With a little more effort Kat smashed the surrounding snow so that Minor and her could sit up again. It was still a bit cramped but they were both thankful for the space. Minor even had to spit out a mouthful of snow.
"Thanks" said Minor with a scratchy voice.
"Are you alright?" asked Kat
Minor coughed once more and placed her hand on her throat. As she rubbed it Kat could see slight crystalline cracks running along her neck and inching onto Minor's face. Kat's eyes went wide, but when Minor noticed this she waved a dismissive hand at Kat
"Don't worry I'm fine. I just had to prevent us from actually getting crushed. I made it so the space shrunk instead of collapse and it might have been a bit more taxing than I'd suspected" said Minor
"You're breaking into pieces again!" hissed Kat "I can handle myself if I really need to, and I'm tough enough to survive a fall"
"Yeah but what about getting hit by that club" rasped Minor "I can help"
