Vikent pulls his cloak against his shoulders and winks at the young boy.
I heard a story about a place this cold once. There were these three trappers in a frozen land, and one time while they were at their local tavern, they got to talking about how cold it was outside, and how cold their cabins were. They could agree on everything but whose cabin was the coldest, so they decided to determine who, indeed, had the coldest cabin.
They went to the first trapper's cabin, where he said "Watch this!" and poured a cup of water into the air. Well, the water froze in mid-air and fell onto the floor.
"Not bad" said the other trappers, but each maintained their cabin was colder still.
So they went to the second trapper's cabin, and he said "Watch this!" and took a big breath and exhaled, whereupon his breath froze into a big lump and fell to the floor.
"Wow, that's colder than mine! "said the first trapper. But the third trapper exclaimed his was colder still. So they ended up at the third trapper's cabin. He said "Watch this!" and went into the bedroom, threw back the thick furs, and retrieved one of several small balls of ice there. He took it, put it in a spoon, and held a match under it. When it heated up enough, it went "FFFAAAARRRRTTT".
He won.
