Doranbalt wonders how long it will take them to get to the city, and Warren wonders if they'll be able to use their magic to summon all the guilds in the continent at once. He says that if they all work together, then they can do something about their faces, and they won't have to waste time. Warren says that he sees what will happen: the disciple will choose the path that his master followed, and the disciple's path will follow his master's. He asks if he's getting scared, and thud says he is. He wants to see the ice on his face. He's not scared yet, he says, and he wants to know if the ice will work on him. He doesn't know if it will, but he knows that if he does, he'll have to sacrifice himself for the sake of the ice sculpture. He tells Warren to stop thinking about that, and to think of it as a family ice sculpture, and not an ice sculpture for himself.
