No, I mean, literally. If I'm remembering right, as long as you're shivering it means your body's still trying to get warm. When the reflex stops, that's when you're in trouble.
[A beat. He, for his part, doesn't feel dumb, just confused.] Uh, the heck's "German"? [...And then he clears his throat.] But yeah, I. I dunno. Back where I'm from, talking to someone without being right there with them isn't really a thing. Normally, anyway. So it just rubs me the wrong way being stuck inside without being able to do anything for the people that aren't.
Not that I've got any right to complain about it. I can at least offer company, since it's not like I'm going anywhere even if I wanted to. [There is an attempt at a light laugh. It's a valiant effort and actually half-convincing, but it's also hella brief.]
