"I think I'd be happier staying next to this fire for the rest of my life," Lazerat grumbled though he was smiling. He'd been having a good time in the snow and he was curious about the skating he'd only heard about but couldn't quite imagine. Did the whole thing freeze? Would he fall through? It was so weird and he had to know more!
But it was also cold and Lazerat made sure he was properly bundled back up again while his sister babbled about how it was done and did her best to answer his questions. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as they headed back out, taking a moment to enjoy how beautiful the scenery was. It was so different to their usual sight of beach and water but just as alluring.
He followed Zelly's directions for tying the blades on but frowned at them once finished. These were supposed to support him? Clearly they did from what he could see of other people gliding on the ice. Maybe it was like rock climbing. You just had to find the right footing and trust your balance. His balance was something that was lacking when he stood, wobbling about with his arms flailing to catch himself. Once he did, Lazerat laughed and took cautious steps to the ice.
He stepped sideways onto the ice, somehow staying upright though his initial testing of the ice showed how slippery it was. "I'm not sure how much I trust you, Zelly Bean. You're devious enough to push me and watch me sail away forever. Or until I hit land and fall." Her idea of stopping in that manner loomed over him and Lazerat suspected falling on any surface would be how he stopped for a while.
