"If it hits a hundred and two do you turn into a pumpkin?" Axel grinned a bit and then clicked his tongue again, absently scratching at his temple. "Kid if the rain gets you sick you'd better start wearing a poncho or something, cuz I don't think it's gonna let up anytime soon."

When Riku confirmed he'd gotten it right, Axel shrugged cavalierly. Then he folded his arms again.

"Well you never asked," he retorted. "Knowing the temperature of something within a half a degree or so by touching it is kind of an obscure talent, you know? Not exactly my most marketable skill; how do you even classify that on a resumé?" He arched an eyebrow then. "Just don't expect me to stick my head in the oven to make sure it's preheated properly."

In a gesture that might have surprised Riku then, Axel extended his hand to help him to his feet.
