[Ain supposes that makes sense when he thinks about it, but also, what an inconvenience. Does magic often come with that much of a hindrance, or is Xingqiu particularly unlucky?

If Ain noticed any staring at all, he doesn't give indication of it. In fact, he's doing some of his own, and he's not making an attempt to hide it, green eyes wide with curiosity.]

You've found yourself in dire straits, then.

[Ain decides after a moment that Xingqiu likely needs more warmth than he does in this moment, considering what he just mentioned, and so Ain wordlessly removes his coat and tosses it over Xingqiu's shoulders. It's very large and very heavy, considering the bulk of it is made up of fur, but that should at least help. He thinks, anyway. Bereft of his coat, he really has no defense other than the nearby fire and other warm bodies nearby against the cold, but Ain figures he's had worse.

Like nearly dying in the void of time and space, for example. That has to be worse than being cold!]

If you don't mind my asking... when you picked your element, [he's assuming it was a choice, and not something Xingqiu was born with or something,] did you know that it would make you particularly sensitive to freezing to death? Would you pick a different magical discipline if you could?
