Although it's just the last damn thing she wants to do on a cold, snowy and slushy wet day Hugi has to go out to run some errands and get some food. Her leg is completely encased in a fiber leg cast. It can't accommodate her jeans so she has to cut her pants leg clean off before it can be worn. She also can't where a normal shoe of course on her cast foot. She needed a heel to accommodate her other shoe so instead of the normal flat cast boot she got an ortho shoe with a heel on it. The problem is it's only a half shoe that ends abruptly before her toes. This means her exposed toes blast out of her cast and straight out the front of the shoe! They kind of just hang in the air with nothing under them for support. While the heel of the ortho shoe keeps her poor toes off the ground, depending on how she steps they will still touch the wet snowy pavement. So she pulls the only thing she can over her poor exposed toes to keep them warm and protect them: A big woolly pink cast sock. She goes out this way, with a cane for balance in a single knee high boot and pants leg. While she walks its obvious the bottom of her sock is getting dirtier and wetter with each step! Its cold and disgusting and her toes are freezing in the damp sock. So she finds a bench where she can put up her cast leg, pull off her dirty wet sock and warm her toes with her hand and she massages in between her poor toes. It's a comforting feeling but only for a moment. She can't continue walking bare toed in this cold slushy mess, so she has no choice but to put her wet soggy cold sock over her poor toes and continue her gimp.
