[Suddenly finding himself with a broom in his hand, he looks over to the direction Ellie points at. Seeing the comic only made press his lips together into a tight line.]

You were making all that racket for a comic?

[While he didn't mind the growing obsession she had for the reading material, he never understood the appeal of comics.]

Don't you have enough of those already?

[fornothing]

It's not just a "comic" to me, you know.

[It's the one thing she can say she does that normal kids do. It provides nice downtime between scavenging and fighting for her life. Plus, comic book super heroes always save the day. Having an optimistic outlook, even if it's just in fiction, always helps to lighten the mood.

She takes a step back and folds her arms, brows furrowed and pouting.]

I do, but I don't have that one. I can tell by the cover. [A pause.] If you don't want to help me get it though, that's fine. I'll just read out loud from my joke book all night.

[Joel can't help but groan. The last time that happened, he almost wished for a Clicker to show up just to shut her up. Almost.]

You do that and every Runner within earshot will come... running.

[And he punches himself mentally for that. He didn't mean for it to sound like he was joking around.]

[Ellie nearly forgets what she's doing for a minute, stunned silent as she stares at Joel. And then there's the laughing. The knee-smacking, tears in her eyes kind of laugh that's so rare that really, it should be welcome. Welcome were she not laughing at him anyway.]

Oh man... [And dramatically wiping a tear from her eye.] Okay, you have to get me the book now, or else you'll never live that one down.

[Spoiler alert: even if he gets the book, she'll probably still never let it go.]

[crosscountry]

[Oh, Joel's more than certain that there's no way he'll be able to live that one down. All he could do now was sigh but he shrugs it off, hoping that they could at least get off the topic.]

Fine, fine. Let's get this over with.

[Finally he gets down to a crouch, one hand holding onto where ground meets water, the other extending the broom to the other end. He tries to nudge the comic from the ledge to the broom but it's slow-going. Doing this is hard with only one hand, okok?]

[fornothing]

[Ellie watches him struggle awkwardly to nudge the comic, and it's then that she sighs. This may require... another method. She crouches down next to him, hands on her knees.]

You know, I wouldn't be against the whole "get on this floating plank of wood" thing right now.

[It's not her most favourite thing in the world, and Joel's the one who gets totally soaked anyway. The comic book is worth it! As is the reprieve from the joke book, right?]

[crosscountry]

[While the idea has crossed his mind, Joel could see that he just needed a few more nudges until he got that comic. If he could avoid getting wet today, then, he'd spare himself the hassle.]

Just give me a second. Almost got it now—

[And just as he says that, Joel's hand slips on the moss that had grown at the ledge's edge, and he takes a dive into the near freezing cold water.]
