[For Velvet, the cold is nothing – literally. The low frequency worlds neuter a lot of her abilities, but she's still a daemon who doesn't feel the elements. It can be useful, but it also reminds her of her inhumanity.

She follows suit with her own stretching, getting loosened up while considering his question.]

When I started hunting, I was timid at first, but I think that's typical. Once I got used to it, I formed the habits I have now. My teacher used to scold me for fighting with too much emotion.

[The cold way she says "teacher" makes it obvious that her memories of him aren't fond.]

So my old instincts are the same as my new ones, but I'm still confident that I can adapt.
