"I don't know if any real stories have happy endings." None he's lived, at least.

"I guess none of us have reached our endings, though. But this place might be the last chapter."

Levi had never been very optimistic.

"It has to end somewhere."

But it's a shame that so many of them are so young. It's one thing for a middle-aged man like himself to meet his end, but Levi is still just a boy.

"Have you ever given thought to what the terrain would like further north of here?"

"Everything ends, one way or another."

He shakes his head, "I haven't. I don't really know much about different climates or parts of the world."

He laughs softly. "It's colder. Far, far colder further north of here. Nothing grows. It's barren, rocks and ice."

"Really?" He kinda figured it was just more of this. But he never really though of it.

"And it was like that where you guys were stuck?"

"We were frozen in by the sea. In the spring and summer months it thaws enough to sail through, but the thaw never came." Year after year, the thaw never came.

"We'll get more sun soon. It'll be warm, maybe even green."

"I hope so. I'd love to be somewhere its not just white everywhere."

Green trees. He can barely imagine such a thing, it'd been so long.

"It's my hope the Spring thaw will come early."

Levi nods. It's his hope that the thaw comes at all, but he won't say that out loud. He knows he's paranoid about things here.

It's his silent hope as well, but he knows better than to ring his alarm bells in front of a lad who's already given up on any sort of happiness or stability.

"We'll get more sun," he adds, because it's true. Even if the thaw doesn't come, they'll be given more sunlight. "That'll be beneficial for all of us."

"I've noticed that. We got almost no sun for awhile, but it'd been getting more and more as time goes on. I guess that's normal?" No one else seemed worried about it. "I've never really been in a place like this before."
goingtobeunwell: (arctic. puzzling)

"We're far enough north that I think we'll experience the Midnight Sun. It'll never set."

People get strange when there's too much darkness, and even stranger when there's no night.

"Really? Wow...I guess I should have figured if there was a time with no day there'd be a time with no night." It seems kind of amazing, though. Possibly something to look forward to, since there's little else here.

"It makes people a little..." He holds up his hand and waves it a little. "Unstable until they can get used to it. But it's worth experiencing."

"I guess it would...people probably find it hard to sleep too." And that could make them more on edge than usual. Levi never had trouble sleeping when it was light out, though...no more trouble than usual, at least.
