Lily carefully cuddled the man close, then looked around the room for a blanket. On spying one on the back of a nearby couch, she beckoned it with her magic, catching it when it floated over. Then she wrapped it around the two of them, hands rubbing over Arlen's back and arms, trying to warm him as much as possible.

Arlen's limbs started to lose the icy coldness they had picked up outside. "Garret," he said softly in his sleep, his face showing an apologetic mixture of pain and grief.

"It's okay..." Lily whispered, kissing his forehead, heart breaking for him. "It's okay Arlen..." she rested her head on his, chewing her lower lip; at least she could feel him start to warm a little.

"I'm sorry," he whispers, a tear leaking out of his eye. "I'm so sorry."

Silently, Lily carefully brushed the tear away, her smile pained as she watched him. She gave a soft sigh, then leaned in and kissed him gently before going back to her cuddling, puzzling over why he was sorry.

Arlen fell silently as his body went from cool to lukewarm, and then soon back to it's normal temperature. "Lily?" he asked groggily, barely awake, but he could smell her next to him.

"That'd be me." she answered softly, stroking his brow. "You were so cold... I was worried. Go back to sleep, love."

"Alright," Arlen murmurs, obediently falling asleep again.

Lily smiled and shook her head, then kissed his temple before giving a light yawn. Rather sleepy herself, her eyes began to slip closed, though she didn't fall asleep right away.

A man, dressed simply but warmly in a simple gray gray cloak and hood with a robe the same shade underneath. Both garments just short enough so that his simple sandals could be seen as he walked up the path that lead to the Muffin. Looking up at the The building was certainly brimmin with unique people, but wether or not he would find what he was looking for was another matter. Walking up to the door, he tried the handle and finding it unlocked, he let himself in.

Lily's head snapped up; she'd dozed off. On seeing the man, she blinked sleepily, trying to process the image, then smiled and carefully pulled herself away from Arlen, leaving the blanket wrapped around him. "Hello and welcome." she greeted softly. "Can I get you anything?"

The man looked over at the girl and pulled back his hood, revealing a complete lack of hair and a face that appeared to belong to a man in his forties, and yet was seemingly untouched by time for twenty of those years. "I'm a bit surprised to see somebody up this late," he said chuckling a bit. "But then again I shouldn't think I'm the only one who would be up. Do you have some tea perhaps?"

"I'm surprised to be up this late." Lily admitted with a smile as she headed behind the bar, starting his tea. "I wasn't expecting to be, but... here I am. Your tea will be ready momentarily, sir." she added, nodding her head.

The man smiled and took a seat at the bar. "Thank you, Miss...? "

"Oh! I forgot. My name's Lily." she answered with a sheepish smile. "It's nice to meet you sir." The teen added, expression becoming a bit warmer. Humming, she poured his tea, then placed the cup on the bar before him. "And there you are!"
