"This was the work of multiple people, including myself," Elidibus answers. "Though I led the effort." His idea, some of his work but there were others. Ones he doesn't mention. "And you're welcome. I'll be sure to pass on your appreciation to the others as well."

Following that there's a moment where he seems to consider Esteban's offer. A decision is made; largely consistent with encouragement to get out of the snow long enough to dry. Claims that one does 'not get sick easy' is not necessarily reassuring when it comes to overexuberant types.

"Then I will join you for a time." Friendship is... well, good luck with the reserved man. He seems calm, even if he hadn't for a second missed the mischievous look.

Moving on over into the games room, there are dispensers with hot chocolate, coffee and hot water. Cups, additives and tea are also present. There's probably been some inroads, but the area's also been maintained. One can count on Elidibus (or maybe even the unnamed others?) to have made sure of it.

Without much preamble, the man moves to fix a cup of tea. For certain reasons he's still a bit wary of coffee but that is a whole other story that will not be related.
