Well. As someone from "Medieval times", I'm going to offer some advice.

First: any food and drink that can spoil, and won't fit in one of the root cellars, put it outside so the cold can care for it. I would suggest hanging it from a second-story window in a basket so that animals can't get to it so easily.

Second: I don't know how many good candles are in the village, but we should all learn to make rush lights. They're not enough to read by, but they'll keep you from hitting your shins in the evening. We'll have to go back with rising and setting with the sun until we can resolve this.

Third: Layers. Wear sweaters, cloaks, capes. We'll have to gather firewood to make up for any shortfall. If you live alone... find someone to stay with. I know it can seem salacious to people used to at-will winter heating, but if you're comfortable with sharing a bed with someone, it does save a lot on firewood and blankets.

Finally... if you're excessively cold for a long time, and you start feeling confused, forgetful, or much too clumsy, find someone right away to help you get warm. Those are signs of hypothermia. And if you find someone in such a state, don't let them fall asleep.

[ For what it's worth, "familiars" is pretty close.

But... how to explain them more precisely...? ]

They're my friends.

[ They're not, but! His Personas are helpful in battle, so that almost meets the standard of friend for him. ]

I can summon them to help us.

Oh! So it's a form of magic? [She wonders if it's anything like the kind that Kotone and Shinjiro have spoken of--but she also knows from them that their particular kind can be terribly dangerous to control.] What can they do? I'm guessing that they might glow, as other magic spells do?

[because when you think about it. she can't think of any type of magic she's seen that DOESN'T.]

[ Whoa, how did she --

Yep, they sure do glow. Or at least Unicorn can glow. And luckily enough, Minato's set of Persona are a little less dangerous in comparison.

They're much smaller, too... ]

Magic, yeah. Um... Orpheus doesn't glow when he uses magic though. But he can generate fire, so that's some extra light?

Light and heat--that can be very helpful. Especially since a lot of people here never learned how to make fire from scratch.

I only know a very little about summoning, since it's not a type of magic that my world developed. [At least, not to her knowledge. She doesn't know that she'll eventually have a semi-niece who can summon the echo of a god-dragon.] It doesn't cause you undue strain, does it?

[ "A lot of people" says the lady on the other side of the charm. A lot of people, just like himself...

...she doesn't need to know that. Shh. ]

No. I'll be okay.

[ So long as he doesn't overextend himself. The benefit of turning up with less end-game Personas means they similarly consume less energy. Repeated summoning will, nevertheless, take a toll. ]

As long as I take breaks.

[ Which is something he doesn't really do. ]

Then make sure that you do, because if you exhaust yourself and have to take an extended break, you won't be able to help anyone during that time.

[She doesn't know you Minato but she is a protagonist's sister so SHE IS USED TO. CERTAIN TENDENCIES.]

[ Caught red-handed...... almost like blue hair isn't the only thing he shares in common with Ethlyn's big bro.

But she's made a good point, so Minato has no choice but to relent. ]

...you're right. I'll be careful.

[At least he's not accidentally creating an empires, so he's still one-up on Sigurd!]

I'm glad to hear it. I'm always happy to meet new people, but it's always preferable for it not to be from their ending up in my clinic as a patient right after they arrived here.

Are you a doctor...?

[ Who has two thumbs and brought some Personas with healing spells who could, maybe, help out at the clinic in the future? This guy right here. ]

Yes--well, I think of myself as a healer, but I manage the Willow Clinic as well as the local corps of emergency healers. [which is just. a couple of other people right now, tbh.] But I got my experience on a battlefield, so I know how to keep people alive against the odds.

[ "Healer" to him implies someone who treats injuries not necessarily through science, but through more mystical or magical means. ]

Oh. You have a lot of experience then.

[ Said as if he wasn't also out there trying to keep people alive on battlefields as well... ]

...Unicorn can heal too, if that helps.

[Oh. Oh!!]

You have healing abilities? I do run a small group of mobile healers here--very small right now--called the Arztenritter. Would you want to join us?

[you're gonna join them minato.]

[ In fact, he has four Personas that come with heals... And in any event, Minato is no Persona protagonist if he's not running around with at least three different jobs at all times -- ]

Mhm. I'll join.
