I can imagine. Rather, if it's possible - I'd like to avoid that, as well.

Still, I do have a rather skilled teacher. [ Even if she's not confident in learning quickly, she's confident in Mikleo as a teacher... ]

[tsunergy]

You're being over-generous. I only just started learning myself, you know.

[Alisha, please. He can only take so much praise in one day, he's not Edna.]

[aspearing]

While that's true, it seemed as though you've known how to ice skate for years, Lord Mikleo.

[tsunergy]

Ice and I just happen to get along. It's nothing special.

[he has artes dancing around him in the heat of battle. if he couldn't move over the surface on just a normal day... well, that's just embarrassing.]

[aspearing]

I cannot help but disagree, but... I suppose this is what it means to be in your element.

[ Though, on that topic... ]

Is there anything else I should keep in mind while I'm on the ice?

[tsunergy]

Hmm... I guess, be mindful of the people around you? It's a little easier for you, since the other skaters can actually see you, but you've still got the responsibility of avoiding a collision. Learning how to turn and weave, to be the master of the direction you're moving... and to stop, of course. And speaking of-

[Since he's guided her around a few times after refusing her before, and is satisfied with her progress, he moves to take her arm, carefully slowing them to a halt. Then he skates back around in front of her, moving in a slow circle.]

Watch my feet, see how I move them. It takes practice, so we'll go slowly.

[Cue demonstration! He shows her a couple of simple ways to slow and stop one's movement on the ice, as you do.]

[aspearing]

[ Watching other people... It might be hard if she loses her balance, but that makes her all the more determined to make sure she memorizes how Mikleo moves around the ice. ]

I see-- Like this? [ She tries to mimick the way that Mikleo moves - although, not before stumbling a just a little bit. She catches herself quickly. Really, all that fighting has helped her to move and react quickly. ]

... I suppose I should try more slowly.

[tsunergy]

[Mikleo chuckles quietly, offering his hand out to help her balance herself.]

Might be a wise idea. There's no rush, we have plenty of time.

[aspearing]

That's true, though I'd feel guilty for taking more of your time.

[tsunergy]

Oh, hardly. I was skating anyway, so now I'm just doing the same as I was before, just with company.

[aspearing]

[ Ah... It does seem like it's a little better with company, too. ]

... I see. Then, please, continue to teach me. I do feel like I'm catching on quickly thanks to your instructions.
