Hmm, that's interesting. Maybe Tepes is subconsciously getting the hang of these powers, after all. He's just going to sidle a tiiiiny bit further to one side, then.

"Listen, if you want to try and use your newfound icy powers to build us a boat out of here, I will freeze my balls off right along with you. I just really don't think the answer is going to be that easy." His tone is as matter-of-fact as it was flippant five minutes ago, just as amiable as ever. Trevor's always been the practical type. He's had to be. He knows how to survive in places like this, and it isn't by flailing about wildly in an attempt to break out. You get to know people. You survive the winter. You gather intel. You find the secret. That's how it works. You have to have patience, which he is, in fact, surprisingly good at.
