[ Duo is unfortunately used to so much worse - this isn't terrible other than the cold, but eventually his body begins to numb up, flexing his toes hurts but he keeps doing it, along with his fingers, every so often. It won't help his blood flow, not through hypothermia which he's heard about enough in his cautionary medical training to know it's probably what these shamans are trying to achieve.
In a way it's smart, but on another.. hypothermia made a mind confused and difficult, and any confessions they might received would probably be contrived to gain mercy for themselves.
Which.. they'd get their answers, just not ones that could actually be considered trustworthy.
A bit fool-hardy in his annoyance at being so damn cold that his physical shivering is obvious to the eye, Duo meets that threatening torch wave with a hard stare, resisting a smirk spreading across his face as those long bangs begin to freeze in place. That move, of course, does not sit well with a torturer who wants fear, and he presses the torch closer to Duo's bare arms, letting the flames lick and begin to burn. For a moment Duo barely feels it and thanks his lucky stars they tried to freeze them first, but eventually that comes to an end. Of course.
His jaw sets, a heavy breath sneaking through his nose, but he doesn't break just yet, watching the man in front of him just as intensely as he's being stared down.
- Which eventually earns him reprieve with a laugh and some declaration how he will be 'fun' to break. Duo moves to roll and press the burn to the ice, knowing it won't do much more than numb it for a short period of time. ]
Hard headed bu-unch of bastards, t-the lot of you.
