He heeded her advice and continued to move towards her with short steps, carefully placing each paw on the potentially-slick surface and watching where he was going.

He finally reached her as she asked about the state of this particular area in the warmer months. "You know, I don't think I actually came down here at all during the summer," he said, "but it was definitely pretty wet." He had glimpsed it from the ridge of the plateau a handful of times; he glanced up there now, but was too late to spot Tegan and Bat, if they had been there moments before.
