I will still be here, stargazing
Amusement lights up Iskra's features, and he can't hold back the temptation to rib the younger man a touch. "Oh I could chop up both legs for you then," he laughs good-naturedly, stepping back with a shake of his head as Deimos steps in to provide the actual relief. "One time is all it takes for people to doubt my axe skills huh?" he furthers the jest, never having taken an axe near a limb before, unless ursurs counted and then it had been intentional severing.
Still, with the excitement dying down, so too does his laughter as he turns back to his own patch of unruly ground. Yanking flame from another nearby sconce, he works the heat into the moving mud until it hisses and quiets into stillness and obedience once more. Among it he continues to work at defrosting the worst of the ice that has lingered on the roads and rails as well, the chill deep from the stretch of cold that LongNight brings here, the worst Halo always sees. Salt could only keep so much of it at bay.
Iskra uses more fire on the mud and ice to get the roads and railings back to a good spot
