Finally she spins on her toe to face Winter, who may still be on the floor in his careless way but has surely recovered from the blow by now. "You," she says, "must go to the lion, and tell him that I desire safe conduct to treat with him on a matter of as much importance to him as to me. Go peacefully, I do not mind if you alarm the pitiful creatures who side with him but do not harm them while I seek parley. Do you understand, my Winter?" She bends to crook her first two fingers under his chin to turn his head up for frigid eye contact, inspecting him, thinking furious thoughts to which he's only an accessory. "I think the lion may be unnerved to see you. We will see."

It's the only thing that does.
The ice spreads rapidly over his clothing and skin, until he is completely encased, frozen mid-laugh. He'd fall over, if his boots weren't iced to the ground.

"James," says Bella through her staff, "you okay? Do you need some cordial? It lasts, it turns out."
