With the colder weather comes some discomfort. ... For myself, in particular. [a soft clearing of his throat.]

I am looking for some help in heating up a room-- heating a flat preferably, but even one room would be enough. A small device might not be enough for me, because... well. [for a few seconds, the video feed is on, showing a pale hand around something tube-shaped and covered in lustrous black scales, very long, the ends disappearing off-camera.

it's a snake tail. his tail, specifically.]

I am quite sensitive to the cold and will become sluggish, perhaps not as much as actual serpent-beasts, but still. I can't very well brumate until the weather warms up again, now can I?

I shall repay anyone who can help.

Well, that doesn't necessarily mean that you could consider me a friend, right?

[He's smiling but tentative. While he's surprised about the whole thing, he's latching onto the idea that Shalem likes him enough to consider friendship anyway. He wouldn't dare take it for granted.] I'm glad you do, though. You've been kind to me, too, Shalem. Even though I come from a place that's… a little strange.

[oh no, he's cute. like a little puppy needing constant reassurance and encouragement. shalem can't help but reach out to give him a few pats on the head.]

Where you come from is of no matter to me, only how you act.

You're a good person, why would I not want to claim you as a friend?

[Fingers on his hair. Zagreus would have ducked slightly under Shalem's touch were he sober, bashfully appreciating it. As tipsy as he is, he merely closes his eyes for a second, welcoming the touch. It's not so often that his head gets patted, anyway.

He sets down softly.] We'll see if you keep saying that once I drool all over your couch.
