 t's very, very cold. It's cold enough that you'll see your breath fog in the air before you, that goosebumps appear on your arms and legs and a chill goes up your spine. You're inside, in a huge palace with sweeping arches and rooms, but it's no real shelter from the cold -- it's just as cold inside as out.
There's a throne room, a kitchen, various rooms and even a dungeon to be explored -- and outside, a frigid, frozen garden, a lake that's naturally frozen over, and miles, and miles of snow as far as the eye can see.
But be careful while you explore. The snowflake soldiers are naturally dangerous, but even more dangerous than that...there's that creeping sensation of numbness going up your arm, a pang through your chest, and the slow, slow freezing from the inside out.
Try not to leave any of your friends behind, okay? Even if they might look a bit too uncannily like some of the statues hanging around for decoration when they're frozen over.

[ Well, she's cold, but she doesn't really want to go through this whole thing again. ]
Rather... do you even--
[ Hm. ]
Can I ask what the last thing is? That you remember, I mean.
no subject
Hmm. I helped destroy the Throne. Not too much happened after that, although I do recall feeling very warm afterwards; it's the best I've felt since coming here. And then... I thought I'd head towards the kitchens. Oh! I gave my cloak to somebody because they looked cold, and then... and then...
[ He shakes his head. ]
Strange. I've forgotten.
no subject
You were trying to strip out of your clothes to go swimming.
[ She could be Maya. ]
no subject
How far did I get?
no subject
You were naked.

I guess...haha...you saved my life. Thank you very much.
[ This guy is pretty much completely shameless. ]
no subject
[ sweetly. ]
I forgot to mention the part where you agreed to help me with target practice once this is all said and done.
As the target, of course.
no subject
[ He dabs at his eyes again. ]
I must have given you a lot of trouble. I’m sorry. I don’t remember any of it, but I really am sorry. Hahahaha!
no subject
[ For the record. But-- finally, she releases him, looking him over almost critically. If he was suffering from hypothermia... ]
Can I see your hands?
no subject
[ It was nice being hugged, even if he was getting scolded at the same time. Even so, he doesn't protest and obediently draws out his hands. The tips of his fingers are white and waxy-looking. He can't feel them at all. ]
That's...probably not good, is it?
no subject
Well, it's not great. Luckily, you happen to have Maya Amano on the case!
[ And without any warning whatsoever, she's murmuring something under her breath, sliding her palms under his. The air shimmers around her, and then a silvery feminine figure manifests from within, floating calmly over their heads. As the figure beckons, a soft blue-green light wraps around him (because if his fingers look like that, Maya figures the toes might also be a problem) and sinks into his body. It's a soft, warm feeling, though it dissipates quickly once the figure disappears, frostbite resolved. ]
There we go.

Wait! Wait a minute, I—!

He holds his hands up, turning them over and marveling at them. ]
That's really useful!
no subject
[ Thanks, Artemis. Even if icy powers aren't helpful here, at least she can heal. ]
Still, make sure to take care of yourself. There are some things I can't heal, and even with those I can, I have a limit.
no subject
[ He doesn't know about raw power, but certainly in terms of style and speed. Sorry, GusuLan sect. ]
Oh! I've got to give this back to you. I insist.
[ With his newly-healed fingers and free from her firm embrace, he immediately takes off her jacket and hands it back to her. ]
no subject
Thanks! It's been seeing a lot of use here.
[ Can't imagine why. ]
But there's a whole sect that can heal where you're from?
no subject
I mean, they're also experts in musical spells. They've got a vast music library too, full of dusty old manuscripts. Nothing interesting. There was — is — a man who can use a guqin to explode the heads of fierce — wait, maybe you didn't want to know about that. As I said, it's all very boring, not worth discussing.
[ He's...still talking ]
Oh! They can even seal your lips together so you can't talk, very nasty. Punishment spell. They're so stuffy. They've got three thousand rules you have to follow! I know, I copied them out. Had to copy them out. Not all of them, just some of them. That was a long time ago...
no subject
You know--
[ Er. ]
I don't think any of what you just said was actually boring. Maybe a little concerning, actually...??
no subject
[ do u...dislike them or not, Wei Wuxian? ]
Say... your "friend."
[ He gestures towards the air where the silvery female healing figure had been floating just now. ]
Did you find her in the Abyss?
no subject
[ boy, this ain't Pandora Hearts. ]
No... she's technically always been inside of me.
no subject
[ He tilts his head, regarding her quizzically. ]
"Always inside of you" — how does that work? How did you find her?
no subject
[ Uh. Well. Okay then. ]
She showed up when I was in danger and since then, I've been able to call her on command.
[ this is the highly abridged version. ]
She's called a Persona.
