Winter grimaced. "Yuck. Hopefully." He agreed, taking a deep breath and letting it out again.

Mycah set down their plate by the sink and turned on the faucet. The water wasn't too bad, but they would have liked a little more of it.

Winter came over, setting his plate by the edge and picking up the pot to see if there was anything left.

Mycah started running their plate under the water, which got it decently clean. "Did we get soap?" They asked, looking over at Winter. If they had, these plates would be much cleaner, but if not… Well, who knew?

Winter blinked. "Uh…I didn't grab any, no." He said slowly. "So unless you did, we don't have any." He frowned slightly.

"I did not. We should probably get that at some point. It wouldn't be fun to get out of everything just to die because of getting sick," Mycah said, running their plate under the water again before picking up Winter's plate.

Winter sighed softly. "Yeah." He agreed. "We can go shopping again sometime tomorrow." He shrugged slightly.

"Probably a good idea." Mycah nodded, running Winter's plate under the water a few times before placing it next to their plate to dry. They cleaned the utensils, then looked at the pot Winter had used to make dinner. "Is that ready to be rinsed off?"

Winter nodded, putting the uneaten portion in the fridge. "Yeah." He replied, handing it to Mycah with a quick smile.

Mycah carefully rinsed off the pot, trying their best to clean it off. When they got soap, they'd have to re-wash everything, but for now, it was fine.

Winter let out a breath. "So, now what? Bed? Or…?" he made a face, trailing off since he wasn't quite sure what else there was to do.

"Yeah, I guess. We should probably get some cards or something to pass the time. I know quite a few card games," Mycah said slowly. It seemed like they had a lot of things to add to their list of things to get.

Winter nodded a little bit. "We should…do we have anywhere to write that down?" he asked, raising his eyebrows at Mycah.

"Um." Mycah looked around, then patted their pockets. "I'll go check in my bag. Maybe a pad of paper and a pen or something made it in there." They walked over to their bag and started rummaging through it.

Winter nodded, running a hand through his hair. "Alright. Thanks." he said with a quick smile.

"Hmm," Mycah hummed softly, still looking through their bag. They finally found a pad of paper, half-used, and a pen. They only hoped the pen would work and quickly tested it on the back of the pad of paper. "Perfect." The pen worked, and they jotted down 'dish soap' and 'cards' onto the first sheet. "There we go."

Winter nodded a little bit. "Great." he replied with a smile. "We'll get those tomorrow, hopefully." he ran a hand through his hair, coming over to Mycah.

"Yep." Mycah agreed, standing up. They put the notepad on the dining room table, just because that seemed like the place where they wouldn't forget it. "Now… to bed?" Mycah asked, looking up at Winter.

Winter nodded a little bit. "Sure." he replied with a quick smile.

"Alright." Mycah nodded and started up to the room they'd chosen. They carefully made their way to their sleeping bag and knelt down next to it.

Winter went over to his own sleeping bag, crawling into it and laying on his back, looking at the ceiling. "…these floorboards are not very soft."

Mycah crawled into their own sleeping bag and grimaced. "Yeah, no. But at least it's all flat. No rocks or roots," They said softly, trying to find a more comfortable position. There really wasn't one, and they wrinkled their nose. "Still…"

Winter nodded, sighing. "Yikes." he rolled onto his side, shaking his head slightly.

Mycah eventually found a semi-comfortable possition, though that might have just been because they were tired and stopped caring. But their eyes closed, and they slowly started drifting off to sleep.

Winter eventually fell asleep, laying on his side, facing the door.
