The fall was loud enough to echo through the narrow chasm, carrying far down the dark ice tunnel until it reached Lindsey some ways down from it. He heard the shout and the curse, and feeling wary but curious, he decided to make his way to its source.

Some minutes later found him looking from a distance at a rumpled heap. He was wary of approaching though, the person had a harpoon at their side. They were moving, but several more minutes in and he saw they weren't getting up. Moving in a bit closer and he noted that the person was a she, and she had a broken leg.

That instantly boosted his confidence.

Walking in the rest of the way, he smiled at her like any passing traveler would with another. "Can you fall a bit louder? I don't think the they heard you down at the end."
