[Some time early-ish in the day, the Soldier comes to knock on Eleven's house door, and once she opens it (or Nancy gets her for them), presents her with a homemade stuffed lion: tawny-colored, a little floppy, with shredded black flannel for a mane, and with large blue buttons for eyes. They offer it a little nervously-- she's probably too old for stuffed toys-- but dammit, it's a lion so it's thematic, and they worked hard on making it despite second-guessing themselves every step of the way. Everyone could use something soft to hug on a bad day.
It's cute, at least, in a very 30s-era-toy kind of way, and very soft.]

Sorry this is so late, but for them cute feels to make up for feel-feels
[ She accepts the toy with quiet delight, and trades him an army of bird origami for it. There's no visible progress in her work on them, but they'e grown bigger, as she's moved from candy wrappers to other materials, and has decorated them with her array of colourful pens.
A day or two later, they will receive a photo in their inbox, of a blanket fort. Inside of it, the lion and a stuffed alpaca are leaning against each other, almost but not quite hiding a walkie talkie behind them, as if they're guarding it.]
