[ Vanessa is out checking on the rabbit snares that she's set up when she catches sight of Clara ice-skating. She steps back behind a tree so that she can peek around, not wanting to interrupt the other woman's peaceful solitude, but not in a hurry to look away, either. She's never been able to help herself whenever someone catches her interest.
It's a strangely beautiful sight, almost calming, and she's quiet while appreciating the picturesque image Clara makes when she loops around the lake. Perhaps not the most graceful skater, but Vanessa doesn't have many to compare to. She's never been skating.
Seeing her fall sends Vanessa into a mild panic, though, as all she can suddenly recall is the not-so-long-ago image of Clara dropping out of sight into the watery depths of the sea. She drops her rabbit hide and races over to the edge of the lake, nearly slipping when she reaches the end of the snowbank. Vanessa anxiously paces along the edge when she sees that Clara hasn't actually fallen through the ice.
She's a bit nervous at the idea of crossing the ice, but she's considering it. As close as this, Vanessa doesn't need to use her eyes to tell that something dangerous lurks below. She keeps her gaze on Clara. ]

Miss Oswald, are you all right?
