[The heater might be broken, but there's still the old-fashioned route]
[The meme has a fireplace in it. Nobody's used it in a while, mind you, but there's enough wood piled beside to get started, and it's no big trouble to get something lit.]
[So he sets to doing just that. It isn't much, but it'll do - for now.]
[Muttering under his breath all the way]
Someone ought to get that looked after. Can't have with things breakin' down like this.
[Sits himself down as close as he can possibly get without being directly in your way or catching himself on fire, looking up at you. He may still be a bit in your way though]
[Is that really all you're gonna wear in this temperature?]
You aren't cold? I've got some extra blankets if you want one!
[And he'll hold the edge of one of the blankets covering him out toward you. He has to at least offer, since you're sharing your fire]
[Shrugs, dropping the blanket back down. You still look like you must be in agonizing, frozen pain to him, but you guys up north are kind of weird. Did you know that? Maybe he should tell you, just in case]
Are all the people who live by you weird too?
[Wait, that's not how he meant to say it]
I mean, are you the only one who's really weird?
[... Close enough. At least the warmth from the fire is starting to heat him back up, this is nice, and you can have a smile for being so nice to share this]
[He doesn't really understand you either. Even if you live up there with all the snow he's sure it should be impossible for anyone's body to ever get used to this]
[He doesn't look like he believes you]
You get it pretty warm some of the year too, though... Anyway even if you're used to it it's still gotta be better when you're warm
[And now that you're by him he'll renew his efforts to share his warmth too, tossing one of the blankets straight at your head. You're probably just trying to pretend to be tough, you don't need to feel bad around him!]
[No point at all, he doesn't even understand what that look's supposed to mean. He'll just assume it's gratitude]
De nada~
[Even if it's not helping you much, he feels much better that he was able to return the favor. It's a little curious though]
You think it's just 'cause you live up there you don't think it's as cold as it really is? Do you think if I come visit up there more I could get used to it too?
[Not that he really wants to, but it'd be good to have less trouble in the cold]
[Nods along, that makes enough sense. Plus it means he doesn't need to go out of his way to try and be cold just to build up his tolerance, so he's happy]
[Sorry if you're trying to escape the awkward chatter then, but he's just gonna keep talking until he's got a reason to stop]
Ah, that's true! But you don't have a lot of beaches, do you? Or do you? But that wouldn't be fun, you wouldn't be able to use them for a lot of them time... But if you don't have beaches how do you spend the nice days?
[He's scooting himself a bit closer to the fire every minute or two. It's still too cold for him and it's not exactly a raging fire here. He may just be getting a little too close]

[Yeah, he's already abandoned his place in front of the heater to make his way over]
[Don't mind how ridiculous he looks bundled up like this when really it's not all that cold yet]
[And he's looking at you like you've literally just been brought down from heaven]
Mind if I take a seat?

Do as y'like.
[Feeds it another piece]
Heat goes out and folk start actin' like the sky's fallin'. Ridiculous.

[Spain gets another stare for that]
I don't follow. 'S cold where I am; just matter've bein' used to it.
[Settles down next to him, though, as the fire's going well enough - for the moment.]

But it ain't -
[Cold, he's going to say, but then - blanket to the head]
[Makes a startled noise, then gives up and wraps it around himself]
...Thanks.
[Gives him a 'This wasn't necessary' look, though he expects there's no point in arguing.]

[Pulls the blanket around himself a bit more. It's - awkward, talking to nations he barely knows.]
You'd probably like my place better in summer, anyhow.

Bein' out 'n about, that's what. Camping 'n sailing.
[Eyes Spain. He isn't sure whether to warn him away from the heat, or push him in.]
[... A warning might be more diplomatic.]
Wouldn't get too close if I was you.
Reply
[Except it's really not. And the corner of his blanket just caught on one of the flames]
[He'll just shove the blanket away and scoot himself back as the fire starts spreading across it]
[Shit, where do they keep the extinguishers?]
Reply
[Cursing all the way, until it's gone. Though the blanket is in sorry shape, mind you. Too bad for Spain.]
Fy faen - Did y'leave yer brain at home?
Reply
[But whoa, you're pretty cool...]
My brain's right where it should be, it was just an accident! Don't tell me you've never caught any of your blankets on fire!
[But he's staying safely back from it now, staring down at his massacred blanket like it was a beloved family pet]
