The fact that this man they had wound up with seemed to have no concerns for others initially put him off but then again they were on the peak of a mountain at a dizzying height with no way to bear the icy chill. So he let it slide since he might be doing the same thing in his place. That taste of gravel within his mouth from winds picking up also did horrible things to his vision making his eyes water and sting from the dust. It also served to remind him of a small desire for water. Both for his skin and for his insides as he was becoming parched for water. Whilst Ry had managed to keep himself reasonably aloft doing his decent, three fourths of the way down through it all, Madison didn't have that kind of fortune. He slipped and began tumbling down before managing to place his feet underneath him and recover.<br/><br/>He came to a undignified stop just behind where Ry had gotten to. On one hand he was okay if a bit roughed up but also he was at least caught up with Ry now. Pulling himself up a bit, he felt that the place was growing more and more bitterly cold but only now did he notice that the very winter he felt was rushing aggressively towards them. His hand went to shield his eyes from the winds as the stinging daggers of frost pierce his skin right to the bone making him shiver in reflex. His eyes looked up at this… this thing that he couldn't even begin to describe. It was awe inspiring and struck him silent and daft as his eyes couldn't help but remain upon it. It was literally holding his attention. Then when the blinding flash took him he began to try and clear his vision of that groaning in agony over being blinded like that.<br/><br/>When he recovered his vision he saw that Ry had already picked up that strange glowing ice shard and when Madison was offered it he took it up with rapt attention completely silent over what was going on. His mind was trying to catch up with what was happening. This thing left behind felt sacred, divine... even as it felt like he was holding ice in hand that would threaten to overtake him just by its existence alone. He was quickly snapped out of his trance when he heard the sound of bells and quickly staggered back onto his behind with his hands holding onto the ice shard. His eyes were focused on the woman in question as she floated in front of him. Her breasts and abundant cleavage was nearly staring him right in the face when she was looking at him upside down. As a pure blooded male it was extremely difficult to avoid gazing at him and had to force himself to rapidly blink his eyes and maintain eye contact.<br/><br/>Dumbstruck with how much was happening and looked bewildered as she demanded an answer just by the inflection in her voice.<em>"What is gone? What did you miss? What are you talking about?"</em>He would have stupidly said had Ry not beaten him to the punch on it. All the while Madison was completely forgetting what Ry just handed to him. Hence his mouth was open for a moment with no words coming out of it. Why was she staring at him like that and as she did the warmth of the surrounding area began to flood his body making him feel so much better about himself as he began to find his thoughts again. He found his eyes focusing upon her face once again as he would speak up. His tone was exasperated and he wanted to get some measure of control over the situation<strong>"Okay okay okay! Hold on… We just wound up climbing down from a very tall mountain and already been accosted with questions but we need answers as well."</strong>
