Ah, now you're doing me a disservice. I haven't thrown up on anyone's boots since I was fifteen. [But his feelings aren't hurt, not by his tone.] And speaking of, I hear there's a nasty bit of grippe going through the region. Maybe they wanted the lot of us out of the Gallows so they could air it out a bit. Freeze the disease out by getting the windows open, and freeze the disease out of us by getting us out here among the ice. How's that for your morale?

Now, t' tell it true, this'd be the first and worst time I've really spent among snow. I haven't seen much of it before. Must have been driven half to madness one of your last times, that you've worked in snow before and come back now for more of it.
