#but Gideon SUFFERS in summer. He's sweaty and tired and going to pass out

[ouaw-facts-i-just-made-up]

The winter season doesn't only affect Kremy it also affects Gideon. Without fail every single time the temperature drops past 30°F, he gets a fever. His body just cannot handle the cold for some reason. People assume he'd tolerate the cold better and yeah it's easier for him to tolerate cold tempatures. But for some reason his immune system freaks out when it gets too cold.

Which means more often than not in the middle of winter Kremy and Gideon are both sick. So they might as well be miserable together and give themselves company.

Also I completely made this up I don't actually know if Fire Genasi work like this, but! Fire Genasi's have higher temperatures than other humanoids. So when they have a fever, it's extremely high compared to other humanoids. In fact a high temperature fever for fire genasis can be lethal. If they reach a tempature above 290° degrees they need to be admitted into an emergency room to bring down the fever before they die from a severe heat stroke.

I bring this up because one year that actually happened to Gideon. It was gradual but when it did get that high it scared everyone and he ended up in the hospital overnight. He lived. It was definitely not the worst night of his life and not his first near death experience. But it was definitely the most annoying one he's expierenced.
