The winter was well on its way and snow flurries had already began to fall sporadically throughout the week. Elijah was always much more cheerful in the winter, as everything looked peaceful and clean with a coat of freshly fallen, white snow. And today was graced with the little puff balls of white, falling and blocking out the colors of the town. It was days like these that Elijah spent at the cafe. He didn't live very far, his families homestead looming on the hill overlooking the little town. So there he sat, outside on the little patio, with a hot mug of cider under the tables umbrella, magicking the doors to the cafe open for any who were coming or going out of politeness. Though his acts of kindness often went unthanked, or even unnoticed as the patrons came and left. Once in great while, he would manage to get a nod if nothing else, yet he still continued to do it. He had resigned to sipping his cider as the flow of people lessened, reading through the paper at what the Ministry had decided to weave about him this week. He flicked his hand to open the door as he saw another figure moving toward it, and only when he heard a quiet thank you did he look up, briefly surprised. "You're quite welcome." He smiled softly. |

Saying that it was chilly was an understatement as his breath lingered in the air before him. Before he made his way to get some of his ingredients for a new potion he was creating he thought that cider would be much appreciated. As the door opens before him he glances over to Elijah, not knowing who he is in the slightest and offers him the quiet thank you and returning the smile as he pulls the hood of his cloak down around his shoulders.
It wasn't lone before he was exiting the small cafe that he made a break for the door pushing it open before the longer haired blonde had the chance to open for him, setting the drink down on a table to adjust his hood and go on his way.

That alone had brightened his day up a little and he went back to reading the paper with a quiet smile on his face. It wasn't long before he caught sight of the boy again, but just a moment too late as he had gotten the door open before he could and he smirks.
"Well played. I suppose I'll have to pay a bit more attention next time to beat you to it."

A very quiet chuckle escaped his lips as he looked over to Elijah with a grin. "It was one of my better attempts." The cider was warm in his hands now, grateful for it as the snow started to come down a little harder. "How many thank you's have you even gotten? It seems that people these days are quite... selfish and ungrateful. Absorbed in their own minds and walking toward the end on a path preset for them, rather than choosing."

"A successful attempt as well." He laughs and sets the paper aside because he wasn't about to be rude and keep reading in the middle of a conversation. "You're the first actually. I've gotten a few nods here and there, but as far as a verbal acknowledgement, you are the first." He nods softly in agreement, as people lately seemed to ignore what was going on right under their noses."Complacency has become the new human disease, unfortunately."

That caught Rabastan's attention instantly. Agreement that the world was beginning to suffer as there was a lack of regard for those in front of them. "Unfortunate indeed." He chuckles softly and holds out his free hand. "Rabastan Lestrange."

He smiled back with a gentle bow of his head, taking his hand after a moment of hesitation, but wearing gloves certainly helped his...issues. "Elijah Whitlock. It's a pleasure to meet you Rabastan. Would you care to sit? I'm not against company."

The handshake was welcomed even more so after he noticed the leather gloves, but that didn't matter to him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Elijah." As he took a seat next to the man he felt oddly comfortable with, Rabastan pulled out a small bottle of hand sanitizer and shakes his hands. Rubbing them together quickly as the alcohol quickly dissipated he smiled. "Thank you. It's not everyday you find someone like minded."

Elijah just smiled softly as he saw and smelled the hand sanitizer, feeling oddly much more at ease as he would have been doing the same exact thing had he not worn his gloves today, and he waited politely, his look the furthest thing from judgmental as he sees a common bond. "Indeed. Nor someone who shares certain habits, either." He smiles, holding up his gloved hands. "Are you a student in the Academy? I only ask because of the House Crest." he gestures to his cloak.

In a very light motion he looked over as Elijah rose his hand he then he looked to his own, smiling. "No, it's not everyday is it?" Rabastan laughed very quietly and looked to his cloak with a nod. "I am, Equuleus, not the most sought after house, but it's perfect for me." Wasn't that the truth. Rab grinned as he took a sip from his piping hot drink. "I was on my way to the Apothecary if you wanted company. You don't have to come though if you're busy."

"There is no shame to be had for being in Eqquleus. It's an honorable house. And a honest one." He smiled and finished off his cider before looking back up to him. "If you don't mind the company, then I don't mind joining you. I've nothing much to do here, really. Aside from hold open doors." He chuckled as he stood.

"I'm hardly ashamed of my house." Rabastan admitted, really he wasn't he had Chance, and it was a really good atmosphere to grow herbs. Warmer than some of the other houses he had been in, nearly like a green house but not as open. Light was a little more difficult to come by when you're located near the bottom of the castle, but he made do with plant lights. Well one light, for his one plant that he had by his bed. "I don't mind being among like minded company. It's nice. And opening the door for ungrateful people seems terribly depressing. C'mon then. I've got a rather large list." Rabastan chuckled softly as he held out a rolled sheet of paper.

Elijah was happy to hear that, as far too many people fell victim to thinking they were not as good, brave, smart, or cunning as the Houses they were not sorted into. While he didn't particularly care for the hierarchy that was Houses, as Rabastan put it, it was good to be among like minded people. He imagined it was easier to first make connections with people close and work outward. Not that Elijah had much experience in that respect but he understood the reasoning.
He laughed at his comment and nodded. "Well, it's certainly been the highlight of my day/" he nodded and stood, folding up the paper and leaving it for the next person to sit there.

There was no doubt that an actual honest smile had met with Rabastan's lips. It was hard for the young boy to smile as of late. That was unless he was with Chance or on his own, but with Elijah there was no doubting that subtle strike of ease. The blonde gentleman before him definitely had a way about words, but words could be empty. What really spoke to Rab were the actions. For some odd reason there was a high level of respect for the man he had only just met and he could not explain it. "I am glad. Especially since it can get rather stark out here during the winter months."
Rab nodded his head and began to move toward the apothecary. It was warm and he was greeted in a very happy manner as he had frequented this shop since he found out that it existed. Naturally he responded in happy tones, patience and understanding. He also managed to get permission from the Headmaster in order to purchase some more exotic materials. Kasch usually needed to be with him to purchase some more harsh ingredients, but today he was hoping that was not the case. Rabastan pulled down a few jars and set them on the counter as he went through his list, most common and alphabetical at the top. Slipping past Elijah, he managed to go into the more dangerous and restricted section grabbing a couple jars and setting them on the counter as well. Some of the ingredients he needed were actually behind the counter and he would rattle them off once he managed to get these. There was an order that needed to be followed and he was thankful the owners of this shop understood that. Pulling his bag forward he pulled out empty jars with fine labels and artwork on them. If someone knew what the ingredient looked like but not they name it was easy to compare with his small canisters, placing them next to the bulk jars. He breathed out and moved to the counter looking over the the glass vials, leaning to see a little better. "Doxie blood should be before Vampire Blood...." He mutters softly and flips open his list and sets the jars down for the man to go about retrieving the items in proper quantity. "Can you fix it before you start, please, or I may end up behind the counter."
