple it is. [He chuckles again and stands up, moving to dig through a pile of coats and locating a pretty lavender one.]

What do you think?

[whatthefoxsay]

[She is visibly pleased.] I like it!

[Then,]

Stiles?

[Oh, no. Big eyes. Big, big eyes. Danger Stiles Stilinski, danger!]

Can we sit together with hot cocoa and you can read me comic books? Pleeeeeeeease?

[voluntaryapnea]

[...uh oh. He knows he's in trouble. He's always been a sucker for big eyes. He blames Scott for that. And Lydia. And now Kira. Dammit.

Although, really, her request isn't anything stressful or even difficult. He relaxes, grinning.]

Yeah, definitely. What comic books do you want me to read to you? I've got a lot. Or we can read some of yours.

[whatthefoxsay]

[She claps her hands.] Yay! X-Men! And Batman! And Spider-Man! And Wonder Woman! And Teen Titans!

What do you have?

[voluntaryapnea]

[He grins, amusement in his eyes. If they're going to be reading all of that, they probably better get started...]

Batman, Justice League, Green Arrow, and...you know what? Why don't you come down and you can look through everything I've got and pick out what you want me to read to you.

to action spam?

[whatthefoxsay]

[She brightens (if it were possible) even more, eyes lighting up in a normal kid way, not a golden-eyed kitsune way.] Okay!

[Within minutes there is tiny, eager tapping at his door. Which upon opening, he will find the littlest Kira clutching a bag of tiny marshmallows in one hand and a couple of packets of cocoa in the other. No hot water, no cups. She can only manage so much.]

Spam!

[voluntaryapnea]

[It's okay. He has coffee mugs, because his dad's kitchen is part of his cabin, even if he rarely uses it for anything aside from storing soda. He should probably remedy that. He grins down at her and reaches down to help her since she's tiny and her hands only hold so much.]

Come on in. Make sure the coat fits okay. I'll go get started on the hot chocolate.

[whatthefoxsay]

Hi Stiles!! [Her face lights up when she sees him, because Stiles is her best comic book and Star Wars and everything super cool friend.

Dutifully she heads for the pile of clothes, picking up the purple coat and trying it on. Fortune smiles, as it's only a smidgen too large, which in her mommy's words, means she'd grow into it and that's acceptable. Happily, she twirls around, holding her arms out at her sides and making plane noises.]

Thaaaaaaaaaank youuuuuuuuuu.

[Abruptly she stops, sits down right there on the floor and giggles.] Dizzy!
