[ folds his arms ] So do I.

[nostradamus]

Then come with me. [she inclines her head toward the cubby where the skates are kept.] I need an exercise partner. In return, I'll teach you a new trick.

[foreverphantom]

[ goes. but folds his arms ]

How do you know I don't already know whatever this little trick of yours is?

[nostradamus]

[stretching a little before slapping on her skates, but she spares him a glance with a raised eyebrow.]

How do you know you do?

[foreverphantom]

I guess we'll find out, won't we.

[ does not stretch before putting on his skates, because he's better than that ]

[nostradamus]

So we will.

[well, that's between him and his muscles later? she skates out toward the middle of the rink.]

Show me what you've got. I'll decide what to teach you then.

[foreverphantom]

[ he hesitates for a moment--but then confidently steps onto the ice

and then wobbles a little. it takes him a few awkward strides before he manages to skate the rest of the way in pretty decent, balanced fashion.

right. he has to show 'what he's got.' so...i guess he just starts doing rounds around the rink, increasingly picking up speed. that's it. he just Goes Fast in simple circles. ]

[nostradamus]

[she watches him kin sonic for a little bit, tilting her head.]

... That's all?

[foreverphantom]

[ stops himself by way of skating into the barrier, trying to make it look somewhat dignified (it does not). then he turns around to face her. ]

Like you're an Olympic figure skater?

[nostradamus]

You talked big game before. Can't you try a spin?

[foreverphantom]

[ glares at her but yeah okay he'll try it.

...and i got a 9, so it's less of a spin, and more of a very wobbly tight circle. but he technically! didn't fall! ]

[nostradamus]

[slowly raises her eyebrows at him. hm.]

Do you know any tricks at all?

[foreverphantom]

Well let's see some of yours, then!

[nostradamus]

Fine. Then keep your eyes on me.

[she rolls her eyes and, unfortunately, this kind of shit is in her wheelhouse so she goes ahead and does a proper spin.

first with both feet on the ice, before she lifts one up at the knee and keeps spinning one footed. wahoo.]

[foreverphantom]

[ HEY, NO FAIR!!!! he tries very hard to look unimpressed. ]

I thought your profile said you were some mega-destructive spine ripper, not a figure skater.

[nostradamus]

I can be both.

[foreverphantom]

Why.

[nostradamus]

Why not?

[foreverphantom]

Spine ripping and figure skating don't exactly go hand in hand.

[nostradamus]

Sounds like you're limiting yourself then. You can be beautiful and fearsome, you know.

[foreverphantom]

I'm not interested in beautiful.

[nostradamus]

I was talking about myself.
