With the weather turning, I find myself at my limit. I am in need of shelter until the air is warmer. How do I go about finding some?

[Yeah, guess who never read the newbies guide. Leto, this is what you get for not bothering to read what you're given

[Ororo doesn't bother with writing - she turns the voice function on, and it's clear that she's concerned.]

There are several available apartments in the community housings, Leto. Would you like help in locating one?

[Written]

[skinnotmyown]

I was unaware. I would appreciate your help if you are willing to give it.

[Please Ororo! It's cold out here!]

[Voice]

[temperedtempest]

[It is indeed cold! Poor baby Leto, Ororo is already on her way out the door.]

Of course, you only needed to ask. Where might I find you?

[Written]

[skinnotmyown]

At present, I am in the bar. Good Spirits, I believe the name is? I will wait for you here.

[Voice/Action]

[temperedtempest]

[Ah, the bar. She should've guessed; presently all the men she knows here in Luceti gravitate towards the nearest stock of alcohol :|a]

All right. I will be there soon.

[It takes her about half an hour, though! When she does walk through Good Spirits' doors, she has a spare coat over one arm. She's sort of expecting him to be shirtless again.]

[Voice/Action]

[skinnotmyown]

[In his defense, he's only here because it's familiar and warm! He wasn't about to go sit in the clothing shop, geez, Ororo.

Shockingly, Leto is not, actually, shirtless, though the lightweight shirt he scrounged up probably isn't offering much protection, it's better than nothing. He stands up when he sees Ororo, smiling at her.]

I'm glad to see you.

[Action]

[temperedtempest]

[Smiling right back! Also tsk'ing at his light shirt, Leto that's not how you dress for the winter.]

I'm sorry I didn't come sooner. With all the snow falling, it must not have been easy for you, these last few weeks.

[Action]

[skinnotmyown]

[He doesn't knoooow. Well, he does. Intellectually. He's just stubborn about some of the most ridiculous things.]

It has been uncomfortable at times. Snow bothers me less than rain, I'm finding. I don't understand it, but I don't think I will question it at the moment. Thank you for your help; things will be better once I get out of the cold.

[It makes him so sleepyyy]

[Action]

[temperedtempest]

[Storm has chalked it up to male ego. She understands. Sort of.]

It can be just as wet as rain, but perhaps it's because they fall as snowflakes. [Smiling, because snow! Snow is the loveliest!]

[In any case, here, she'll hold out the coat she brought.]

I stopped by the clothing shop to get this for you. I know you don't like it, but you really must dress for the weather, Leto.

[Action]

[skinnotmyown]

It takes time for them to melt, thus providing me a short buffer before they become truly wet.

[He'll take it. He also takes the offered coat, shrugging it on without any particular complaint.]

Thank you. And thank you for thinking of it. I just.... [Goodness, for a second he actually looks like a teenager.] I would prefer a warmer climate. As you know, of course. Shall we find a place for me to stay?

[Action]

[temperedtempest]

[It's all right, Leto, Storm inspires that kind of reaction in most people.]

Yes, let's. Do you have a particular preference? Some of the apartments are closer to the plaza than the others. Others sit farther out and are quieter, I believe.

[Action]

[skinnotmyown]

Further is better. I am not exactly social.

[What a shock, right, Storm? Leto? Not exactly social? Tell us another one!]

But I am...fond of the beach. [It actually sounds like it hurts him to admit that.] Perhaps we should find something relatively close to the tunnel that leads to it? I'm sorry to say I don't know what is available and what isn't.

[Action]

[temperedtempest]

[Ororo will tease you gently:] The beach? Even with all that water?

I'm not certain about which of the community housings are closest to the tunnel, or what rooms are available... But I'm sure we can find out together. [And she'll have her journal open and handy for that! She has a map in there, courtesy of Nami, useful for figuring out where they can go.]

[Action] Thanks for not sending me my notifs, LJ!

[skinnotmyown]

Even with all that water. The sand is reassuring. [Leto smiles. He either doesn't mind the teasing or he welcomes it. Either way, he's not obviously bothered.]

I look forward to exploring the village with you. I always enjoy your company.

[Action] LJ needs to be dropkicked.

[temperedtempest]

[Ororo chuckles at that.]

That's flattering, I don't know that I can promise I'll live up to your expectations. [Smiling demurely.] But consider the sentiment returned.
