“Wow,” Indivara stood at the edge of the pond with her gloved hand still holding R’vi’s as she stared out at the people gliding across the ice with strange boots on. She tilted her head, wondering how they had managed to do that, and looked up to flash a smile at V’ler when he joined them. “What’re they doing?” She asked, completely naive to the activity or the word for it. She’d never so much as dreamed of something like gliding on the top of ice; not surprisingly, considered she’d never really seen ice until that moment. Definitely not in such a large amount! It wasn’t like Katila ever froze, and she much preferred not exploring Telgar when it was white. Besides, the Weyr Lake was too big to actually freeze… right?
“What do they have on their feet?” She asked, glancing at V’ler for the answer, eyebrows raised before she looked down at her own feet, which were warm and snug in her riding boots, which definitely didn’t look like what the folks on the lake were wearing. “Can we do that?” She asked, freeing her hand from R’vi’s to point out at the lake top and stare beseechingly up at V’ler. She was oblivious to how out of character she might seem to R’vi. V’ler didn’t call her names or tease her when she asked questions, so she’d taken to asking him more over the Turns, and certainly felt safe and comfortable enough doing so that she forgot about her other friend, with whom she was generally more comfortable pretending she knew everything.
… INDIVARA Venseth’s sudden screech was so loud, several Holdfolk fell over on the ice and the surrounding area, as the blue dragon went sliding across the lake, his eyes wide and whirling in a rainbow of shocked colours. Indivara stared, her jaw slack, as the blue dragon lost his footing and landed on his stomach, legs extended to each side as he swirled in a slow circle, wriggling and struggling to stand up. Indivara blinked, looking shocked.
“What in the world?!” She demanded, not sure whom she was making the demand of. “Venseth! What are you doing!?”
We were playing and then the snow stopped… and here I am. The blue dragon sighed, apologising as he knocked over a skater and sent them sprawling on the ice as he drifted past. My feet won’t work, he added, sounding embarrassed, as he continued to struggle to get his limbs under himself so that he could stand up. Help?
