[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

The sight of Nathan cradling a chuck of ice with a mixed look of distaste, wonder, and perplextion naturally arose the curiosity of Ventus, who paced over to peer at it and then the boy Noctowlishly. Raphael and Lucifer were already there near their side, practically nuzzling the blazing horse as they hover by her in order to warm themselves up from the gelid temperatures!

"Nathan, why are you holding that piece of ice, and looking confounded at what to do with it? If its fresh water your looking for, or something to cool a drink, I don't suggesting using it, as all the water and ice here is saltwater."

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.
