[Being out of direct sunlight is a relief, and Nagiri sighs, relaxing against Bucky's back.]
Yeah...
[But with relief comes dread. His reaction to sunlight was instinctual, but did he just break his cover and reveal he's a vampire? If somebody's this weak to sunlight, anybody would guess they're a vampire, right? (Living in a town with a high vampire population has given him some misconceptions about how used the average human is to interacting with vampires.) Nagiri's sweating, and it's only mostly due to the heat.
Maybe he can just... play it off? Act like a normal human about it?]
Uh... hot day out, huh...?
[Internally, a part of him is screaming at himself. What is he doing?! Small talk?! How is that helping anything? You're humiliating yourself and going to burn at this rate! Just reveal you're a vampire and get some proper defense against the sun! Nagiri hushes that part of himself down by reminding himself that revealing he's a vampire while weakened like this would be stupid when he doesn't know how Bucky feels about vampires. Between sunlight and Bucky, he'd rather face the sunlight.]
