She reflects his chuckle with a set of nervous laughter of her own. "Ha-ha! Likewise. I didn't see you, either."

A gust of wind sweeps through, pushing her hood down to her shoulders and knocking a grunt out of her. She's a breton, and her face bears a lot of asymmetry, mainly in the form of scars but also with her eyes which seem mismatched in color.

"Brr! Let's head inside before it starts snowing!"
Janet
He nods, opening the door for the breton, "After you." He says, bowing his head, he seems very subservient, which is odd for someone as burly as him. He doesn't try to make small talk, he seems simple, and a man of few words, though perhaps it may be possible to weasle more out of him
Daniel
"Why, thank you." She accepts his invitation and steps into the inn ahead of him. 

It does not cross her mind that he's not saying enough, as there's not much else to say. She is relieved that he's a gentle giant, for sure, though. After all, she could've bumped into someone much less forgiving.

Once she's inside, she breathes out a sigh as the warmth washes over her. She removes her overcoat and reaches up to hang it on the nearest stand.
Janet
And then she smells it, the blood of a lycan, she was too focused to notice it when she was apologizing, but now she knows it's there for sure. The argonian she just bumped into has Hircine's gift, though it doesn't seem that *He* Noticed anything, and the smell isn't reminiscient of a dog, so he's not a werewolf.

The Argonian takes a seat by the fire, removing his hide gloves and warming his hands, "Sometimes I forget I'm cold blooded." He says to himself with a laugh, "I'm usually too caught up in moving crates and doing other dock work that by the time I realize I'm too cold I've already gotten sluggish."
Daniel
As she is hanging her coat on the rack, the scent greets her nose and makes her freeze momentarily. She shakes her head, not believing her own senses at first. When the scent doesn't go away, her eyelids flutter in disbelief. She thinks to herself, *Father? Where?!*

The sound of Xal-Ei's voice snaps her out of her pause. She lets her arms fall down to her sides and she spins around to face the fire. Silently, she realizes that the scent is coming from him. *It's not akin to a wolf, but I can still feel a connection. Surely I'm not mistaken. Another child of Hircine! Sibling!* She knows better than to blurt out and ask him about it, but she wants to so badly.

She walks over to join him in sitting in front of the fire, replying, "Yeah, that is something to keep track of. I can't relate to having cold blood, but I definitely do the same type of thing a lot. With sleeping, sometimes I don't realize I'm exhausted until I'm even more exhausted."
Janet
He chuckles, "I've passed out because of the cold before, that's always fun. Waking up in the swamp half submerged in the murk." He says, "I'm usually at Morthal, the swamps are much more familiar to me. Though I sometimes take a ride on a trade ship to help unload here."
Daniel
"Oh, how nice. These are such beautiful cities. Silver lining of the storm is that I get to pay a visit here. I don't get enough opportunities to.

"My name's Celena, I'm a student of the College of Winterhold."
Janet
"And I'm Xal-Ei, don't have any fancy titles." He says, "Never been big into magic myself," He says taking a sip from his gourd, "Of course I never got the chance to learn it."
Daniel
"Aw, I didn't add that to come off as fancy.

"And hey, it's never too late to try and start," She welcomes with a smile.
Janet
He laughs, "I can't even read," He says, "Learning magic will be a long way away." He says, "I prefer being more physical when it comes to combat"
Daniel
"If you say so," She replies with a disappointed sigh. "I mean, I wouldn't mind doing the reading for you. And there are plenty of applications for magic outside of combat."
Janet
"I prefer to be more hands on." He says, "As nice as the offer is."
Daniel
A quiet nod is her response. "Makes sense."

After an awkward moment of silence, she thinks of something else to say: "Want a drink on me?"
