'As much as ever', is it? Elidibus does wonder if that's any more true than 'the bear trap injury is just fine, I don't feel any pain'. But mostly, the Emissary had a different impression of what a feral state during the full moon would be. Certainly not a grumpy as ever Lahabrea.
For now, Elidibus chooses to take the proffered cushions. The satchel is placed on a low table beside his chosen seating. This will all be dragged relatively close to the cage, though respect for the dragon's reach through those bars is given, for the time being. Out of the satchel comes two packets of cookies. Ginger snap of course; he's become quite interested in them.
"I brought these," the Emissary offers, as a subtle indication that he desires to approach and pass the packet through to Lahabrea. And, as he has noticed the chisel in hand and the project it's being used for- it being rather difficult to miss- he adds, "Am I to presume your full moon condition affords the clarity for such delicate craft with the dragon brimming so close to the surface?" Perfectly mild. Utterly dry. Yes, this is Elidibus and he is calling you on your lie, Lahabrea.
As for what Elidibus has been doing? "Patrols. A watch for those manipulated and those being kidnapped in the city by the Evergreen Circle." He doesn't have to pretend the fervent dedication to doing good deeds characteristics of Warriors of Light here so he doesn't. But the Ascian does explain further. By this time there's been enough time for Lahabrea to accept the packet or refuse it, so Elidibus is settled on his chosen cushion and one cookie into his own.
"My observations have been insightful, albeit more difficult than I'm accustomed." For one thing, people can easily see him and he can't use magic or natural ability to scry matters from afar. "Aside from that matter, I have been visiting the archives of the Coven and researching this world." Elidibus's mouth twitches in a sign of annoyance. "The approach of the full moon seems to have weakened my grasp on the magick of this world." Which was already comparatively non-existent. "There never seems to be enough aether. I will have to plan for this in the coming moon."
