At first he didn't notice the way she was attempting to look over, but once or twice when he peered back to make sure she was keeping pace alright he noticed that her gaze had dropped. When he realized she was scrutinizing his injury it was enough to make him bristle. Unsure how to digest someone being worried for his sake, the alien had assumed she thought he was weak enough to be laid out by a simple crack in his ankle. It only motivated him to trudge on more stubbornly.

Algidus wasn't going to protest the break, though; making headway in this miserable weather was, well... miserable. He simply turned back to the other clone and arched a brow as he lowered his own portion of the carcass to the ground. "Spare me the updates on your strange bodily functions. I'll freeze this through; it should help to preserve it until you humans can do whatever passes for food preparation." Without any further cajoling the alien crouched over the slain squid-lobster, holding his hands out as a bright white glow began to illuminate them. Once frost had begin to fall, he placed them to the carcass and held them there; it took a little bit longer due to the heat, but a frosty coating was beginning to creep over the creature's carapace and exposed flesh.

Algidus held it a little bit longer, until his kill had been properly frozen through. Then he lifted his head to AJ, starting to pull his hands back; the glow of his powers was dissipating again. "Satisfactory?"
