• hair on body standing up

Answer 2

9. 38°C, or 100.4°F

Answer 3

Thank you for your clarification. If the hairs on Xander’s arms just started lying flat against his skin, this typically indicates that he is not cold. Instead, when the body is colder, the hairs would stand up as part of a response to help retain heat through insulation.

If Xander's hairs are lying flat, it suggests he might be at a temperature that is comfortable or warm, likely around 36°C, or 96.8°F to 38°C, or 100.4°F, but given the specific context of lying flat, it's more consistent with a normal temperature of 36°C, or 96.8°F.

However, if you are indicating that his internal body temperature is indeed 38°C, or 100.4°F, that would suggest that he is experiencing a slight fever or elevated body temperature which is also possible.

Thank you for your input! If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask!
