Life isn't always what you think it'd be

The russet male followed Eirnan as she lead the way to an icy pillar, feeling an uncomfortable feeling settle into the pit of his stomach as she began to climb. He could not protect her up there, but he could catch her if she fell at least. Neck craned backwards to watch her carefully, Caedmon stood at the edge of the lake, ears pulled back slightly to show his displeasure at the events happening. When she spoke of multiple water sources Caedmon would have normally been overjoyed at the news, but as of that moment he was far more worried for her safety. "We can go investigate," he said with a quick glance in the direction she was looking at. But first, she needed to get off that ice pillar without falling.
Caedmon heard his brother call out, asking how far away it was, and turned to look at him just in time to watch him slip, fall, and slide out onto the lake. Panic rose up in his body, hackles standing on edge as his head quickly snapped back and forth from Eirnan to Quinn multiple times in quick succession. Deciding Eirnan was in a safer position - he trusted her to be able to climb down safely enough - the russet male broke into a sprint toward where his brother was. He came to a sliding halt right at the edge of the lake, spraying flurries of snow onto the ice. Caedmon pawed nervously at the snow beneath him, hesitant to go out onto the ice to rescue his brother for fear that the ice would crack even more than it already had.
"Q, don't move!" He cried out in distress, not knowing what to do that would not make matters even worse. The russet male forced himself to take multiple deep breaths, trying to calm his mind enough to think clearly. Panicking would not help. The only course of action to take would be having Quinn make his way towards them, but with the ice cracking already, walking across the ice could just make it crack even more. He would need to spread his weight more evenly across the ice if he was going to make it. "Lie down on the ice and crawl towards me," Caedmon called out, resisting the urge to pace along the lake's edge. There was nothing he could do from his position to help his brother, but if Quinn got close enough to the edge the russet male could reach out and help pull him onto stable ground.
