Finally, he'll get to work on getting a fire started in the fireplace once she's settled in a little.

"Yeah! I remember!" Kin smiles widely, remembering him fairly fondly. "Yes please though. Warm."
After arrival though, Rein might try to go fetch a blanket, but Kin is just too cold and doesn't wanna let him.
Instead, he might find himself getting grabbed around the midriff by a rather dexterous tail, and dragged back, where Kin basically hugs him tightly, her tail wrapping them up to hold them together so she can leech off of his body heat, as her teeth chatter in a fairly miserable seeming way.
Poor Rein, having body heat and all.

"Right, or yeah, ok..." Gah. When he imagined getting crushed by a snake, this isn't quite how he thought it would go down. What's with the sexy snake people lately anyways?
Reinholdt doesn't particularly fight to get free. That'd probably just make it worse anyways. "You'd probably get warmer if I get that blanket and fire going. Maybe." But then Kin would have to let go and be cold for minutes at a time.

"Mmm warmmmmm.
Awww I can do that!" Kin says, freeing one hand long enough to kind of aim at the fireplace, and snap her fingers. Just like that, a fire erupts in said fireplace, rapidly quite warm, and fueled by whatever it is that keeps this place going.
"Mmmmm warmmmmm." She says again, nuzzling her nose into the crook of Rein's neck.

Reinholdt just gets warmer by the second too. He quirks his eyebrow as he settles in for the long haul. "That just begs the question: If you can create fire at will, how did you get cold in the first place?"

"Because outside is waaaater. And trying not to drown. And you can't really burn water." Apparently Kin came in through more like a window than an airlock. Or maybe just misunderstood how they work entirely.
What a crazy snek.

"You, uh, surely did remember to take the complimentary shuttle down... Right?" Reinholdt gets the distinct feeling she didn't. Oh man, Rein's pretty sure this isn't even the first time this problem has been had. Such a reoccurring theme was bound to happen with an underwater base. All the same... "I'm going to bring up installing some giant glowing neon signs to Felandria next time I see her."

Kin blinks.
Winks?
Gosh she should stop that.
"There was a shuttle?! I just. Kind of appeared nearby in the water.
Some glowing signs would be amaaaazing." Kin agrees, nodding a few times, and shifting around Reinholdt slightly. She might be using him to try to get warm, but her scales are surprisingly soft, and she can at least try to make it as comfortable for him as she can.
Re: HALO 183: The Not Remotely Gritty Reboot

Then again if the lights are too warm, she might end up wrapped around them instead of getting into the shuttle in the first place.
"You, uh, seem to get teleported around a lot. You might want to see a doctor about that." Last time she got teleported into space which is very dangerous! This time she got teleported underwater which is very dangerous! Reinholdt has a little concern.
"Is teleportation the secret to getting your scales so smooth and shiny? They're very nice."

Hmmmm. Maybe if the lights run off of cold fusion, then they won't heat up! Then the problem would be avoided!
"That is a good idea, actually. Do you know any doctors that might be able to help? I don't . . ." Though next time she gets teleported, it might be somewhere nice! You never can tell.
And then she blushes slightly at the compliment, her cheeks turning slightly blueish, as opposed to a normal person' reddish. "Oh, thank you! It might be! Though I also do spend a while when I bathe scrubbing them down, but that's only supposed to keep them clean.
And you are very . . . warm." Kin manages, feeling that she should compliment him back, though proving that she is, in fact, very bad at complimenting people.

"I can't say I do. Doctors that aren't evil tend to disappear faster than other professions. I heard there was a good clinic in Riverside but that was before it was overrun." Who knows if it's still there now?
"Uh... Thanks. I think. Just happy to help." Maybe too happy, but it's not an unpleasant situation to be in, coiled in the happy embrace of a friendly naga.

"Mmmkaaaaaaay." Kin listens, nods, and her eyes drift shut just a bit. "I'm sure I'l find sooomeone."
And, really, once Rein just accepts his doom relaxes a bit, being in the happy embrace of Kin is actually quite nice! Lying on a rather uniform layer of remarkably soft snek tail, acting almost like a bed, or at the least a very comfortable chair. Then more coils rather piled on top of him, a little heavy and kind of snug, but in that comfortable, 'wrapped up in a lot of blankets', sort of way. Then her human portion against his back, her face snuggled into the crook of his neck, trying to warm up.
Re: HALO 183: The Not Remotely Gritty Reboot

Doom indeed. Now would be a horrible time to need to use the restroom. Or have a leg fall asleep. Or any number of other inconveniences that tend to occur when some cute creature is holding your body down. Usually it's in your lap, but the principle remains the same here.
Well nothing to do but to take a nap Rein supposes. So he'll do that. Naps are nice.

Indeed it would be a terrible night to have such a curse!
Though if Rein is taking a nap, Kin takes the opportunity, and is breathing slowly, rhythmically, and in a 'I'm taking a nap now' sort of way very quickly.
After maybe twenty minutes of napping, and then with a surprisingly cute sort of 'mmmmmng~' sound, Kin starts to free Rein. Coil after coil shifts smoothly off of Rein, and flops heavily to the floor, allowing him a way up, but only if he waaaants to. By this point, everything is quite warm and comfortable.

Reinholdt sees no reason to stop sleeping. Everything's comfortable and warm and he's super lazy. There's a 96% chance he won't wake in a reasonable amount of time until some outside force makes him. You've got a cat in your lap now Kin. What will you do if hours have passed with no change?

What will she do if hours have passed with no change? She is a recently fed cold blooded creature, near a comfortable source of warmth. She is one of the few beings in reality capable of matching a cat for pure lazy when it comes to sleeping in the warm.
Kin pulls her coils back in, piling them back up on top of Rein, and goes right back to sleep.
If he isn't going anywhere, she doesn't see the need to either.
