“My hands are so cold.” (Grey & Evie)

Grey hunkered down, glancing at her hands as if there was something to look at to determined just how cold they were. "Here." He pulled out a shoddily crafted pair of gloves, clearly made from several damaged bits of fabric sewn together, with suspicious holes at the fingertips of nearly every finger. "I run hot these days, anyway. Too hot." He looked around the river's edge, looking for enough of a bank that they could sit down and he could make a small fire pit. "I'll get a fire going, we can sit for a bit until you can feel your toes enough to walk back. Wouldn't want Bozo to have to tough it out, either." He smirked, gesturing to Frodo with a small nod of his head. @ragdclls

"You’ve always been my favourite." (Grey & Evie)

Grey went real still, the crackling of the fire now seemingly so loud that it felt like it was coming from inside his brain; and the heat on his face and the back of his neck attested to that. "I smell like wet dog and live in a shack held together with spit and hope, and I'm your favourite? I think that says more about you, sister." He scrubbed his hand over his beard, trying to hide the way he couldn't stop the smile from scrawling itself onto his face. "Talk like that could ruin a man like me, you know that?" He chuckled, looking away, brain desperately scrambling for what was socially appropriate to say back. "I mean, you've been my favourite since the first time you didn't run away in horror. Just...didn't think I'd ever get to hear you say it back." @ragdclls

❝ Do you want to bake cookies with me? ❞ (Evie & Grey)

"Do I look like some kinda monster who says no to cookies?" Grey hopped up so fast the crate he was sat on nearly flipped over. He stumbled, but managed to catch himself. "I mean, pfft, obviously, I'm a professional baker. I once made a mud pie so good a squirrel tried to bury it for later. That counts, right? They're a tough audience." He scratched the back of his neck, trying to find a way to be honest without making things weird. "I, uh, I haven't actually used an oven since...Well, since...ever. I kinda, stuff came up, you know?"
