The story feels familiar, but like her, that night is a blur of excitement and terror and he can't actually remember. Still, the thought of the Doctor falling through the ice makes him clench his teeth.

"I am glad that you did," he assures her. "He needs to not be alone in that home. He needs to have eyes on him."

Once on the snow, Michonne relaxes, some of the tension leaving her shoulders now that she's surer of her footing.

"Being alone isn't good for anyone. Learned that lesson a long time ago. Hard to stick with sometimes, especially here at first, not knowing what the hell. But I have to admit, friends I'm making aren't half bad." She gently knocks him with her shoulder, just enough so he knows she means him.

She nods toward the direction of the shared cabin. "Could come this way first and warm up, not like anyone'd be upset to see you."

Friends.

He likes having actual friends. It wasn't something he could have at home. He was busy trying to make ends meet, to care for his mother, to care for his brother, to bring in enough money to keep food on the table. He just - didn't have time for friends.

But here, time is all he has. "I'm warm enough," he says, but pauses when he realizes that it was actually an invitation. "But I wouldn't mind the company."
