Silvano watched as Tony attempted to get closer to shore, but he was forced to pause in his horror as the boy was half in the icy water and half on the island of frozen water. "Tony! Don't move! Hold on!"The older boy realized his own mistake at pausing, hearing the ice begin to crack loudly beneath him, causing it to dip into the water. The water was freezing as it attempted to pull the ice in and subsequently got his feet wet. Silvano yelped at it and took off again, reaching the edge of this particular ice flow. Tony was close, so close, but there was still an expanse of freezing cold water to traverse. Time was ticking now, especially since the much younger pup was half submerged and the older boy had gotten his feet wet. They needed to get away from the ice and water, and to the fire of the manor.

The ice was thinner at the edge, where the older boy was standing and so he had to make a choice. And he took it. Silvano clamped his jaws tight together and leaped out into the water, already feeling it chilling him to the bone. Silvano was shivering as he swam toward his cousin, but he just kept his jaws clamped tight to keep from crying out at the temperature. It was a little more important that he get Tony. If he got sick.. well that would a problem; he would hide it from his mother, and put on a brave face. Savina did not need to have another child of hers ill, though he figured that one ill child was better than a frozen nephew.

"Almost there, Tony," he called out, his voice shaky as he shivered. Silvano reached the other boy. "I'm going to try to push you onto the ice, okay?" he asked, as he tucked his nose into the water, agony racing through his body at the cold as he pushed the younger boy up onto the ice flow. Now that the boy was on the ice, Silvano stuck his head on it, using his shoulders and chest to push it forward. God, it was so cold..
