[He's not going to ask a stupid question like "are you all right," because gods willing she WOULD NOT BE TEXTING HIM if she wasn't, but if she's trapped and surrounded by yeti, he would like to know.]
Probably. That's what I've heard. I've never seen one before, and nothing was included in the information we got from the satellite. I figured if they'd been seen anywhere, it would be there.
It's no wonder they were missed. It's not as if you can see them well in heavy snowfall. [BE CAREFUL, BELLE.] Strictly speaking, I'd rather face a yeti than an ogre, but that's only because they don't shake off spells.
I trust they gave you weapons on this mission.
[PLEASE SAY YOU HAVE A SWORD. OR KNOW SOMEONE WITH A SWORD. OR POSSIBLY A SHOTGUN.]
I think that's our job, anyway. Report back, prepare an OFFICIAL dossier for you all, so you know what to expect.[ on the plus side you can live UNDER THE ICE AND DO SCIENCE ISN'T THAT COOL ]
We have our own weapons. The ones that we chose when we arrived. I don't think anyone has anything else, though.
[ but come on they have a telepath someone has to have a gun.
but she doesn't really wanna kill it anyway. belle: yeti whisperer. ]
We don't know where they've come from, Rumple. There weren't monsters here when we left. There's a reason, and we have to figure it out. They might even be docile!

Just... Try not to get too close, Belle. They're not the most reasonable of beasts. And you are likely in their territory.

That's a rather large 'might be.' They could have migrated when the climate changed.

They're snow monsters, not mermaids, Belle.

With any luck, they'll let us leave this accursed base soon. I don't delight in the idea of that much snow, but better it than the moon.
