At least they all made it across. That was about all that could be said about their crossing of the chasm: not only did Loren start the chain reaction to begin with, he also bore the brunt of it. As an icicle pierced his side, and sent him careening into a crash against one of the cave wall, he barely held back a honk of pain.
Somehow, he landed. Shifting back to human, he healed himself, then held out a hand for Kiada. Let me heal you. Whether or not she accepted, he would shift back into the form of a honey badger before the cold got too bad. Then he would pad cautiously forward, alert for any sign of what was making the sounds up ahead.
Loren heals himself and offers to heal Kiada, then shifts into a honey badger and continues on.

where I travel goes my heart
with me wanders my desire
