elias walks through the town square, butterscotch eyes sliding from person to person -- store to store. a hand slides through his curls, looking up towards the sky as the rain falls. “it’s just beautiful here, don’t you think?” he asks the person closes to him -- it doesn’t matter if he knows them or not. it’s always been in his nature to talk to whoever is around, especially since he joined the denali coven and finally found a family. he’s happier now, at ease in a different way. not to mention his age gives him a certain confidence in the way that he doesn’t expect people to reject him -- it doesn’t happen very often. “my home is a bit colder than here, it’s nice to be somewhere warmer.” he doesn’t actually notice the temperature, but it seems like something most people react well too.
