log; and then ferim was a moron

[nonidentity]

[It'd be a nice day today, if it weren't for the heat. Still, it's bearable, if you have common sense. Stay hydrated, don't wear heavy clothing, etc.

Ferim doesn't have common sense.

And the thing is—well, his outfit? It made him to carry him through the Ice Ages. At that time, he'd learned the valuable lesson of "human bodies don't react well when exposed to freezing temperatures". On the other hand, he has little experience with warm days, and so, at first, he's confused. Why is his body so sluggish????

Then, it occurs to him that oh. He's overheating.

AND THEN HE COLLAPSES ONTO THE GROUND.]

[Minamoto cheerfully chatters on.]

In a sense, yes. Though I doubt that you've heard of us. We're a small group, after all. Are you a mage?

[nonidentity]

Someone who uses magic—no, perhaps not.

[He wouldn't classify what he does within the realm of "magic", at least.]

[gozen]

You dress quite oddly, which is why I'm asking.

[only mages dress so dramatically, ok]

[nonidentity]

[Um????

He tilts his head.]

Oddly? I found this attire suitable for withstanding the extreme temperature of the Ice Age.

[gozen]

[.................................. oh dear.]

My, you've had quite a heatstroke.

[nonidentity]

[WOW

... except Ferim doesn't register any implication, so.]

Is that typically what happens to humans when exposed to high temperatures...?

[gozen]

[The admission that he isn't human doesn't seem to faze Minamoto. She gently sets him down by a pond.]

I see. Is this body new to you, stranger?
