[surely this is an excellent night to be out.

... or to be slowly making his way from the studio to the inn at god knows what hour, sticking close to buildings when he can, drawing his coat closer around himself.]

... I hate January.

[walking up next to you, in a completely sweet and normal manner!]

God, it's just horrible, isn't it? I saw you from a distance and kinda hoped you might have an umbrella . . . guess not.

[glances over at her, raising an eyebrow for a moment before shaking his head.]

- I didn't bring one. I figured it was January - it'd snow if it did anything, because that's how it usually works. I failed to remember, however, that January tends to be as unpredictable as anything here.

I think this place is just cruel. When it rains on snow, it'll just freeze over, so we can all fall on our asses tomorrow.

[boldstarring]

That tends to be its M.O. It's not surprising when you think about it, really.

[impiersonate]

I guess I'm a little new to be completely jaded about it. I just got my bearings, and then the snow came down and everything looked different again. It's such a pain.

[boldstarring]

Brand new, huh? Well, it happens here. You'll find that the only consistency around here is that there is no consistency. Where are you heading off to? I'd be happy to escort you.

[impiersonate]

The hotel. I've been camping out on the floor over there. Finding accomodation here is really difficult.

[boldstarring]

You didn't have anyone here that you knew who could put you up? That's always difficult. In any case, that's not too far from here.

[turns, squinting off into the storm as he attempts to get his bearings.]

[impiersonate]

Well, there's these two guys, but staying with them the whole time would be a touch on the awkward side.

[boldstarring]

That sort of situation, is it?

[impiersonate]

You know how it is. One's my boyfriend, one would like to be my boyfriend, they're brothers. It would make the sleeping arrangements kinda tricky.

[boldstarring]

Oh, definitely. You should have your boyfriend do some more asking around for you - I can't imagine the hotel floor is very comfortable on the cold nights.

[impiersonate]

We're working on it. I'm sure we'll have found somewhere by the end of winter. For now, I'm content with what I can get.

[boldstarring]

That's a good attitude to have. It'll work out somehow. Granted, it may take a lot of time and effort, but it'll be fine.

I'm Jesse, by the way.

[impiersonate]

I'm Elena. Elena Gilbert.
