    Summary

    “In the like name of that love of ours, take back these thoughts which here unfolded too, and which on warm and cold days I withdrew from my heart’s ground.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning, “Sonnet 44”

    Summary

    There are another loud series of beeps, and Alhaitham’s eyebrows are pinched together, his mouth set in a tight line as he turns to look towards the construct, before he looks back at Kaveh, expression pained and tight.
    “I’m sorry,” he says, voice trembling with strain, and no, please don’t leave me, please don’t let me go-

    Kaveh and Alhaitham get trapped in a cavern together.

    Summary

    “If the body can’t warm up, then things get uh, b-bad?”

     

    Mobei-jun cuts him a look that’s made for slaughter. “What does that mean?”

     

    “A-ah, it’s called hypothermia, my king.”

     

    “And you die once it happens.”

     

    Again, not a question. “You can.” When Mobei-jun makes an absolutely terrifying face, Shang Qinghua hastens to add, “But not instantly! Y-you can actually recover from it, if the hypothermia doesn’t progress too far.”

     

    “How far?” Mobei-jun growls.

     

    “There are f-f-f-five stages,” Shang Qinghua shivers out, lips numb. “The fifth stage is death.”

     

    -

    Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun have their spiritual powers sealed before getting dumped in a white-out snowstorm. Mobei-jun quickly learns that humans are far more susceptible to the cold than he thought.
