"I don't believe so. Certainly nothing that seemed like it could cause this," he said, feeling some growing nervousness watching her move his hand. He still wasn't sure what caused the ice to appear. Almost instinctively, he pulled his hand away. The consequence of the action was immediate as ice again flew from his hand in an arc that followed his hand's movement.
"My - my apologies, I didn't mean to -" he trailed off, staring at what he'd done in horror. The doubt creeping in again, slowly but surely. Had that been aimed at Regina - and what of Roland? He would not know to be careful. What he could do to him -
He stepped back from her and the soft touch of her hand on his cheek, and this time the ice didn't stop around the steps he was making. It spread along the floor, covering the ground beneath even her feet and perhaps even underneath the door some. An unnatural wind began to whip up in a room that shouldn't have any at all, slow at first, but getting worse as the seconds ticked by. Flurries of snow started to mix with it, and he watched as they whipped around him, almost like he was the center of the storm.
"Regina, please, go to Roland. Make sure he understands he cannot come in here under any circumstances," he said, trying to take a deep breath to calm himself down. The intensity of the wind seemed to die down as he focused on not panicking, but the amount of effort it took to manage even that felt like an uphill battle.
Perhaps knowing Roland wouldn't accidentally walk in would help some in being able to focus on Regina's help. For now, it felt something close to a miracle things weren't getting worse.
