Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eliathanus was, surprisingly, outside in the snow covered remains of the garden, bundled up with so many coats, scarves, gloves, hats, and what not that he looked more like a giant puffy marshmallow monster than a cat. If that wasn't ridiculous enough, the giant puffy marshmallow monster was also awkwardly holding a pencil and sketch pad, without much success at actually drawing anything. There appeared to also be quite a few muffled curses coming from what might be considered the head area of previously mentioned marshmallow monster mass.

Eliathanus looks up at the sound of someone else outside behind him and in an effort to turn quickly to see who it was, since all the layers he wore prevented him from just being able to turn his head, slips and drops to the snow on his rump. Letting out a few other colorful words and phrases, he very slowly manages to get himself back up on his feet and facing the proper direction, his eyes being the only thing being able to be made out amongst everything blinking in surprise at seeing the other. "'Course I'm cold. Why do you think I'm wearing so much..."

Eliathanus watches the other approaching, really wishing he'd been able to wear even more layers as his tumble in the snow had made his a** really cold. With a small nod, which could barely be noticed due to his clothes, he awkwardly starts shuffling back towards the door, waiting for the other once he got inside.

((Sorry for taking so long. RL stress has been killing my muse to rp just about everyone badly this year.))

Eliathanus waits until Dart is back inside and the door is closed before he starts fighting with getting the many layers of clothes off. Struggling and letting loose a few other curses, he finally manages to get free and get everything shoved into a hamper for washing later. Glancing at Dart, he gives a slight shrug. "Soup and tea sound okay." At the other question, he shrugs again, tail twitching slightly. "Okay, I guess. You...?"

((Lol Dart is learning. XD He must be a bit surprised that Eliathanus even asked how he was, considering Eli's usual attitude.))

Eliathanus gives the slightest shake of his head before realizing that Dart had his back to him and wouldn't be able to see the motion. "Mint is fine." He raises an eyebrow slightly at the others reply, expecting the usual burst of talking. "....Oh? What happened?"

((D'aw <3 That's sweet of him.))

Eliathanus gives a small frown at that, but decides to let Dart say more on his own if he wishes to. "How long are you back for then...?" He asks, pretending to not be as interested in the answer as he really was and failing horribly at it.

Eliathanus tilts his head a bit again, blowing on the tea he was served to cool it down enough to take a sip without burning himself. He listens to Dart, then thinks for a moment when the other asked him about himself. "No, nothing new here. It's been.... Quiet, lately. Very quiet. The shop almost seems like a ghost town, really." He didn't want to admit it, but he'd been a bit lonely lately.
