The Italian is bundled up in far more than anyone has any business being. It's all opulently Victorian, with brocades and brilliant splashes of color under the heaviest of woolen great coats. And he's still freezing.
He's freezing until the very second arms go about his middle and a nose comes dangerously close to brushing skin. He scent is of spicy cologne, machine oil, hair product, and silver and oak. Under that, is something slightly off, a but removed from how normal people smell. He instinctually goes for one of his many hidden weapons but remembers last minute how much trouble Jon will be in, if he openly murders someone on the streets. He's reduced to a dandy's charms.
It does help that he feels so much warmer now. "You would be correct. I was in need of a quick warmup. But if you could loosen up a tad, my cravat is being rumpled."
