I mean, I'm not buried in dogs, but I'm surviving.

[She should probably just get to the point, and considering he's surrounded by dogs right now maybe it'll be enough to sway him.]

Majima is throwing together a surprise for Bruce and we thought you'd make a really good Santa.

[lednikovyy]

Depends on how much we're surprising him.

[ It's not so much Bucky worrying about the Hulk as much as he's worrying about not making something stressful for Bruce when it's intended to be fun. The guy's been a good friend and he's got a lot of self-created stress from what Bucky can tell. ]

[morethan084]

I only have a vague idea of how it's going down. All I know is I'm in charge of making paper snowflakes and trying to persuade you into being Santa.

[lednikovyy]

I'll put on a Santa suit for you and Majima. [ He chuckles. ] And for Bruce. He feeds me enough that I owe him more than a few favors by now.

[morethan084]

That's the Christmas spirit!

[...]

Any idea where can I find a Santa costume?

[lednikovyy]

No, that one's on you.

[ Not that he wouldn't help if he had half a clue about that. ]

[morethan084]

Gee thanks. Maybe I can make you one out of paper.

[Yeah, she should probably go buy paper too.]

I should probably let you go so you can go back to being attacked by dogs.

[lednikovyy]

Paper clothes sound like a great idea. They could have protected me from all these fearsome dogs.

[morethan084]

Yeah but imagine the papercuts.

[lednikovyy]

Good point. I'll make sure I wear underwear. Thanks for looking out.

[morethan084]

Just looking out for the important things.

[Why did he put up with her?]

What size are you in shirts and pants?

[lednikovyy]

I have no idea. Large?

[ From a guy who finds a few shirts and wears them until they disintegrate. ]

[morethan084]

Seriously? I guess I'll have to eyeball it.

[How does he not know his own size?]

[lednikovyy]

It's Santa. Just make it huge and I'll stick a pillow in it.

[ A pause. ]

I can't believe how easily I said yes to this.

[morethan084]

[That gets a smile out of her.]

I can. You're a total push over.

[lednikovyy]

You sure you aren't some kinda criminal mastermind?

[ He smiles right back. ]

[morethan084]

I'm not sure what that has to do with this.

[She totally does.]

[lednikovyy]

Of course you don't, Skye.

[ He laughs. ]

I'll talk to you soon.

[morethan084]

[Skye smiles at his laugh.]

I'll let you know when I've finished your paper Santa outfit. Good luck with the dogs.
