The thought of having snow for months at a time was a sobering one, and Zelly took a moment to scan the frozen landscape again. It was still beautiful for the moment though and she smiled as she said, "Well at least it's easy enough to visit with Xy's help. There's probably not nearly enough time to swim here if it gets this cold in the winter."
That thought made Zelana eye a snow drift, wondering if she could somehow swim through the fluff. That could wait until after they went skating if they still had time, or even on their next visit up! She was already sure she wanted to see snow again. She smiled, bouncing up to give A'tay a quick kiss on the cheek when he confirmed he was going to be out skating with her. "You're so sweet. I'll try not to fall anyway, because I think ice is probably harder to land in than snow."
The blades were fascinating and she watched A'tay put them on intently. "So we're strapping... blades to my feet. Is it possible to cut the ice? Do people get cut? They don't look that sharp from here." Zelly was so excited it was hard to contain herself and all of her questions. She didn't even wait until A'tay had finished putting on his own blades before she tried standing up, wobbling for a moment and trying to take a cautious step before she sat back down.
"This is harder than I thought it would be," Zelly said with a laugh once A'tay was ready to help her up to make the treacherous trek towards the pond. Once she was on the slippery ice she tightened her grip on his arm and let out a surprised squeal as she tried to keep her feet from slipping away. At least she hadn't fallen down yet! Once he had them slowly moving she found it to be a bit easier to keep her balance, though she still shuffled the skates around a bit awkwardly. That didn't seem to bother her in the least though as she kept laughing and smiling. "This is fun! So how do I do this better? Let me see how your feet move a bit more."
