[8 ℃ is close enough for him. That's 46 ℉ which is only 14 ℉ away from being 32 ℉ or only 8 ℃ away from being 0 ℃. The colder the better to be honest because even a few degrees lesser in the air there is the potential for it to happen--and if the conditions where right it could happen that very day. While Denmark was not savvy in the environmental

because he's going to meet the entire Hetalia cast whether he wants to or not

[the_daybreak]

[It's cold.

He's not sick, he's just cold. A kid who grows up on an island does not usually see temperatures of 8 ℃. So this is... difficult.

A little grumble escapes his throat. He's forgotten his shirt, it seems; or rather, he simply slept (or rather, laid in bed for hours) without it. To combat this, he's simply wrapped himself up in the blanket from his bed, using it as a sort of cloak. Honestly, he's been wandering the halls for hours, too.

So it's not surprising he stumbles upon Denmark, stepping up beside him to peer out of the window.] What are you looking at...?

well he's in luck because Denmark well treat 'im right!

[dannebrog]

[Leaning further against the window seal, Denmark took in a breath as he looked down towards his device then back out at the clouds that seemed perpetual in the sky. It was if he willed it, as if he was having a staring contest with the sky but a voice brought a losing game.

He looked Scandinavian enough, with his paler features and that hair, almost like Iceland--well, almost. So with a pause he inspected the nearby figure, primarily noting his improve-cloak, the idea of it bringing a small smile to his lips which soon blossomed into something of a full grin. He was pleased to see people he had never met before, pleased for the company even at the earlier hour.

Turning, he regarded the unfamiliar face then looked back out the window, humming quietly before replying in good humor amongst the congestion of his sinuses.]

They sky! It's kinda hidden, yah see? But maybe since the weather's droppin' and the clouds are buildin' there might be a chance for some colder weather.

8D!!

[the_daybreak]

[A little sigh; he tugs the blanket a little tighter around his shoulders, watching as his companion looked him over. It was weird to be scrutinized -- though he was sort of used to it. Evil villains liked doing it, it seemed. As far as he knew, though, this one wasn't some villain. At least, he couldn't make that judgment yet.

He settled against the window, shivering as the glass cooled his back through the blanket.] What are you hoping to see? It's so cold...

[dannebrog]

[His eyes scanning the skyline of the broken down cityscape, Denmark paused and took in a small breath, drumming his fingers on the window pane which he reached up to before shifting at the sound of the voice once more. Returning his attention he smiled softly, his voice light.]

Snow, of course! Even in a place like this, it should be possible-- weather is natural, no matter the surroundings.

[Granted, the pale-haired figure didn't look like one to appreciate the cold weather the way he was wrapped up. It was alright though, not everyone came from colder climates and well--Denmark was not too fond of extreme heat, so he understood the reverse effect.]

[the_daybreak]

Snow... so it snows in that sort of conditions...? [DERPDERP because while he's seen snow, he saw it while it was already on the ground. It doesn't really count.]

Natural, you say...? Not necessarily. As humans building houses, we can decide the climate ourselves. But you're right in that outside it's... usually untamed, no matter what.

[No, he came from a rather warm climate -- and it shows, because he's shivering, even snuggled up in this blanket. Even if he hadn't come from a warm climate, who wanders around in the cold with no shirt on?]

[dannebrog]

[It's okay! He'll try his best to inform you of what he can, but well, this certainly is not home. So, he offers a laugh and leans back a little more against the wall near by.]

Well--it needs t' get a bit colder if you ask me, but it's got a lot t' do with with dew point and of course what you've said but still--weather occurs and if the temperature is low enough and the conditions perfect hopefully we'll see some snow!

[He seems enthusiastic and while the pale haired figure was correct in what he was saying, sometimes weather could not be detoured when it came to the natural process. So, a smile continues to cross his face as he murmurs, noting how the stranger clung to the blanket.]

You need a jacket? 'M not cold if yah want mine.

[the_daybreak]

I've never seen snow fall. [It's an offhanded comment, Riku glancing back out the window to see if what his companion said was true. It might be interesting to see real snow -- he'd have to go get Sora and Roxas, if that happened. Snowfall. Both he and Sora had been to the Land of Dragons, but truly seeing it was different than walking on it.]

Huh? No, uh... I'll be all right. [He's not used to strangers offering him anything but hell, to be honest. So his pride answers for him, though his fingers curl a little tighter around the edges of the light blanket.]

[dannebrog]

Never seen snow fall have yah? Wow! Then I really hope yah get to see 't, even in such a surrounding there is somethin' peaceful about it.

[And offhanded comment that Denmark will cling to because if you think that he is going to let you hide if it actually starts snowing now, you are sadly mistaken. He'll find yah, just you wait. Snow made him think of home, particularly just the essence of the north, the chill in the air, everything like that calmed him.]

I hope you get t' see it, but you certainly will need a jacket.

[He replied with a small laugh, though he was certain that they other would need a coat if the chill got worse--something he was predicting, something he was counting on.]

[the_daybreak]

No, never. I've seen snow, walked in it, like, but this is... different, I'm assuming? It's got a different quality.

[He tilts his head at the other, giving a sheepish smile as he shifts the blanket on his shoulders.] I have one. I just -- it's not something I'm inclined to... even use unless there are dire circumstances. It's made for protection from... outside forces. Not for cold weather.

Sorry, I just realized I hadn't introduced myself.

[dannebrog]

Completely different! You gotta see it fall to truly have the perfect experience--but ah, I've found it's never so bad when it snows, it seems to keep the heat in.

Curiously, not as cold as it should feel on snow days. Yet, the day before it snows! Yikes.

[There! A smile. He is content, and in turn smiles back more than just sheepish but a full grin and a raise of his hand, then extending it outward for introductions.]

Ah--nor have I! Apologizes, I'm Denmark.

[the_daybreak]

Keeps the heat in? But it's cold, right?

Mm. [Riku blinks -- Denmark is the only person who's tried to shake hands with him here. If he's shaking hands with someone, usually it'll be him who offers. But he reaches over, arm broken into goosebumps, to shake Denmark's hand.]

Riku. ... You wouldn't happen to be a country, would you?

[dannebrog]

It's a strange phenomena! But you'll see if it starts snowin', it does not seem as cold as it should.

[Denmark might be laid back, but he never forgets manners and a handshake is a handshake, the first step in an introduction which he never forgets. So taking the others hand in his, he gives it a firm squeeze, not noticing the hesitation or the goosebumps rising to the others skin hidden beneath the blanket.]

Riku though? Riku, that's an interesting name! I like it--

[He pauses at the question though and smiles brightly. Wow, you're fast and the first one to notice--so he's not going to try to cover it up, there really is no sense in doing so.]

And that I am! A nation, the Kingdom of Denmark, to be precise.

[the_daybreak]

I hope so. But it'll still be colder than this, right?

[He can't help it, really -- he's cold. And the hand disappears behind the blanket again, tugging it tighter around himself.]

You like it? [A little snort.] No one's ever said that to me before.

I've seen a few others like you, is why I ask.

[dannebrog]

[His smile softens a little at the way the other turns that blanket around himself. He feels kind bad and wishes he carried around an extra jacket or something but to Denmark--this is nothing compared to the harshness of the north.]

What's wrong with likin' a name? It rolls off the tongue easily!

[He nods and his smile brightens once more]

That's great that you actually believe us! I tend t' just let it go when they think it's some estranged name our parents called us or somethin'.

[the_daybreak]

[This is mostly Riku's fault for not wearing a shirt, honestly. He simply sighs a little, snuggling in it and blinking over at Denmark.] Nothing, I just didn't think it was a name to really... enjoy.

Well... even if I didn't believe you, there would be no point in making a fuss about it. We're from different worlds, so I can't act like I know how it is there.

[dannebrog]

[That's what you get for trying to be cool, all shirtless and like, seriously! You might as well deserve it to be cold, or at least consider a serious wardrobe change. Still, Denmark notes how the other folds himself further and further into the warmth and a small smile cannot help but linger.]

You should really learn t' enjoy your name, you know, it's the only one you have for the rest of your life! Be proud of it.

[And yes, he's dropping that last conversation, it's always awkward--the whole nation question.]
