Ice cutting

"That's weird, Von isn't coming here to call us back," Fily said while prepping Lei's tool for cutting the ice.

"He's probably just being stubborn," Lei said and looked back in the cabin's direction where Von looked very obvious that he was ignoring Venedette.

Gem, on the other hand, was too cold to even utter a sound. All she could do was shiver while waiting for Fily and Lei to do their thing and finally get her to eat the ice from the lake.

"W-Wait… A-Are you sure this is s-safe?" Gem asked after remembering the fact that this ice had been in this lake for more than a thousand years already. They didn't even ask the elders if it was an edible element.

What if the element just so happens to be something toxic that only Gyu and Iba's kind, aside from the salamanders, could survive from the effects of it?
