"Uh yeah, I think they do. I've never actually been afraid of spiders." He chuckles slightly, his breath crystallizing the air in front of him, snowflakes falling down about a foot out. His eyes begin to glow a bright blue. "That's irony for you. Of all the things we could have been sent to, it's spider world. The one thing I'm not super scared of. Never really got many spiders in Russia." He rolls the sleeves of his thick coat up, his already pale skin beginning to turn a light blue, the hairs on his arm icing over as a sheen of ice began to cover both arms. "Especially no spiders like this. Spiders always hated me." The ice on his arms take form, shaping into a thick chain made out of the most blue crystal ice you've ever seen. "Yeah, whenever spiders got near me, they'd always do two things, curl up and freeze to death, or turn around and high tail it out of there." The chains begin to ravel around each of his arms entirely, covering them in a thick wrapping of chain, probably adding up to at least 40 feet of chain around each arm. On the end of each chain is a three pronged trident made out of ice, which he is currently holding in his hands. The prongs on the harpoon are one foot long and razor sharp, more than enough to really stick in the flesh of something. And at negative four hundred twenty degrees, which is how cold Kholodny makes his weapons, getting a harpoon stuck in you is pretty much game-over.

"I'd be careful if I were you Keezi, there's a winter storm warning in effect for everything around me right now." He laughs heartily, shaking his head at his own terrible joke. Man, this is rather unlike him, being all courageous and whatnot. Well, truth be told, as soon as he saw that monster, he let Stribog meld with him, at 50 percent capacity. That's why his eyes started glowing. He was being serious when he said he's not afraid of spiders, but that thing is more than just a spider. That thing is way more than a spider. He's not about fighting something like that, but let's look at the options. Option One: Kholodny runs, so he is now alone and just as likely to run into something like that, but now by himself. Hmm, not so great. Option Two: He grabs Keezi and pulls her into the cave to run. Yeah no, not gonna happen. Option Three: Kill it. Welp, looks like that's pretty much the only option available to him right now. And with Stribog's help and courage, it actually feels pretty plausible. Plus this way, if he dies, at least he'll have a death buddy.
