Well, yeah. Explotaro isn't magical. It's just his biology.

[Said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world]

[seadevil]

Do you have any more of these creatures? What can they do?

[Perhaps some combination of a wheel for it to run in and something to make use of the heat...but then he'd need something to power it with. If the creature could be placed inside and automaton...]

[thatsmycue]

[If only Gold knew what was going through Motochika's head at the moment]

You wanna meet the whole crew? I can arrange that--

[he says right before sneezing and rubbing his hands across his arms]

M-maybe when it gets a li'l warmer.

[seadevil]

Yes, yes, no rush. I'll need some time to draw up plans anyway.

[He claps Gold on the shoulder.]

I'll let you have a look at them when I have it all sketched out.

[The pins and needles feeling in his hand catches his attention almost immediately. It's like it began to thaw out as soon as it came into contact with Gold's shoulder.]

Now that's strange...

[thatsmycue]

[The warmth courses through Gold's body almost immediately as well, and his gaze snaps from Explotaro's flames to his captain's hand]

. . .

Is your hand always this warm?

[Well. He wasn't quite sure what else to make of this development.]

[seadevil]

I tend to run a bit warm, but that hand was cold as ice until I touched your shoulder. Maybe it has something to do with whatever enchantment is causing this cold.

[All these curses and strange things appearing aren't as exciting as they are in stories. Actually having to live through them is a bit of a headache.]

I'd thought we were free of that sort of nonsense, but it seems never to end.

[thatsmycue]

Well, don't take your hand away! I don't wanna freeze to death!

[It would hinder movement perhaps a bit too much for his own comfort, but hey, Explotaro's flames weren't working. He didn't have much of a choice]

[seadevil]

I can't well walk about the ship with my hand on your back until this cold breaks.

[He frowns. That would be inconvenient and embarrassing. Yet warm...]

I suppose I can stand here a bit while you thaw out, but then I have to go about actually sailing as I'm meant to.
