 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.

[Minato wouldn't have put it in such flowery terms, but she's not wrong.]
There just doesn't seem like much of a point to a castle without anyone in it, you know? It's so odd. And now that you bring up the knights... that's even weirder.
no subject
Of course, of course. A ruler is nothing without their subjects, a castle even moreso. I would even hesitate to call the current soldiers knights, for they are more like hollow dolls of cold, tenacious as they are in hunting down those who have done little wrong to them. We did not trespass on purpose!
[ It's not like they can really reason with them either, though. ]
no subject
Like something just made out of magic, right? Magic and snow...
[For some reason, it feels familiar, but he can't dredge it out of his memory right now.]
Well, if it doesn't really belong to anyone, then we have no reason to feel bad for trashing it on our way out.
[By lighting fires and things... oops.]
no subject
Exactly! And if those knights come at us, well, my blade is more than capable of melting them in their place. Have you been faring all right against them?
[ From one ruler to another, she should probably feel worse for trashing another's palace like this, but things refreeze quickly enough anyway that it's hard for her to care. ]
no subject
Yeah, more or less... they're not that dangerous so long as you're on your guard, you know?
[He did get thrown into the dungeons once, but when you have a fire Persona that's really not a big deal.]
Really, all of this seems more like a big inconvenience than anything super dangerous.
no subject
I would think that the possibility of frostbite and the difficulty of food procurement in frozen conditions count as more than mere inconvenience. It has been a while since I resided in a human body, but of this, I am certain.
[ She hasn't needed to eat for at least a thousand years or so, but even she knows that humans need to eat! And be in warm places...that's unfortunately one thing she also needs. ]

[...He shrugs.]
After the sirens, this just really feels a lot more peaceful. Maybe I'm getting too used to this sort of thing...
