As elevation increased, so did the intensity and amount of snow that the four unlikely allies were encountering. And while Jun may have been equipped with the correct clothes to face the treacherous Shivre Mountain weather, Gavin was under-dressed for the occasional, as was customary. Shivering as flecks of the white, powdery substance stuck against the bare skin of his arms, Gavin could feel the uncomfortable numbness in his sparsely covered feet begin to creep up. At least the musician could count himself lucky that he was able to walk in the path Jun was carving in the white layer instead of having to brave the snow on his own. All of this seemed irrelevant to the scribe himself, as he turned to explain the previous pun to Gavin, irked by his musically-inclined comrade's lack of understanding.
“You know what? It wasn't very good anyways.”
Blinking a few times after Jun decided to forgo explaining the wordplay to simply shoot his own pun down, Gavin replied in agreement with Jun. The troubadour was not attempting to be rude, as evidenced by the painfully plain tone he spoke to his friend in.
“You're right, man, it wasn't very good.”
While Jun and Gavin had their discussion on the finer points of grammar, it seemed one more person had joined their venture to Shivre's summit. The newest arrival to the journey was the rough looking man from before who had been thrown through the building by the man with the baseball cap. It seemed the two lunatics had resolved their conflict for the time being. While they seemed civil, they continued to trade barbs as the group traveled deeper into the blizzard. Being able to see if Jack and Jay could keep from ripping each others' heads off along the way would surely be an interesting spectacle. Gavin was not exactly interested in what either of them were saying, staring ahead dully as flecks of white continued to swirl past the rag-tag team.
"So what's the story with you two climbing this mountain...?"
Gavin now turned his head back, raising a quizzical eyebrow toward the pair. He was actually interested in hearing their answer. After all, the guitarist had only come along on the trek to the top of the mountain because he felt obligated to. Why someone, besides the story-crazed Jun, would willingly climb a mountain was beyond him.
