Evie
When hope and peace begin to fray
His exclamation sounds so much like the one she'd uttered upon first laying eyes on him that it's hard not to laugh, but Evie can only imagine how oppressive the cold must feel when utterly naked so her sympathy wins out by a thread. Though she does allow herself an understanding but amused grin at the baleful look he shoots the door once she's whisked him inside.
"It's not as horrible with proper clothing, but it's also the coldest season right now." It might be hard to sell a plant-man on the idea of staying and living in a tundra, but Evie has helped flora flourish in worse conditions right? She just has to do some heavy lifting and creative management, like she has to in the here and now with wrangling a man a foot taller than her into clothes.
It's a task she tackles with optimistic determination, waving his gratitude away with a warm smile. "Normally people bathe before dressing if they're covered in soil, but if you're anything like me it's a lost cause. Though I'm sure it feels like being watered, only with water as warm as the greenhouse felt." Hopefully an appealing sentiment after the unfortunate snap of ice he'd been subjected to. Boxers are an easier article to wrangle his legs into, but she isn't willing to risk the thermal legging underlayer that comes next. "Hold onto the bedframe so you don't fall," she advises while pointing to the item in question to aid the correlation. There's something sweet about this moment, and she's happy to take her time ensuring he's comfortable before his first day of overwhelmingly endless things to learn truly starts.
