Daniel had been planning to go out and get groceries that day, but he'd woken up and seen the way the light was shining through the bedroom curtains and that had changed his mind. He pushed the curtains open to confirm, but he didn't really need to. He'd been through enough big snowstorms in his life that he knew what sunlight on a lot of snow looked like. And well, that meant he wasn't going anywhere in a hurry. This modern prosthetic was good, with the microprocessors in the knee and everything, but he was still gonna wait until things got cleaned up a little.
Since he wasn't going anywhere, he took things slow and he didn't bother putting his leg on after he showered. Instead he put on a soft green wool sweater and a pair of cotton plaid flannel pants that had a button on the outside of the thigh and two elastic loops on the hem so he could fold up the extra fabric to keep it out of his way. He made a pot of coffee and then was settling into his reading chair with a book when someone knocked on his door.
He wasn't expecting anyone, and he frowned, but got up from the chair and crutched over to the door. The knock came again, and he also heard more knocks much lower down on the door, along with two muffled voices saying "Dan-yell! Knock knock!"
Inej. It was Inej and the twins, and he didn't have his leg on. Damn. He couldn't leave them standing in the hall while he went and put his leg on, and also he wasn't going to hide in his apartment like he wasn't there. He took a very deep breath and then flipped the deadbolt and opened the door with a smile. He had no idea how this was gonna go. No one here had seen him not "all put together" as it were except Peggy, Tom, and maybe now Inej.
