[He's cut off as he hears the structure around them creak with a similar noise, powdery snow falling down around them as the crystalflowers are disturbed. And at both their sides, the source becomes clear -- as long, spiny roots draw up from the ground and the walls, the flower in the center beginning to stir.]
