“Okay, Griff, I’m here!”
“When I see the way you act,
Wond’ring when I’m coming back,
I could do about anything,
I could even learn how to love…” a singing voice echoed through the freezer, announcing where he resided.
The nymph walked on over to him.
“Hey, Flutterbug.” Griff spoke, an audible smile in his voice. He almost sounded back to normal again.
“Brought a few more things, Griff!” she said cheerfully as she put down the things she had.
“Oh? What is it?” He tilted his head curiously.
“Well, more broth for one.”
“Ooh, goodie! If I had a functioning stomach I’d be starving!”
Flutterwings grinned and gave him the thermos. He took it eagerly, in contrast to any other time she would bring him broth. Almost as if he wasn’t afraid to sip in front of her for some reason.
“Go ahead!”
Putting the cup to his mouth, he took a large sip. Strange, he didn’t look as horrifying as he described himself to be when he sipped from the cup. He drank like a regular pony, lips and all.
“Huh… that’s what you look like when drinking?”
“Actually…remember what I said about Umbrum and plasma deficiency and all that?”
“Hm… I think so. What about it?”
“Being stuck in this freezer has kinda…reversed that. So instead of plasma, my spirit is made up of some kind of…condensate. Conveniently I learnt that word from morbid curiosity in a Google search. It’s called the Bose-Einstein condensate and that’s pretty much why I’m so cold. But I still have umbrum properties. Meaning my wounds have already frozen over and cauterized. Just not fully. My teeth haven’t been replaced, but I can still do things like small sips without entirely deconstructing my jaw.” He chuckled.
“Heheh… Spiny would certainly rejoice.”
“Heh, speaking of which…I really miss you all…”
“I know you do… we all miss you too.”
“Heh. How’re they all holding up?”
“Could be better, could be worse…” Flutterwings sat down and put a hoof to her head.
“Oh? You alright…?”
“I’m good… I think…”

The results of visiting and staying in a freezer too many times.
Aw...
