"I get the feeling you two are angry at more than just me maybe bein' an alien. It's like you're punishing me. If it's the shrimp, you have some..."
Kinner loudly gulps. That sounds like something which could go very wrong.
"Well," says Kinner, "my idea wouldn't do any permanent damage. If you're wrong, you'll have done me some pretty serious harm. It works on the same basic idea - the Thing doesn't like heat. You can test a part of me the same as my entire body, as long as it's living tissue. Like a sample of blood."
Kinner wouldn't be able to transform to stop them anyway. He can't even fight them off two on one if it came to that. Proving he isn't a Thing aside, he is not looking forward to the fire.
"I'm just asking you to think before doing something we'll all regret. Look, you're cold and not in the best moods. I get that. Really." He takes a couple steps back, eyes wide. "If I get injured or worse, this'll be on you. Please. There's gotta be a better way."
