"Thanks," he says, sliding carefully off the countertop to make his way slowly over to the table, telegraphing every motion so it's clear and stopping a few paces away to let Winter set up the drill for him. "Maybe I can get these done today, huh? You could stick around and supervise for a bit."
Something else to do, and to make it clear he's sure as hell not gonna make Winter talk about it if he doesn't want to.
