I can survive well enough on my own
"Any time! And it's not like it was without ulterior motives." She grinned warmly. As much as her home was always open to the public, she'd needed the extra hands to assist in her chore. It was an added benefit that she got to see the friendly demigod again. Laughing lightly, Elizabeth rubbed her cold hands together. "That's a nice way of putting it." It wasn't quite so much of an 'insult' to the frigidly cold environment, not that she would've blamed him either way. She herself was only just starting to adjust to Halo's icy exterior.

Elizabeth smiled at Hadama's choice of drink, pouring some hot chocolate into a mug and sprinkling in some marshmallows before offering it to him. Also in a 'sweeter' mood, she took a mug and cookie for herself as she answered his question. "According to some older texts, bells have served as a means to keep away unkind spirits. The pleasant sound supposedly scares them out of the atmosphere, where they wait for opportunities to wreak havoc. I figured it couldn't hurt to try." She smiled, indicating to the box of bells that were strung together. "Sadly, I can't hang them on my own. So I really appreciate your coming." Taking a sip of her warm beverage, she looked at the living space and where the golden bells would hang best. Atop her bookshelves seemed a great place. Maybe over the windows and doorways? There were plenty of spots for them. They'd just have to decide where to begin.
