[ Can't he just...hex some warmth into himself or something, that's how magic works, right? Maybe set himself on fire. Or better idea, Frederick could find some wood, set that on fire, and then both of them can be toasty warm without needing to resort to third-degree burns.
But first!
He shucks off his coat and kneels down to try and wrap it around Henry's shoulders, lest the mage literally freeze to death in the next five minutes. The sudden chill is enough to make him grimace, but better he suffer temporarily than watch Henry die permanently. ]
Preparation, of course. One must always research the destination before departing on the journey.
[ Except he didn't think to pack extras for a second person just in case, so clearly he's losing his touch.
The coat's a good first start but Henry's fingers are looking awful pale against the snow, even moreso than usual, and so Frederick decides it's time to implement Step 2 of his (probably) 10 part recovery process. Digging his heels into the snow, he shoves both arms under Henry's firmly balled-up body and, with a muttered I do beg your pardon, lifts him up until he's being princess carried in Frederick's arms.

Now, time to find someplace to take shelter. ]
