[...25, holy shit, it's... Celsius. It's celsius.]

You're gonna die in August.

[skald]

So people have told me.

It can't REALLY be this hot all summer, right?

[feistytrader]

Hottest days are usually 35-38. That's without the humidity.

[skald]

I don't understand why ANYBODY lives here. Go north! Cool off, be free!

[feistytrader]

I don't know. The heat's pretty nice.

[...Is he high-]

The beach is really nice, too. There's nothing better than the ocean air on a nice summer day, especially when the sun's setting.

[skald]

Well first of all I can't even appreciate the ocean anymore because it's all grey (except when the sun's setting, that's fair) but!

You can have really pretty beaches and lakes and things without extremely high temperatures!

[feistytrader]

Hey, I'm curious.

What's the coldest temperature you've ever swam in?

[...This is not at all important, but inquiring minds want to know.]

[skald]

Haha, technically minus 10-15 I guess? Only for a minute or two after using a sauna. It's supposed to be good for you.

[feistytrader]

See? It balances out. Most people would think that's insane, and I would probably die in that water.

[skald]

Well you don't stay in for very long! Have you ever jumped in a pool after using a hot tub? It's like that, only natural.

[feistytrader]

I've never used a hot tub before. I'll try anything once, though. I'll give it a shot sometime.

[...A membership to the rec center might be a good investment if he's going to have Aoi around. They have a huge pool, don't they?]

[skald]

They're nice! But saunas are better, so you should try a sauna instead if you're going to do one or the other.
