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.

[prozaic]

How pure of heart are you? Because that is the key, apparently.
Do not apologize, you've tried your best.

[constellational]

I honestly don't know how to answer that
I'm as flawed as they come, no doubt
Does the star... actually judge you?

[prozaic]

The sprites protecting it do. I haven't the faintest how, however, just that they won't let you come close if you have your personal struggles, and I have them aplenty.

[constellational]

Huh
Well, there's only one way to find out
I'll let you know how it goes, if I live to tell the tale
And I'll keep an eye out for anything that might help you

[prozaic]

You needn't bother with worrying, really. If my situation cannot be helped, then I will admit that I do have to move to a place with some fire.

[constellational]

If it helps, Serene is pretty nice
I don't mind asking around though
We're all we have around here
And teamwork goes a long way

[prozaic]

Of course, I understand that. However, I would like to consider all my options that let me stay here, especially when I already have some form of work in Stygia.
Unless Serene has more opportunities.

[constellational]

By "here", where do you mean, exactly?
I have to admit
I haven't yet explored as much as I'd like

[prozaic]

Fishing. I have competition at the docks, but it's better than nothing.

[constellational]

Competition... in what way?
You live in the Harbors?

[prozaic]

I believe there's some miscommunication here. I live in Stygia, the city, and often visit the docks. Can you tell me what you were assuming?

[constellational]

Ah, I think I know where this went wrong
The Harbors are in Stygia
so is Serene
I was wondering in which part of the city you were located

[prozaic]

Somewhere in between districts. Or perhaps just at the border of one, where people are less likely to gather.

[constellational]

Fair enough!
Can't say I blame you for seeking a minimum of tranquility
It's pretty busy around here

[prozaic]

[well, he's free to asusme that's the reason and shalem will let him continue to do so. better than being asked why.]

It's a city with people who still need to make a living. Of course it would be busy.
