For as wild as Vander looks right now- those fangs don't go unnoticed- Hythlodaeus is genuinely pleased to see the other man. He grins up at him, already quite merry himself, and takes a drink from his own glass before replying.

"Aye, that I did! I quite like it- where Highstorm is much more subdued, I feel the lively atmosphere here suits me better." He gestures to Vander then, and it's obvious where he's going with it.

"Ah, you're having the same issues as I am, I see." Though Vander seems to be having a worse time of it than Hythlodaeus, they're both still suffering from longer hair at least.
