Jean takes the hand and follows Eddie out, gathering up their canteen and the wine, then their suit. They uh. They do not put on the suit. They walk their socked feet through the snowy ground into the house, wincing visibly at the Wet Sock Feeling (patent pending) but not, as it were, seemingly connecting any of the dots. Right now they have exactly two thoughts, one of which is the proposed Discourse, and the other of which is elevator music.
It is not, however, difficult to get Jean in front of the fire or to encourage them to remove the wet socks. There is a Moment when they realize something, which sends them into the kitchen with their canteen; they slosh it a few times, nod Sagely, and then add water to it before sitting back down next to the fire and working on opening the wine bottle again.
