Listen. He likes his coat. It's got enough pockets for everything he might want to shove into it and then some. Wearing it is practically a workout with how heavy it is. Pens, loose change, notebooks, interesting rocks, mysterious keys -- you know. Stuff that's important to have with you wherever you go.

He and his coat are situated on one of the couches. When he sees Armin coming he closes an open sketchbook and tucks it into one of the pockets.

"Armin! It's good to see you."

He means that. He's not had a lot of company for the past few months and it hasn't exactly been good for him. Being in actual close proximity to a dear friend is probably the best Hanukkah present he could have, never mind whatever else Armin is planning.
