[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.

[She screws up her little face into a hard, thoughtful look, then lets out a yelp and slaps both her hands over her face in frustration.]

I can't decide! It's too hard!

[He can't help but chuckle at her reaction.]

Okay, why don't you come down here and try on a couple different ones and we'll see which one you like better then?
