[He has to raise his voice over the impetuous winds, yet still he can barely hear himself, so hopefully Xingqiu caught that. The snow here is far too deep for his liking, not that Ain really enjoys the snow in the first place. While he's struggling to trek through it, he stays mostly silent.
Ain files away Xingqiu's name in some corner of his brain before responding over the tempest,]

[The ruins are just ahead, which means that there's hopefully some form of shelter and no form of danger, because he's not keen on fighting at the moment. Not when his limbs are stiff from this frozen hellscape. Ain presses on. While he looks as though he's dressed for the weather, the truth is that he has a sleeveless shirt on underneath this, because fashion obviously comes before practicality. In short: He's effectively an ostentatious frozen block. Were it not for the coat, he might have already gotten frostbite and died.]
I assume you aren't from here either, yes? Do you have any inkling as to where we are?
[Or if they're going to die in this blizzard, for that matter.]
