[He'd be glad to know that his presence is cause for that much ease, on one hand. On the other, he sure won't be very reassuring if they both end up falling through the ice...
To that end, he's doing his best to keep his weight evenly distributed across the surface of the ice. Minimizing cracks and splinters is the best that can be done, and every time he hears the ice groan beneath them, he freezes up and holds his breath. But he'll continue to keep his hands steady, one there to support Ada and one feeling its way across the ice. He takes his time (relatively speaking) in leaving the center of the lake and getting closer and closer to the side, until it wouldn't even matter much if the ice did break because the water isn't deep enough to drown in.
Though they aren't quite at the shore yet, that's about the point he loses some of his tension. Sighing and looking back toward Ada:]
Are you doing all right? Can you still feel your fingers and toes? [Half-joking, half vERY CONCERNED.]
