[THIS TAKES LONGER THAN IT NEEDS TO BECAUSE MARTIN HAS TROUBLE READING MAPS but someone helped him turn the GPS one so the tablet basically tells him where to go and which door to knock at. which he is doing now.]
[ She is just waiting to pounce because she opens the door right away to usher him in! ]
Come in, it is too cold out there!
[ At least it's warm inside. For a stone house, it's surprisingly warm. All the cracks have been sealed up fairly well. It's sparsely decorated, and kind of small, but no smaller than the old Initiative apartments at least. ]
Hoouh–! [the shift from stinging cold to heat is a strong one, and all the little snowflakes on his eyebrows and bangs start to melt right away.] It really is...!
[arms outstretched, he looks down at himself, at his snow-covered pants and shoes.]
If I wasn't expecting you, I might have mistaken you for a snowmonster. Take off your wet stuff and I will get you a towel! Try not to melt everywhere!
[he strips off the scarf, mittens, and coat carefully, dangling them and watching them drip intermittently, and starts looking around for a place to set them.]
[he hesitates, wondering if he saw those at all beforehand. but what's that matter? just hang the stuff up, kiddo.
once his soaked coat and outerwear's left to make puddles by the door, he steps over the rest of the water to keep his socks mostly dry and stares around the room.]
This is a lot different from where Koltira and I are...
Uh, well. [he shifts in place, looking around, waiting for more directions on what to do from there on out besides talk. maybe talk is enough.] He's still building more in it. Carving. It's really nice...And I have my own room again, just like before, but it has a nicer window.
[it hits: where, not what.] I mean, it's kind of out of the way! But I don't know how far...

Oh, there are hooks right behind you, next to the door!

[ As if that explains anything to her, really. It doesn't, but it seems like the thing to say. ]
What's it like, where are you two staying? Besides out in the middle of nowhere that you don't have an address for!

Carving? Like, is he building you a cave, then?
[ Because that's a reasonable assumption. Except caves don't have windows... ]
