"Excellent news, Heart, though I'm curious to here what sort of 'problems' you endured while facing off against that Cryogonal. As for my status, I'm cold, tired, and stressed from a long, eventful day, but otherwise I'm in perfect health and order. Hopefully we can all move on to warmer climes and find somewhere comfortable to camp soon...."

Nathan's shivering just a little too much to actually form a response with words right now.

...so he does something that Ventus probably isn't expecting.

He sticks the ice in Swiftfire's open flames for a few seconds, then pulls it back out.  There's not even a hint of it melting.

Then he just starts quietly chuckling...with a few coughs mixed in all the while.  Swiftfire draws a little closer to him, and he gives her an appreciative pat on the back of her neck.

That action caused them to freeze in shock for moment, before it became apparent what the boy was trying to demonstrate with that particular chunk of ice. Or rather......: "A Nevermelt Ice! Kyurem has seen fit to grant you a fraction of its power as you explore this ice caked lake, or so it seems! Though if I recall correctly, you don't have any Pokémon that knows Ice type moves on your person, so what are you.....ah, I see your problem now."

Ventus then bowed their head fell into thoughtful silence for a brief moment, before they perked up and gave the boy a enlightened smile!

"I know how to best handle that chuck of Nevermelt Ice: you could either lend it to Azumarill or Malphena! I'm perfectly willing to make a temporary trade for it with Malphena's Evolite, as that last battle with those.....Sableyes showed that she needs as much offense as she currently has invested in defense. Of course if you prefer to keep it to yourself, I understand and won't raise this topic up again."

More shivering from Nathan as he mulls that idea over...man, it's COLD down here...

...well, better that someone gets some use out of it while they're down here, right?  Won't do them any good otherwise...and an Eviolite does sound rather helpful for some of his own pokemon...like Yule, for instance.  He might have to talk with Valder in the future about obtaining that other one he has if the mercenary is willing to part with it...

Nathan nods a few times, teeth chattering and coughing a few times all the while, then holds the Never-Melt Ice out to Ventus.

Brrrrrr....he's SO glad he's wearing warm gloves right now...he can practically feel how cold the ice is even with them on...he's shivering even just looking at it and thinking about it...

(Not quite the idea I had, but hey, this works too)

The researcher smile further brightens as Nathan accepted his humble offer, and with a flick of his wrist out popped Malphena's Pokeball from his sleeve (that came from....somewhere), taking the Never-Melt Ice from Nathan (and wincing as the Item's cold lanced right into him! Brr...!), and after a few seconds of fiddling around, handed over the Evolite to them, with his sister holding the NMI in its place!

"H-Here you go, Nathan. B-By Kyurem's frosty domain, that I-Item was a-absolutely and intolerably frigid to hold, even I-if only f-for a f-few seconds..... (...) Do you mind if I hundle in close for Swiftfire to warm myself? Begrudged as I am to admit it, the gelid temperatures are beginning to wear thin on me, especially with how exhausted I am right now....."

Heart did not even flinch with cold. "Thanks the Creation Trio I born in Sinnoh and have natural resistance against ice. I think I the only here who is...chill around here. And the most...Cooler around here. Anyway, aswering your question Ventus, Abbandon was freeze because of one Ice Beam from that Cryogonal, but do not worry, I already free him and he is okay." Heart them let Abbandon enjoy the company of Ventus. "You two do not enjoy much because of the ambush we receive and now. Now you can enjoy the company with no problem."

"*Chuckles* You better watch it with the puns, Heart, or soon you'll be on thin Ice, or, heavens forbid, catch Hail for it too! (...) Oh dear......well, I'm glad you were able to free them poste haste before they contracted frostbite! *Motions Abaddon over to them* My child, are you alright? Yes? Well, go warm up with Swiftfire or Rose anyway, because the very last thing I want is for you to catch a cold due to being forcibly made cold!"

Nathan chuckles again (and coughs some more).  Yup, now Ventus knows how he was feeling earlier in the adventure...

He'll hand that Eviolite to Yule when he wakes up later.  The goat is sure to appreciate both the increased defenses and his upcoming access to Rock Smash, that's for sure.

Nathan and Swiftfire edge closer to Ventus.  Btw, Ralts is sitting on Swiftfire.  He looks fine for the most part, though he is shivering a little too.  Partially because Nathan is, but he's not nearly as affected by the chill temperatures.

Calam's nearby too, as usual.  He's just standing there, keeping an eye out.  Doesn't look like he's bothered about the temperatures at all, either.
