Lee hated cold weather but he had some advantage over Neji; his hot-bloodedness was more than just a joke. Lee's constant physical exertion kept him rather toasty. His skin practically radiated heat, though he still needed a jacket and other protective gear in the extreme weather found on the mountain. He hated how the thickness of the winter wear limited his movements. If anything, the lack of ability to run at high speeds made him more nervous than possibly running into a dangerous witch if they weren't careful. Not that he was fearful of the witch herself as much as he feared what could happen if Neji was put up against such a foe again after his previous ordeal.
The taijutsu specialist was confident in Neji's ability to keep watch over the area. Instead, Lee watched his Meister for any cracks in his expression that might give away what he was seeing. So far they had been obstacle free but the day was still young. Lee witnessed Neji reach up and rub at his area where the veins protruded from his temples. Lee's own skin was bitingly cold from the wind; he could only imagine how chilly it was making the Hyuuga's blood with the veins so exposed.
"O-oh! Yes, I will do that before I get tired!" Lee blinked behind the goggles, his thoughts having been centered so strongly on his teammate's expression the words didn't quite compute at first. It was troubling him to see Neji uncomfortable. Moreso than usual lately. He chalked it up to himself having been the cause of discomfort for his Meister on their previous mission. It was a logical conclusion, after all.
Instead of standing there useless Lee decided he needed to take action! Moving to stand before Neji, he removed his gloves and stuff them in his pockets. The cold air hit his hands like knives but the young green beast had dealt with pain enough that it hardly phased him.
