[ When intense cold sinks its teeth into flesh, a slow and painful death is unavoidable. Brutally cold, his body shuts down forcing him into a catatonic state. No longer generating ice, his temperature stops dropping giving his natural resistance time to regulate his temperature. Built for extreme temperatures, Shouto is in no danger of losing his life, but he makes an all too easy target which is why he tries not to push himself to this limit in battle.
Having seen the aftermath of its birth, they had no choice but to stop it before it reached another populated area. Knowing that Allen could stop it, his choice was simple - support him till he couldn't. He's glad he lasted to the end. Once he realized they'd defeated it, he could let go, allowing his body's natural recourse to take over.
Chest rising from shallow breaths, he has no response to Allen's friendly chide, nor does he protest being maneuvered onto his back like a puppet on strings. The fact that Kizu isn't out snarling at him means he's okay with it. For now, Shouto probably feels like a plank of ice on his back, yet he doesn't shiver. His natural resistance to the cold starts to stabilize his temperature, stealing it away from Allen's warm back.
Ten minutes into their trudge through the snow, Allen will feel his temperature start to rise fairly quickly. Quirk activated, Shouto warms them both even if he still can't move, exhausted from his overexertion. This, at least, he can offer him until he gets warm enough to get his limbs moving again. ]
