"No reason? He insulted me! I wasn't about to just stand there and take it when I had the method of knocking his lights out!"
"Is there not anything more we can do for him? I'm worried that there might be others who are suffering as well..."
Kurie exclaimed, looking disheartened. It looked like out of the builder pair, she was the one who was more human than the other. She would explain why Malroth is the way he is, but then they wouldn't trust him for sure if she spilled the beans.
"You act like you've never seen death before. Deal with it. It is pretty cool though, isn't it? I wonder what exactly did him in, can't just be the cold, that'd be boring."
"Well, if this place has a working fire place we can set him by it to speed up the process and keep an eye on him, but don't worry we'll make sure no one else is in such a position." Bishamon reassured Kurie with a smile.
For some reason, it seemed that the dog tags were a bit diffcult to read, with only one detail being clear. Both Asagi and Ragna were able to determine that he was in some sort of war and had served, but not much else except that his name was thankfully in bold letters. It read
" DEX HELLER". There is one odd thing though, the dog tags seemed to be covered in ice? That name would seem familiar to Ragna as well.
"To be fair, he did tell me that it would be really easy to use as long as we didn't go to any place that was known to trap people. But I don't know of an place like that, so I have no clue why it doesn't work here." Jack felt like there was a more specific instruction, but he couldn't remember it... not that he would admit that to the people he brought together.
"
They were certainly locked early, honestly, this whole place felt like an escape room, even if that wasn't what Jack intended it to be. Something weird is definitely going on here and there's still another mystery, I can just feel it."
Bishamon would have a surprisingly easy time moving the man out of the way of the door. He was muscular, but also lean, being semi-light. When lifting him up, she would notice his clothes and body had ice on it. The make-shift blankets were semi-helpful to making the ice melt though. He was getting close to waking up.
Nana would notice something very odd when taking in the outside surroundings. There was a control frozen environment encompassing all of the left side of the front porch. It was so controlled that it didn't even touch the gate. Larry would look out as well. " That's pretty strange, it kind of me remind of something my old boss, Jordan Mahkent could do." he mumbled.
To anyone, studying the newcomer, they could see a young man who looked to be in his twenties.... when everyone could hear a shout from outside.

"
HELP!" A voice called out from within that winter landscape.

Nana glanced to Larry, giving a curious tilt of her head as she asked, "Does that mean he's here too? Maybe he's outside somewhere and can stop making everything cold out there."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's when the older of the two soldiers walked over to the group, clearly eying the others with the strange hairstyles
"What did you find on the
dog tag?"
Marius looked back at the others "Find anything useful other than the guy who seemed to be
freezing cold and had a blanket on?"

"Someone's making cold. At least half of the scenery is covered in snow. It's definitely ain't natural." Nana answered the Roman soldiers.
Meanwhile the war God was initially surprised by how light the young man was. Then a bit worried. He shouldn't be as light as he was, especially when she herself was heavily injured and he was covered in ice.
She had just turned to set him on a couch or somewhere he could rest when she had heard the call for help from outside. Setting the man down carefully she turned towards the door and started for it.
She wouldn't leave someone in need if she could help it, living or not.
"Hold on a second Bishamon, don't just rush out there injured!" Nana huffed as the woman moved to pass her and Larry to find the person calling out for help.
"Then I should count on you to help, right Nana?" Bishamon gave the Regalia a small smile.
"Huh? Of course." Nana rose a brow.
"
Come, Shikki." Bishamon called, and in a flash of light Nana took on her Vessel form. Since Kazuma wouldn't come to Bishamon's call, this would have to do.
Bishamon perked. She almost forgot.
"Ah, Kurie was it?" Bishamon turned to the builder, "Do you plan to come help or stay and watch Dex Heller in case he wakes soon?" She asked, though gave a brief glance to Malroth with a tense smile before returning her gaze and focus to Kurie.
She was sure Kurie would also keep an eye to her companion in the meantime.
Either way, Bishamon wouldn't wait too long before going to try and find the person yelling for help with the others heading out.
