Neither am I. Freyja taught me on the Selvin system. I was making progress, but I ended up falling into a snowbank when she distracted me. [She won't disclose the reason unless he asks. It's a touch embarrassing.]
The skates are this way. [With a grin, Kaname heads over to change into a pair.]
[He's come by here a time or two, but it was a lot of flailing around. He can at least stay upright now, and figured out how to move forward. He will never make a career of it.
He gets his skates and switches them out with his boots.]
Well, I'll try not to distract you into falling. No snowbanks here.
[Now he has to reverse his scoot so he's going forward! He's not sure if holding her hand is helping with balance or making it more difficult. But he likes holding her hand, so it doesn't matter.
There's a second or two where he lurches and feels like he might fall. He tells himself to let go so he doesn't drag he down with him, but instinct does the opposite and he grips her hand a little harder.]
That's sweet. [She makes her way to the opposite side of the rink to grab the wall. With a grin, she turns and holds her hand out for him to skate towards.]
Then let's avoid giving you more bruises. I'd feel bad if you got some today.
[He scoots his way across the side to where she's waiting, latching onto her hand once he's close enough. Even so, he doesn't stop until his other hands grapples for the wall.]
Nah, I'm used to it. But it would be nice to avoid them for a change!
[Taking is with one hand, she guides herself backwards with the one on the ledge until she's a decent distance away from him. She aims, then calls to him.]
[With a laugh, Kaname takes one of his weird shuffle before lowering the camera to smile warmly at him. When he reaches her, she hands the camera back so she can wrap an arm around his middle to pull him into a hug.]
[He makes sure the camera is secure before hugging her back with one arm, the other bracing against the wall. It would just really suck to go down and take her with him.]
I did say we're going to fill up as much of the album as we can. I've got more in mind, if you're game. [A quick kiss on his cheek is all he gets before Kaname moves to skate some more.]

So when they arrive at the ice skating rink, he's not disappointed. Though...] I feel I should warn you I'm not great on skates.

Yes, but there are walls for me to hold if it comes to that. Besides, my focus is on you anyway.
[Kaname winks at him and takes a step out into the rink.]
no subject
[He wobbles on his skates, but makes it to the ice. And then onto the ice, where he immediately starts to drift away from the wall.]
Whoops. Let me, um... I'm coming back!
[Using some scooting action, he tries to goes backwards to rejoin Kaname.]
no subject
[Soon, he'll feel her grabbing his hand as she slides up beside him, laughing as she tries to keep upright as well.]
Come on. [Moving forward, Kaname squeezes his hand.]

no subject
[When he's angling back, Kaname pulls him forward in reply, moving to grip his wrist with both her hands.]
Nuh-uh! Too soon for either of us to fall yet.
no subject
[He gets more of a slide than a shuffle going as they move, and he finds it's a little easier to stay upright with a bit more movement and speed.]
no subject
[Even when saying that, Kaname stumbles slightly, but manages to correct her posture easily enough, though she has to release his hand to do so.]
Besides, I've heard it builds character.
no subject
[He's caught her twice already. And okay, the first time was more of a not-so-controlled tumble, but it's the thought that counts!]
Builds bruises, more like.

[Kaname slowly lets go of the wall to reply on his grip for support as she holds out her other hand.]
And we're supposed to be taking pictures. Camera, please.
no subject
[Pictures! Right! He brings his camera out, flicks it on, and carefully hands it over to Kaname.]
no subject
Strike a pose!
[She waits a few moments before snapping a shot.]

Hey, come back over here now.
no subject
Aw, man. Okay. Hold on.
[He does his skate-shuffle back to her. It goes a bit easier with the wall for support.]
no subject
Hi.

[He makes sure the camera is secure before hugging her back with one arm, the other bracing against the wall. It would just really suck to go down and take her with him.]
Thanks for all this.

There's more?
no subject
Once around the rink without stopping!
no subject
[He fondly rolls his eyes and attempts to follow.]
Does falling count as stopping?
