And everyone who knows us knows
Who: Mantis et (everyone
He takes a breather to look up at the many multi-colored windows that are scattered throughout the shopping area. It's such a simple and effective means of adding some personality and life to an otherwise ordinary building. Sweeping footsteps carry him in slow circles through the different colors shining onto the ground, and he can even be heard humming quietly to himself.
Passerby who happen to catch his attention will hear a surprised noise followed swiftly by a calm wave. He's in a better mood than usual.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's not completely graceful, but Mantis is gaining just the slightest bit of confidence on the ice. His arms hang more at his sides as he moves along the edges of the ice skating rink, but not so much that he can't quickly swing them about if his feet give out from under him. He's muttering to himself as he goes along, too, mostly about when to take the curves on either end.
His feet slide out experimentally as he turns to complete a lap, letting him glide more than he steps. Nothing one can win a gold medal on, but he laughs a little with each successful bit of gliding and lifts his head a little higher. Now if only he could figure out how not to completely wipe out when trying to go backwards...
Anyone passing by the rink will get a quick wave as he comes by. Practice will not be stalled much, no matter how much he likes the person on the other side of the panels separating actual floor and ice.
Broadcast: Yee
Action: Iskaulit, Planetside
When: Earlier in the afternoon
A. Planetside
Tedious as it is, a man needs clothes that aren't mass produced and cheap, and that means a lot of shopping. He has a fair number of bags hanging off his shoulders or his elbows, but he hardly seems to notice the weight of them at all. In fact, a couple may seem to bob a bit even as he stands still.

"Not nearly as heavy as it looks. I'll be fine." He looks up again at the windows. "I like it best when people just call me 'Mantis'. This planet treats everyone well, doesn't it, Kaidan?"

"Yeah...better than most we've been to so far, I think, but I think their planet relies a lot on tourism. It helps if you're friendly to visitors."

"The snow is a kind of marshmallow. I would be clamoring for international attention, too." He laughs quietly. "The shopping is also relaxing. Nothing has tried to eat me or destroy most of my wardrobe."
