Kaito:  "When I die, I’m smashing your stupid jewel on my way out if it’s the last thing I do." Kaito leveled a glare at Vlad through his shivers.

Vlad:  Vlad responded with a chipper laugh. It was unclear what he found so funny.

Elisabeth:  Exasperated as she was, Elisabeth gave Kaito a firm clap on the shoulder. "Calm down, now. I daresay you’re at no risk of actually freezing to death."

Kaito:  "I—I—I mean, you’re r-r-right, but I feel like it’d still be a problem if I s-s-stopped being able to move."

Elisabeth:  Elisabeth did have a point. Kaito’s soul was currently housed inside a homunculus. As long as he didn’t unintentionally undergo severe blood loss, his body was immortal. In fact, if he were a normal human, he would have already succumbed to hypothermia and died. But if Elisabeth’s blood running through his veins was to freeze, so would his motor functions. And given their current situation, he wasn’t particularly keen on asking someone to lug him around as a paperweight.

Hina:  Hina clenched her fists in determination. Her face full of resolve, she grabbed at her maid uniform. "Now I understand! Now that it’s come to this, we only have one option left! As his bride, I will take extreme, extreme pleasure in removing my clothes and pressing myself against my precious husband to better warm him up!"

Elisabeth:  "Settle yourself down, Hina. ’Tis true that you replicate a human’s body heat despite being an automaton. But stripping and clinging to him will change little. Also, do try to hide your ulterior motives a bit more thoroughly. Promise me that, if nothing else… In any case, the red dragon seems to have stopped moving. We have nothing to use as a guide, and Kaito is on the verge of freezing."

Kaito:  "I d-d-don’t like where this is g-g-going."

Elisabeth:  "The matter now becomes, ‘what to do?’" Elisabeth crossed her arms and hmmed. Then she snapped her gaze to the side. The red dragon was lying on its belly there, seemingly unaffected by the cold. Ever since they’d arrived at the World’s End, she’d suddenly stopped moving. She was instead dozing off, as though she’d come home for the first time in a long while. Upon hearing what Elisabeth had to say, Jeanne shrugged again.

Jeanne:  "A good question. Leaving the pathetic mister to freeze to death won’t exactly do us any good. Nevertheless, walking about randomly would be foolish. We need to avoid wasting our stamina. Our best option is to await good news from my children. If things go well, it will give us a direction for our next course of action, as well. And if they don’t, well, we can just give up and let him die."

Kaito:  "D-d-damn, that’s harsh." Kaito lamented, his face pale. However, he didn’t have any specific objections to Jeanne’s proposal. After Deus Ex Machina had rematerialized, it had split up and begun scouting.
