What they look like doesn't necessarily mean what they are. ( forgive me, years in mystic falls has made him cautious and a little paranoid. )

But, I'm still going to hold off on lighting one of those. I'm not that cold. ( he's definitely colder than he usually feels but he can deal with it. it's not that bad. )

Besides, what's one match going to do? I'd need to light a fireplace to really get rid of the chill.
