[ it's never as easy as asking and getting a straightforward answer, perspective colors everything. any answers they find are ones Tink suspects they'll have to seek out from more than a single source. she doesn't mind going in blind when there are so many others in the same situation, but Steve is right - it's hard to move forward unless they know what they've gotten themselves into.]
That's a relief. Maybe everyone will find a little peace, if only for a few hours.
[ nothing they can do until morning, they might as well slow down for the night.]
I do, my tent survived the landing. What about you?
Let me guess, you're going to take it upon yourself to look out for us all?
[ it's not that Tinker Bell disagrees with the concept - they'd be safer that way, especially hen facing an unknown. she just worries about someone suffering through a night of this without any relief. not everyone needs sleep to keep going, but it doesn't hurt to give their minds a rest for a while.]
I don't suppose I could convince you to let us do that in shifts? There are plenty of capable people here.
[ people like Tink, who's more than willing. still, that doesn't seem to be in the nature of someone who'd think of staying up to begin with.]

that icon is so pretty????
[ Steve shrugs.
He plans on staying out here and ... watching over things for a bit. Someone's got to, and he's got the stamina and the experience in doing so. ]
But I'll be fine.
[ He smiles, going for light-heartedness to break through the tension. ]
Especially after another couple mugs of coffee.

[ Steve's expression is mild, amiable enough, but equally determined to convince her that she doesn't need to suggest such a thing.
He'll be just fine; look at him.
You guessed it right, Tink. ]
