Nah, it doesn't need to be a total surprise. Just looking to have some fun -- and be smug.
[ They're heading steadily toward the edge of town and then outside of it toward the woods. There's a small wooden hut set a ways back into the forest that Root's angling them to... ]
[ Root lets her go with a roll of her eyes, letting her have this one and noting for later that she should apparently be blindfolding Shaw sometime.
The cabin is indeed their final destination, and as Shaw comes up on it she'll realize it's a traditional free-standing Finnish sauna. The coal stove is already fired up and warm, a nice contrast to the thin layer of snow scattered around the area. ]
[Shaw isn't overly familiar with saunas, rare as they are in all of the places she's ever lived - but she's been to Scandinavia a time or two for jobs, and when she's close enough to get an inkling, she stops and half-turns to look back over her shoulder, arching an amused brow at Root.]
That's up to you. The extent of my planning was to leave the beer in the snow, leave Bear on watch, and cuddle up with my hot partner in a hot place.
[ In their underwear, of course, hence Root's earlier instructions. And you're definitely not supposed to eat in saunas, but if they clean up after themselves, who really cares? ]
Food first; these sandwiches deserve to be eaten by people who aren't sweaty.
[But she can eat while standing, so after setting the bag from the liquor store down on the ground outside the cabin, she proceeds to do just that - still watching Root with a little grin on her face.]
How'd you find this? You don't go walking around in the woods much, do you?

I would have let you.
[But then she's immediately charging ahead and down the path, powerwalking towards that cabin that she's betting is their final destination.]
