Guard: @Albert: Uh, I'm doin' good??? I'm fine if you're fine?
(She tips her head, confused.)
Guard: Er, anywhom, name's Ruspin. Sorry about the scare. I like to think that it helps me get an idea on what people are like.
(Beat.)
Ruspin: Although it'll probably get me killed.
(She throws her rod to one of the other guards, which another guard panickedly catches.)
Ruspin: Anyway, how's about we head up to Valir's Fort? It's gonna get even colder in the night.

(Ruspin, unbuttoning her coat, revealing a basic undershirt, pants, and combat boots under all that, as well as a small but noticeable amount of musculature, throws the coat to Albert. She barely seems fazed by the cold.)
Ruspin: Wonderful! Guards, let's lead the way!
(She does a gesture, and the guards back up from the envoys/bodyguards, although one helps Naomi up, and Ruspin starts-a walkin'.)
Ruspin: So, you got any questions?

—With the duster keeping his body warm, Takanuva follows the Ruspin alongside the rest of the group—
@Ruspin: Um, I mean no offense Miss Ruspin, but why doesn't the cold bother you? I know that Ko-matoran are used to the icy winds and blizzards of their home, but even they need warmth to sustain themselves. Why aren't you...well, shivering?
And on that subject of creatures, are there any that could...I don't know, maul us if we treaded on its territory? A friend of mine had an...unfortunate experience with a Rahi once.

'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.[Kovian]
Ruspin: @Subject of Creatures: Well, there's snares, which are like these big, furry creatures with teeth and claws, but have tentacles in their stomach for added range. Thankfully, they do not show up frequently @Takanuva: Well, when at boot camp, we were left in the cold for days upon days upon days upon days upon days upon days upon days upon...
(This goes on for a solid five minutes.)
Ruspin: ...Upon days upon days of training! @Quartz: Huh? Oh! It's relatively cool here. No puns intended. Kinda wish there wasn't an enforced curfew. Even though I'm the one who helps enforce it.

Ruspin: @Roy: Oh, really? Who? And, yeah, after that "star" crashed here, it's been a bit rough.
