He could still feel it, biting through his wet clothes, but he continued to drag himself onto the shore of the lake.
He can't help but shiver, disorientated, not knowing where he is, other than the cold pressure of the water was gone. He sucks in shuddering breaths, wincing at the fact that it was... warm. He's had his eyes screwed shut since breaking through the ice, and he finally opens them.
His vision's fuzzy, but he can clearly tell that he's not on the lakeside any more.
"...Roxy." He grunts out, voice rough, ragged, affected by the shivering. He starts pushing himself up...
...Bad idea.
"Roxy...!" He manages to get out, again, a bit louder, his vision clearing somewhat, but still fuzzy, like he was drunk. He stumbles, grabbing ahold of a nearby table, luckily empty. He shoves his wet hair to the side, the shivering stopping.
"Roxy! Where... Where are...?" She was safe, right? Ronnie got to her. He got her free of the pond weed and Ronnie... She has to be safe...
Then where is she?!
Someone reaches out to grab him, and he lashes back, voice raising.
