He took off his shoes and then unhooked the armor on his shin followed by the plate on his thigh. He flipped it over to see the inside of the plate frozen solid with ice. His leggings under the armor had been frozen and stuck to his skin. He looked up and spoke, "Can you help me cut this part off with your knife? I think its frozen into my skin."
One of the crystal pieces on shattering must have made its way inside and expanded, freezing everything it had come in contact with. He didn't even want to think what would have happened if one had hit them directly.

She shivered at the though, "um... o-ok... how do I do that... I don't wanna cut your leg or anything..."

He put the plate down and held the leggings up around the frozen section.
"Cut along the border of the section keeping your blade parallel to my skin." He thought he sounded like a surgeon.

"guh... ok." she nodded, not liking the idea, but doing it anyway, cutting around the ice.

He let go of the leggings as she finished and nodded at her.
"Ok now, pull the frozen part out. Um, it would be better if you could do it at one go."

SHe just flinched at the idea, wondering WHY she wanted to help again.
Then she grabbed onto the ice, closed her eyes, and pulled hard.

He clenched his teeth harder and fell on his back as she pulled it out, taking the skin with it.
He got his breathing back under control and got up. "Thank you..."
"Can I borrow your knife?", he asked her extending his hand at her.

She quickly dropped the ice and handed her knife to him, looking away after that, not wanting to see.

He looked up at her as she turned. He charged the knife in his hand and stuck in the frozen side of the the plate. As the ice melted, he kept the plate down. Taking a few deep breaths, he touched the broken section of his leg with the flat of the knife. He closed his eyes as his skin burned lightly and fused, eliminating any chance of infection later.
He flipped the knife in his hand, the pain subsiding, tapped her shoulder with the hilt. "Thank you again. I am done".

"ok..." she nodded and took the knife, putting it away before standing up again.

He quickly put on the armor again and got up. "Lets go." It didn't hurt to walk anymore. He could move a bit faster now and without any support.
"Are you familiar with this area?"

"not really. I haven't done any traveling for many years now. I just walked with the other troops here."

"I have been traveling for the last few years but never came to this area."
As he moved around a tree, an arrow zipped through the leaves and struck the tree behind his head. He spun around in the direction it had come from, his shield already in front of him, ready to cover Cardea and himself.

"This is just the start. We will have to move faster. These archers wont be alone." They obviously had some soldiers with them that must be trying to flank them.
