Short summary: Zion asks why Eve and Yosemite are out. Yellowstone is basically spot on about why and what they say when they get back.
“Eve and Yosemite are gone again?”
Zion enters the cabin only to find Yellowstone doing the laundry. A few notebooks have been left out on the table, open and filled with Yosemite’s writing. It’s odd that Yosemite would just leave it out, unless Eve came back from her shift and distracted her.
“Yeah, I think they went out to ‘scream obscenities’. Or whatever they call it nowadays,” Yellowstone replies as she hangs out the clothes to dry. It’s summertime so Yellowstone doesn’t have to use her volcano for heating the clothes up, and Zion can help when she’s around in a little way by helping Yellowstone with the hanging. Yosemite is still bad at helping with chores but, well, at least she’s a lot better at giving thanks.
Speaking of which, Yosemite and Eve really didn’t have to go. “They could just do it here,” Zion says with a frown. “It’s not like we haven’t heard it before.”
Yellowstone laughs. “Aw, I think they’re just embarrassed about how lovey-dovey they are. They don’t want to do it ‘in front of the kids’.”
“You mean…”
“I bet they are out there screaming ‘I LOVE YOU EVE’ and ‘I LOVE YOU YOSEMITE’ and listening to the echoes.” Yellowstone grins. “I mean, it sounds dope AF to me.”
Zion can’t help but smile. “That’s cute.”
“Not as cute as you, sweetie! But yeah, they’ll be back soon, saying somethin’ like ‘Sure was good to scream about that idiot who didn’t remember to pack water’...”
The cabin door swings open. Eve and Yosemite don’t bother to be quiet about their arrival. And they are holding hands! It still makes Zion happy every time she sees it.
Eve huffs. “Sure was good to scream about that dumbass that-“
“See?” Yellowstone exclaims, cutting Eve off.
Zion giggles. Yosemite’s eyes move from Eve to Zion. “What’s so funny, Zion?”
“Nothing!”
It’s more like Zion is just so happy that Eve is back, Yosemite is happy, and everyone is together, here in this cabin that serves as home.
