Elizabeth's snout whipped around as she looked up at Zevran eagerly and held her arms up. "Rrraawh!"
Unlike her teammate, Tania huffed and grumbled under her breath a string of what was almost assuredly profanities as she pulled up the skin around her hips and dusted herself off. She firmly waved off the offer of help - she didn't need help, she could do everything just fine all by herself - and did her best to clamber back up onto the couch with some difficulty.

Zevran chuckled and tapped Elizabeth lightly on the nose as he straightened up again. "Ah come now, you can see just fine from where you are." He wasn't about to try to force help on Tania, that only made her more stubborn, and so Zevran moved closer to the window so that he could lean on the frame and look out at the tumbling snow. "And people just go on with their lives when the weather is like this?" he wondered aloud. "They must get through a lot of road grit in these parts." Like Ferelden, except Ferelden's weather was damp and foul when it wasn't freezing and snowy; he had only experienced the first having visited in the 'summer' but he knew that they did experience significant snowfall. "Maybe that is why they like their hounds so much," he mused aloud with a glance over to where his own was sleeping in the basket behind the chair.

The Charmeleon jerked her head back and blinked rapidly a few times, then whined a bit.
"A lot of people do, yeah." Abel padded back out to the living room, wrapped his arms around Zevran's shoulders and kissed the back of his head. "I dunno if they use grit or salt, but it may be a mixture of both, but who likes what hounds now?" Another kiss was pressed onto Zevran's fine blond hair. "Coffee's ready to go in the thermoses, all we need to do is get ready and head out. I was thinking the park would be a good place to go for a while. What d'you think?"

"Ahh, you are a most excellent man Abel," Zevran said with a grin as he turned his head and leant up to plant a kiss on Abel's jaw. "I like the idea of the park, yes, plenty of space and no traffic. As for the hounds, I was referring to Fereldans; they are quite mad for them and it being a terribly cold place I can see why... Well, that practicality and the fact that they are rather lovely. It is strange to think that a year ago I considered pokemon merely clever animals that could be trained to do useful tricks." He didn't mind being wrong about that, it had been an excellent discovery.

The taller blond grinned, the skin on his jaw tingling where Zevran kissed it. "I try," he said as one hand lifted to lightly trace a finger up his neck right up to his chin, and he ducked his head down to brush his lips against the other man's throat. "Fire-types are wonderful in the cold, so I can understand that. Growlithes are one of my favorites too, personally." Humm... While he'd never thought of pokemon as anything less than family, he was at least aware of some places that considered them nothing more than animals. "I'll bet it is; it's funny how things change, isn't it? But if that's what you grew up knowing, then..." Then why would he know any different? That sounded like the case for a lot of things...
"C'mon," he murmured as he pressed another soft kiss on Zevran's throat, "let's go change and head out, yeah?"

Mmmh, kisses, yes. Couldn't he just stay here, not go back to the warehouse? Everything here was warm, safe, and the company was very agreeable. Very agreeable indeed.
Ah well, you could not have everything in life.
"Si, we should," Zevran agreed and then stood up on tiptoes to kiss Abel's cheek. "As you probably guessed I saw few pokemon in Antiva," he continued as he headed into the bedroom. "We do not have artificial pokeballs - something about blasphemy - and apricorns grow only in Fereldan which is why they keep more than anyone else. Oh, besides the Orelsian's love of Galopa - Rapidash - of course. They do not use pokeballs however, which was to their disadvantage in the war the Fereldans fought for independence. There are many amusing historical videos of Chevaliers having their mounts captured right out from underneath them!" Zevran snickered as he swapped his sweatpants for a pair of leggings and added; "Knocked off their high horses, you could say."

Abel smiled at the kiss to his cheek before he turned and followed Zev into his bedroom, absently trying to figure out what clothes he should wear to stay warm enough out in the snow. In all likelihood he'd probably come back covered in snow and rather damp. "That all makes sense," the taller blond put in with a nod as he rummaged around in his dresser for warm clothing to wear, all the while sneaking glances at his friend.
His eyebrows rose however and he looked over at him without hesitation due to his surprise. "Are there really? Man, I don't know whether to think that's funny or feel bad for them." On one hand it was funny, but on the other hand, having your pokemon stolen like that... Or maybe it wasn't the same, if they only thought of them as animals to train -- to use just like any other tool?
He was more inclined to think it was funny.

"It's funny," Zevran confirmed with a smirk as he pulled on a pair of tan cargo pants, if he did get wet they would dry quite quickly. "And I never feel bad for a Chevalier, they are terrible people almost without exception; sons and daughters of wealthy families who were quite happy to grind Fereldans into the ground during their occupation. Oh, and their taste in clothes is simply ghastly." Zevran said this last as though it were the greater sin and then laughed.
Humm, now, what else? Tank top with a long sleeved top and then a sweater, leggings and trousers, warm socks....
"I think I am about ready, if I put on any more layers I shall start to waddle," Zevran decided aloud and turned to Abel with a grin. "You would not wish to be seen with a waddler, I am sure."

"Ah, good," he said with a chuckle as he pulled out a few articles of clothing and began to change. "They sound horrible anyway, so I won't bother feeling bad for them." No, it wasn't difficult at all not to feel bad for terrible people. "Their poor fashion sense sounds like their biggest offense from the way you tell it," he added with a wry chuckle.
Hum... Two pairs of thick socks, two pairs of jeans - one much more close fitting than the looser pair - and an almost identical arrangement of shirts to what Zevran wore, but in different colors.
"A waddler?" Abel echoed with raised eyebrows as he turned to smirk over at his friend. "I've never heard of a waddler before, but," he left his dresser and stepped over to his friend so he could wrap his arms around him and kiss his forehead, "I'd like to think you'd look like a penguin, and penguins are adorable. Just like you, so it fits. Also you'll probably want another pair of socks," he added before pressing another kiss to his forehead. It didn't matter how much he flirted or smirked or spoke suggestively, he was still adorable.

Zevran made a vague spluttering noise and hid his face in Abel's shoulder for a few moments. "I will get used to that one day," he mumbled; on day, perhaps, but not soon.
"Ah, but more socks, do you think so? I shall trust your expertise," Zevran continued quickly and as he spoke he moved to sit on the edge of Abel's bed and rummaged through his bag for a second pair. "I do not think that frozen toes would be any fun at all, though perhaps having you warm them up for me might be?" he said with a smirk as he pulled them on over the first pair.

A grin spread across his face as he chuckled and held him close for those few moments he wanted to hide. "I hope you don't, your reactions are pretty damn cute. Not as cute as your blush though," he added innocently.
Not so innocently he smirked as he went on, "I'll gladly warm you up any way you want me to. I'm pretty good at foot massages though, if I do say so myself."
There, though; he was dressed, Zevran had more socks on, which he would almost assuredly need while they were out... Abel hummed thoughtfully as he turned and headed for his closet where there hung various articles of clothing that shouldn't be folded up in dressers with some nicer, dressier pairs of shoes sitting beside a large black box not unlike Patty's. Also not unlike hers, this one also sported a hefty-looking padlock. Abel knew quite well that Zevran had his secrets still, and he knew that the opposite was also almost assuredly true, so he didn't mind rummaging through his closet with him right there. Plus he kind of needed stuff out of it. "Hey Sonia, wanna come play in the snow with us?" The blond called as he rummaged around on the shelf atop the closet where various things were shoved.
The Zoroark trotted into the room with her ears perked. "Zor," she replied rather eagerly, watching him for a moment before he pulled something black and misshapen down from the top of the closet. A quick shake to straighten it out revealed it to be a small black backpack; he passed it to her and she accepted it without question or complaint. Clearly there would be things to carry, and she had no qualms being the one to carry them.

They both had skeletons in the closet as it were so it was hardly a surprise that Abel had a locked box in his too; Zevran noted it but then ignored it, Abel would mention it if he cared to but if not there was no need to say anything on the subject.
"You take far too much pleasure in watching me squirm," he huffed as he got to his feet and stretched. "Really I should punish you for it, and perhaps I will- later." Now smirking again Zevran moved to stand behind Abel and swatted his arse. "Or maybe now, now is good too!"

Had he put away his thick winter hat and gloves after his trip, or were they still packed in his bag...? Truth be told he hadn't finished unpacking everything, he'd been a little distracted ever since he got back. "I absolutely do," he replied shamelessly to said distraction, a smirk crossing his face as he came to the conclusion that the things he was looking for were still tucked away in his bag somewhere, so he shut the closet door.
The swat startled him just a tad, but he quickly turned and wrapped his arms around his friend with a smirk. "Hey! I'll get you for that -- later." But when later? Zevran no doubt would think later that evening. Too bad that would be an incorrect assumption, but he'd find that out soon enough.

"Ooooh," Zevran purred and smirked up at Abel, "I look forward to it!" Oh yes, he most certainly did! "For now though you remind me, hat and gloves." Zevran extracted himself from Abel's arms and returned to his bag to fetch them out. "Do you think we will need anything else?" he asked as he pulled the warm woollen hat down over his ears, the gloves he would just keep hold of until they were out of the apartment and he had his coat on and fastened up.

Abel simply smirked and chuckled in response. Oh yes, he could look forward to it all he liked; it absolutely wouldn't be even remotely what he expected it would be.
When Zev moved to fetch his, the taller blond moved to the bag he'd dumped in the corner of his room and rummaged around in it for a few moments before pulling out his own pair and the hat that went along with it. "Besides our coats and our pokemon? And our coffee," he added, lest he forget that crucial piece, "I don't think so? Nope, I think that's all we need."
With that thought in mind, he turned and opened one of the smaller drawers in his dresser and fetched out a few of his pokeballs. "D'you wanna walk to the park or ride?"
