Everything comes easy to you, huh?

[Kaidan teased, though his tone wasn't quite as bitter as the words themselves. It was just a good way to distract himself from overthinking this. He stepped onto the ice, gliding but guiding himself far more obviously along the wall. It seems to go well enough except for one errant slip of his leg that almost makes him falls, but he scrambles to right himself, ending up wobbling in front of Shepard with a raspy laugh.]

One small step for man...

[dreamofakuze]

It's part of my charm.

[That teasing falters into concern as Kaiden himself does and Shepard's quick to shoot a hand out to catch under the other man's arm, even as the major seems to catch himself.]

One massive slip for the rest of us.

Got it?

[Instinctively, Kaidan steadies himself with Shepard's arm, feet sliding akimbo for a few seconds before he finds his center of balance. He glances somewhat sheepishly at the hand on his arm - so alien in that it's not a hand he's familiar with still Shepard. It's still the hand that, in another time and place, had picked him up when he'd fallen time and time again and in some way this wasn't all that different.

And yet it was.

He glanced up, smirking]

Yeah...thanks...I think so. It would probably help if we kept moving.

[dreamofakuze]

Probably.

[He pulled away once Kaiden found his footing and moved away from the wall to circle behind and then skate beside the other man.]

Just like riding a bike.

[His lips twitched up at the corners.]

Except I never actually learned how to ride a bike.

[Never really had the chance, all things considered. By the time he could, there wasn't a reason to; who needed a bike in space?

He kept pace with Kaiden, not necessarily hovering, but watchful in case he slipped again. He was nothing if not just a touch too protective. Especially if the person was someone important to him.]
