[Most people would try to avoid going through the Ice Path if they didn't have to. Eliot is not most people. Not that he enjoyed the trip, far from it. But hell, he's been through much worse than this with not nearly as many supplies. So while he's tired and, of course, cold when he reaches the exit, he's otherwise holding up fine.

The same could not be said for the Mankey following him.]

Oh for- I told you to stay in the ball, didn't I? Didn't I?

[The Mankey keeps shivering and is clearly not too happy about what he's just been through, but is trying to keep up a brave face. Yeah, he's clearly trying to look impressive, but a grifter this 'mon is not.]

Damn it, next time you're staying in there whether you want to or not!

[And then it dawns on Eliot exactly what he's doing. Annoyed, he closes his eyes and tries to resist the urge to facepalm. What is his life.]

...And I'm arguing with a monkey.

Shoulda just let you get frostbite.
