[she's freezing her butt off to~ portugal is usually warm and only gets snow in the mountains, so don't mind Lisbon poking her head into your warm barricade]
C-can I join Senhor~

[sicilia_graecia]

[ oh god, he feels your pain. his barricade is opeeeen. ]
Sure thing, cariño. This place is freezing.

[lisboaa]

[she climbs in and wraps herself into a blanket]
I know, I don't know how the Americans deal with it.

[sicilia_graecia]

Neither do I. They must know how to keep their heat or something; this place is just far too cold for us. [ he laughs. ] I've got my heater and a plethora of blankets, though.

[lisboaa]

[she grabs another blanket]
It is far too cold. But anyway, how are you...besides cold.

[sicilia_graecia]

[ he smiles. ]
I know, right? Hm? I'm all right. Going to be busy with paperwork later...how about you, cariño?

[lisboaa]

[she moves closer to the heater]
I'm quite fine, just trying to adjust? But that is to be expected no?

[sicilia_graecia]

[ he nods. and moves closer too. ]
That's good to hear. Yes, ha ha, very expected. HQ is quite big--takes a while to get used to.

[lisboaa]

[she brings her knees up so her chin can rest upon them]
It is, I hate big places. I'm much more used to my small little place....
But uhm...w-why are you shirtless? Wouldn't you be more warming with a sweater or something of the sort?

[sicilia_graecia]

[ he blinks. ]
Small places are definitely more comfortable.
...shirtless? Oh yeah...I just got out of the shower, so...I wasn't thinking. I walked out and found that it was freezing so I started up the heater, grabbed blankets, and had forgotten all about that. [ he reaches back and scratches below his shoulder blade nervously. ] I should probably get a shirt on now.

[lisboaa]

[she laughs a little]
You don't have to if you don't want to. I just thought it was a little odd.

[sicilia_graecia]

[ he pauses and laughs as well. ]
No, I'd better. Might catch a cold like this. Besides, it's not appropriate to be in the presence of a lady when I'm half naked~ [ and he's getting up and asdf cold, fleeing to the closet, getting a shirt, slipping it on, and retreating back to the blankets asdf. ] There.

[lisboaa]

[she can't help but laugh as he runs between the closet and the barricade]
I think you'll be much warmer now...
[she looks around]I need something like this in my own room.

[sicilia_graecia]

[ he grins and huddles closer. ]
I agree. If I'm not, then, well...I don't know, ha ha.
Something like this? A barricade of blankets? [ he laughs. ]
