Vox moves with the group and like the first time is unaffected by the cold.
 
“Maybe you should adjust those headphones of yours.” Liza told Lyrik. “We’re going to Iceik’s tribe and burying him there. The problem is finding it and, well, if they accept intruders stepping into their territory.”

“If I recall, the Ice Wolves usually hangs out in caverns. Didn’t we encounter that weird machine in a cave?” Bob tried to remember the details.
 
Vox says "If not we shooed at minimum offer the ax to them."
 
"That cave was definitely empty..." Asuza remarked. "We could try and look for a cavern near a group of trees? Axes aren't just for killing things... maybe they like to do some woodwork in their free time?" She joked. "At any rate, maybe we could keep an ear out for their howling and follow the sound."
 
"Maybe those trees will help block off the worst of these blizzards," Lyrik said, rubbing his arms to warm himself. "We should probably look for some other signs of Ice Wolves lurking around, like howls or footprints."

"Do you think if we howl like a wolf, they'll come to us?" Nicori said.

"Yeah, maybe, along with any other monster that can hear us. Not a good idea, kiddo." Lyrik laughed nervously.
 
“Yeah, what he said.” Liza followed up on Lyrik suggesting Nicor to not do it. “Last thing we want is to get trashed by monsters.” She turns to Vox, remembering that moment where her energy was definitely wasn’t Neutral. “Yeah, we don’t need monsters coming in our direction.” 

“Ice Wolves have a usual pattern of sending about three or four for scouting. They usually seek out food in certain spots where blizzard is strangely not active.” Wrath finally said something. He was sitting on Nicori’s shoulders. “It should be… a bit north from here. You’ll notice once the Blizzard starts to die down.”

“Oh, it’s the doll. It talks.” Bob was surprised.

“I ain’t a doll! I just got tired of ya’ll asking too many questions.” Wrath said.
 
"Two wasn't too much to handle for me but four might be troublesome if they're all strong." Asuza rubbed her chin. "I guess Ms. Z found some use for you if she wanted us to drag you along," she remarked about Wrath before heading north. "Makes me wonder what else is out here we need to worry about."
 
"Cool, my toy talks." Nicori smiled before petting Wrath on the head. "Looks like Mama had the right idea when she made you into a toy, huh? You sure know a lot about these Ice Wolves. Do they usually attack newcomers?"

"That little toy can prove useful if he knows a lot about these Wolves." Lyrik said. "Well, I guess there's nothing else to do but head north. Let's see if this little guy is right."
 
“Hey, I’m very useful. You’re lucky to even have one of the deadly sins of the Wat---I mean, me on your team.” Wrath stopped himself. “Anyways, the Ice Wolves usually calm, but once they start hunting for food, they’ll become aggressive. Thankfully, there aren’t any other monsters that pop up to eat humans in the north.”

“Hmm? Why’s that?” Liza asked.

“While Ice wolves prefer meats, some monsters managed to convert snow into a valuable food source. And since this place is constantly snowy… I say they’re set for life.” 

“Then we won’t have to worry about being attack by them.”

“No. I said they won’t eat you, not that they won’t hurt you.” Wrath warned. “I say proceed with caution.”

With enough distance, they noticed an alarming amount of cavern at certain spots. Sounds of howling can be heard and the blizzard storms isn’t as intense as before.

“I smell fire.” Bob said. “Looks like something is being cooked.
