Declan's smirk grew as she pointed out that the magic would not help. Of course, he had known that all along. It seemed, as far as he could tell, that there was no getting rid of the snow. At least, not for the time being. He could only hope that someone was smart enough to be looking into it. As a man who probably could find his way into understanding anything he wanted to, given the time, Declan supposed that he could very well be the one to sort it out if he wanted to. But then, he didn't truly care to do so. He had too much to worry about within the confines of his own building.
"I suppose the only good thing is that is seems to stop after a time. It probably won't fill the entirety of our buildings, if we're lucky," he pointed out, trying to keep a light tone given the circumstances.
Declan frowned at her request, but nodded. "I've got some stored in the back, knowing that folks might come in. I'll get it in a second," he promised, turning to the next person who walked in, asking after a drink.
Declan wasn't sure he recognized her, though that was hardly surprising given the number of people who came through his pub. The only ones he truly knew were those that stayed now and again or visited almost daily. "I can do a hot chocolate or a hot coffee if you prefer that," he offered.
He sighed at her comment, agreeing by way of a nod of his head. "Yeah, that's what we were just talking about," Declan explained. "Seems like people have been trying to get at it with magic, but it's not been helping. Have you tried that?"
Once she told his what it was that she wanted to drink and replied to his question, he informed the girls that he would be back in a moment with their requests. Upon making his way behind the bar once more, he frowned down at the piles of snow in his way, kicking the stuff about as he went. Their individual drinks were set before them and he glanced around the pub again.
"It'a wonder that I can do any business at all, what with the roads being blocked and the whole place being near full up with snow. Even the rooms are all chilled up. I've found you can use warming charms on a few things - yourself, your food, things like that - but it won't get rid of the snow and won't fully cover up the chill that the snow seeps into your clothes, you know? It's frustrating. There's got to be a way to get rid of it."
