The weather is great, the sun is starting to dip toward the horizon, and it's pleasantly mild. Time for an (extremely) old-fashioned low country boil.

We've got two small fire pits built out in front of the inn, each with a massive pot filled with loads of vegetables — corn, carrots, potatoes, onions — and of course the rainbow crabs Finnick and Annie discovered not long after we arrived here. We've even got salt, if you can believe it, although the red salt in this place is pretty spicy and usually makes me sweat, so I've only put it in the one pot, and then set a bowl of it out for garnishing.

Tables and chairs have been brought out from inside, a couple of them set aside specifically for piles of plates, bowls, cups and whatever potluck provisions the rest of the village brings.

[ No doubt its the military connection. Or maybe Steve is just so accustomed to looking out for his men -- once the Howlies, most recently the Avengers -- that not placing himself between civilians and potential danger is a concept that doesn't even occur to him anymore. At least not on a conscious level. ]

Just the people around here. Does that count?

[Either's a possibility, to be honest. And both are something that Jean-Luc can absolutely understand, for all that he's not about to say as much and doesn't imagine that Steve will either]

I don't see why it couldn't. We are from rather all over, as I've been led to believe.
