Currently, he's firing pellets of ice - or, what is trying very hard to be ice - at the wall. It comes out as a disgusting sludge and slides down it, and he frowns. Frustrated, he kicks a bunch of water bottles around the room, before beginning to tamper with the gun on his arm.

"I don't suppose you're any sort of tech guy." He looks up at the guy who looks strangely akin to a mountain man, and cocks a brow.

Only it's thick to make up for the changing temperatures, and the cold from Valo's body doesn't properly freeze the pellets. "Temperature control. But yeah, that's a function."
