It made sense. Snow would become stale water against the flesh, plus it would take too much effort to warm it, leeching warmth from a body that needs it. He could not think of how better to melt the snow than to use one's body, which would indeed make a mess of things.
Her mention of when the snow is gone made his ears twitch. To hear Kukutux speak as if she would not leave this mountain gave Raimo a little more hope; he wished to see her flourish, after all.
It was a risk to ask this question. Neither the mother nor daughter trusted him innately. They were not family. Any aid he has rendered to them has not softened their hearts to him nor borne fealty of any measure. If she wished him gone would he even leave? But the question hangs there now, and he must listen carefully for the answer.

When the snow has gone,he murmurs thoughtfully,
do you wish me gone also?
