"No kidding," he says in a huff, not annoyed at Levi but yeah, it's fucking cold. He's fucking cold. He'd love to just go to the hall and get warm, especially if Arthur might be there. The idea of waiting even one moment more than he needs to to get back to Arthur makes something in his chest hurt.

"But I can last a few minutes out here. If you go in, find Arthur, bring him here- hopefully he can explain and I can go inside to the fire then."

Two people to vouch for him is better than one.

"You know, since... 'intimidating'."

Nah, he's not insulted. But he can admit that, if only given the height difference between them.
