The next morning, at breakfast, Kristoff looked far more tired than usual. The atmosphere was slightly awkward and nobody really said anything. "Do you have work today, Kristoff?" Elsa asked the ice harvester, who nodded. "You don't look like you're up to go today." The Queen meant well, but Kristoff excused himself from the room as he left to go get ready for work. Outside, in the courtyard, the sisters waved "Goodbye" as Sven walked away after he was hitched up to the sled. They looked at each other, concerned about their friend. Anna played with the children as the hours passed by. When Anna was about to go into the castle, she saw the ice harvesters hurrying down the mountain. "Princess!" one of the harvesters called.
"What happened?" she asked, going up to them. She saw that Kristoff was shivering in the back of his sled and called the guards. The guards took Kristoff to the castle doctor and Elsa hurried outside when she saw the harvesters. "What happened to Kristoff?" the Queen asked.
"Kristoff fell under thin ice. The wind blew one of our hats and he offered to get it back. He walked over to a thin patch of ice and was pefectly fine heading over there. When he started to come back, the ice cracked and he fell under. We got him out before he could drown, thank goodness. We knew that we either had to come to the castle or go somewhere else. We came here. The boss told us to tell him to stay here and get some rest because he was way too tired during the harvesting," one of Kristoff's workmates said. Anna thanked them and the sisters hurried into the castle. Kristoff was put into his bed with many blankets on top of him to keep him warm. He was shivering badly and Anna buried her face into Elsa's shoulder. Elsa held her sister close to her as the doctor worked on Kristoff.
