Kyo's eyes widened again in confusion and slight fear as he started to understand what the girl was saying. He wasn't sure when this ice had appeared or why, but he really was stuck after all. Becoming more distressed now, especially when the freezing substance threatened to trap the younger child as well, he could only look on in distress as she eventually ran off presumably to get something to help, flinching a bit when he saw her fall on the ice. Without any better plans of his own, he tucked the tablet a little more securely under his arm and tried doing as she suggested until she returned. 

The projected tree also started to frost over without his control, beginning slowly and freezing faster as his panic started to build, until the whole thing was nothing more than an ice sculpture itself. 

Unfortunately, even though he tried his best to rub the cold trap away and pull himself free, it proved fruitless as the frost continued up his legs, forcing him to remove his hands to keep them from being caught and frostbitten as well. 

...Until the birds came. 

When they first appeared, the boy was quite shocked, especially when they swarmed around him with their wings moving as quickly as possible. Not fully understanding what was going on himself, he found it a bit alarming. Had they been much bigger, he might not have been able to handle being in the center of the group without having some way to escape. As they continued, however, he soon felt his legs start to loosen up. When the little girl returned and tried to pull him out again, he finally felt the ice give way and release one of his feet. 

Unfortunately for him, the combination of the pulling momentum with the slippery, wet ice and the flapping mass of birds caused him to lose his balance. Barely able to turn his body enough to avoid falling onto his young savior, he closed his eyes as his other leg slipped and he met the ice next to her. 

Behind him, the tree shattered soundlessly and disappeared.
