In the light men were crossing over lone shadows

Who: Namine and Open
When: Sunday February 12, afternoon
Where: A frozen Versaid Lake, Sector 6
Summary: Namine's been curious about some of the more simple winter sports. It's time to learn how to skate!
Warnings: N/A


She wasn't exactly sure why she was going to do this, aside from idle curiousity. But after hearing more than enough talk about winter sports at school, mostly complaints about skiing and the lack thereof of mountains to ski off of, and seeing a few channels on the TV featuring different kinds, she got a little too curious and too interested.

At least skating looked at seemed easy, especially for a rather inactive and non-physical person like her.

After on a bench on the side and putting on the skates she managed to rent from a hockey shop, Namine stared out onto the frozen lake. She was nervous of course, never having done this sort of thing before even on her own. But it wasn't like the kinds of sports they played at school, and she really did want to try some new things.

It just takes baby steps, like what she's doing on the skates to get to the edge of the frozen lake. Gotta keep trying new things.

The words weren't empty in the least; many were those who floundered by remaining set in their ways. It took courage to try something new, something out of one's bounds -- even if it was something so simple as deciding to ice skate.

She continued to smile as Namine slowly but surely released her hand. Good girl, being willing to stand on her own.

"A very lovely name. And you are quite welcome." After all, she could not in good conscience have just left her to falter on her own. "If you would not object to my continued presence, I could teach you the basics of skating."

Nevermind that she currently wore no skates herself. She could still offer instruction.
