Doable. Being useful. He does prefer to be useful. Winter creeps out into the kitchen proper and collects the level, holding it out in Stevie's direction without looking directly at him, and giving him plenty of space to grab the end without touching him.
Which sucks. He'd gotten so much better with touching people. He even kind of liked it, with some people. With this person, definitely. And now the thought makes his skin crawl. Makes him want to hide again.
But he's not hiding. He's staying out here at least ten minutes, dammit.
