CARTER & ROBBIE
since Kelly wasn't here, he knew he needed to do his best to make sure that Robbie was sorted out

Robbie was here. Robbie was here and he didn't remember and he didn't trust Carter and Kelly wasn't here and Carter didn't know why. He would have given anything to have his brother here, too, but since Kelly wasn't here, he knew he needed to do his best to make sure that Robbie was sorted out and settled in. Especially when Mark didn't know him and Gordo..well, Carter didn't know how much Gordo knew sometimes, just that he was from earlier than Carter was. And earlier than this Robbie, he supposed.

Carter still wasn't at a hundred percent, but he was moving better. There was a bald patch just under where his hair flipped over and he was debating shaving it all to let everything grow out, but it had been kind of nice, having it long again. But maybe that was something to do soon. It didn't take him long to get over to Pickman, parking in one of the spots on the street before making his way up the steps, a coffee and bag from home in hand.

Robbie might not remember him very well, but Carter remembered Robbie. And he remembered some of the foods and things he liked. If nothing else, coffee and some lunch might be a way to break the ice. Maybe. He hoped.

Finding room 157, he knocked, then stepped back as he waited.

This was all very exhausting. Every moment of every day for the last month has been exhausting. Losing time. Losing memories. People who kept telling him we know you we love you because you are pack pack pack and he didn't remember any of it. He knew nothing. He felt lost like he'd never find his way. Now he was here, even more lost than before. No Michelle Hughes. No Ezra. Robert, whatever his name was. No Kelly. No grass and lake water and sunshine.

He laid back on the bed he'd been assigned at Pickman, eyes closed, in the little room he supposed he was going to call his own while he was here. It was... marginally better than the basement dungeon room with the silver barrier he'd been in the last few days. Except he was loose here. He could go anywhere. He could you're hurting me Robbie please please please. Robbie sat up, inhaling deeply before exhaling slowly.

Carter. He could smell him in that breath, and he got up off the bed and made his way to the door, opening it only seconds after the knock. "Hey Carter." No point in inviting him in, Robbie had nothing in there yet. "Where we going?"

"Hey, Robbie." He smelled Robbie, of course, but there was just a hint of Kelly and mom and Ox and Joe and- home. Carter wanted to reach out and hug him, to inhale that scent, but he resisted the urge. For now. He didn't want to overwhelm him anymore than he already was.

"To my truck, first." Carter held out the paper bag and the steel tumbler in offering. "I brought you coffee and a sandwich to start. Truck can wait if you want to eat it here?"

	Carter could sense a bit of Robbie's..confusion and after a moment he trailed off, turning to look back at his friend. Brother? If Robbie wanted that. He didn't want to assume, but as he was Kelly's mate, Carter already thought of him as family. "Robbie?" He turned back to him, reaching a hand out to gently touch his shoulder. "You okay?"

	Carter felt a little of his own tension drain as Robbie hugged him back. "The moment you want to go, you say the word, alright?" He glanced to Alison, who motioned to a couple of racks toward the dressing rooms for men's clothing. "This way. It might be somewhere else next time you come in, but someone on staff can usually point you in the right direction." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Carter nodded. "More than one sweater. Some underwear- you'll want it." He laughed. "Yeah, there's a whole section of hats and shoes and belts and accessories. Along that wall over there, that should have most of it. But here we go- sweaters and jeans. T-shirts and other tops there, on that next one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
