Once A'tay removed the blade Zelly stood up and wobbled ever so slightly. She'd been so used to trying to correct her balance n the blades that she was overcompensating for just standing up on her own two feet. It was silly. It hadn't been that long, she shouldn't have forgotten how to stand normally! It seemed to be just another charm of the skating experience though, at least from what A'tay said. Getting her land legs back was much faster than the other way around though and she looped her arm around her boyfriend's as they made their way back to Xyxyth.
Zelana laughed at the stories about of playing in the snow with his brother, building snowmen and turning it into a race. She asked for more stories as they went, eager to hear about the possibilities and everything he'd already done. Her once boring boy had hidden all of this secret wintry knowledge all this time! She caught the ball he tossed at her, giving it a small press with her own hands to see how squishy it felt without completely deforming it.
"So, you make these and then throw them..." her voice trailed off as she eyed A'tay and she threw it at him, laughing as it splatted across his jacket. "Okay, I can see how that would be fun, but we can build something instead. I'm surprised that I managed to hit you at all." Zelly wasn't the most coordinated when it came to tossing things, and she was sure anyone would be able to handily beat her if she tried to start a snow fight. She considered the options he'd already mentioned, forts and snowmen. A fort could be fun to snuggle in, but would probably be too cold to get up to any real fun. "What about a snow dragon? Or we could make some giant snow versions of your chess pieces?"
She grinned at that idea, having only recently completed an acceptable looking pawn after multiple failures. It wasn't the most entertaining way to spend time, but it was nice to occasionally just quietly sit next to A'tay and try to copy what he was doing, and was especially good for days when the weather was too poor to go outside. "You already carve them out of wood, so they should be easier to do in snow right? And maybe it'll help get better too for the next one I try."
