I have to admit that Elizabeth brought up some interesting points. Upon reflection, I agree that Lois seems a bit passive. Of course, anyone who has experienced extreme cold will tell you that you don't function very well. You have a hard time thinking about anything except how cold you are.

Still, I have added a few paragraphs and sentences that address some of Elizabeth's concerns.

I have incased them in @paragraph@.

It isn't much, but I think it does give Lois back a little of her personality.
