Noctis arrived about ten minutes after he told Ash he was leaving, shaking his coat off just outside the door before slipping inside with Ana the Weavile in tow. She was wearing a plush scarf to help protect from the cold--though honestly she was a pretty big fan of it--and seemed content to keep it on as she let out a greeting cry and made her way towards Ash and An Tintreach.

"Hey guys!" Noctis said with a slight wave as he headed over, grinning at the sight of the Pikachu's cream mustache and muffling a laugh. "Enjoying the hot chocolate?"

Ana hauled herself up onto a chair and clicked her claws on the table, looking at Noctis rather expectantly.

She was promised a warm drink!

"I know, I know! I promised." The prince shook his head with a grin, shucking his coat off and hanging it on the back of another chair. "What's all that?" he asked, motioning with a nod to the notebook.
