"Great," he drawls, his tone dry. "I have a free day coming up and I spend it losing my mind. That's, that's just fantastic."

He rests his chin on his hands, watching Doc rummaging through the kitchen's contents and trying to process all the information. There's some pursing of his lips and he nods along with the advice, even though his frown betrays his absolute bewilderment. Don't go out in a snowstorm? Yeah, okay, that sounds reasonable enough. He thinks he can do that. Like, he wasn't planning on it?

Carter almost asks if there are people around who do go out in a snowstorm but then more advice comes in that throws him.

"Answer the phone with haste and follow cryptic instructions, huh? Sounds like my day job."

It's gallows humor at best but he thinks you should be allowed that when you're going crazy.
