— patrols always worked wonders for freddie’s ego. there was something about wandering with a group of people - purposefully placing himself up in the front so he could be the center of attention - that could boost anyone’s confidence in themselves. not that freddie needed the boost, nor was he hurting nearly as much as others in the lodge. he tried not to cringe at the reminder of all the shit that’d been going on around the lodge. will and joey’s failed proposal, though not concerning him, still left an uncomfortable prick beneath his skin. that was his brother, after all - the second-hand embarrassment was enough to make him almost want to fume over it like his brother had been. stretching his arms above his head, he sighed casually.
good thing he never had relationship problems. people should really try to follow freddie’s lead when it came to their own lives; he was obviously quite the expert at knowing how to live. everyone around here concerned themselves too much with things like love - fred tried not to retch - or finding the dead bodies of those they loved. did people actually find aiden’s body, anyway? those that knew her seemed to be completely broken by her disappearance. unbelievable. ... how would he feel if mollie went missing? humming his thoughts to an abrupt stop, he cleared his throat slowed to a stop as they neared the small waterfall. yeah. people could use this fresh air, he reasoned.
he looked at the gentle water trickling down, slowing to a stop - much to the annoyance of the person behind them as they bumped into him, releasing an irritated huff.
“just because it’s a patrol doesn’t mean we can’t sight-see right?” he stepped over the small stream of water with a tiny bit of a leap. turning his head to watch someone else try and follow suit -- just to slip and go tumbling into the little stream. they stood up quickly and scrambled towards the other side.
“shit’s freezing.”
fred looked like he was trying not to laugh, voice wavering from withheld amusement as he remarked, “look out; it’s slippery.”
