ravens on ice

video ; 7th transformation

Did you know we have an ice rink?

[ Because there is one! And Raven pans the camera around to see: yes, ice, places to sit around the ice, everything.

When she refocuses it on her, it's apparent that she looks slightly different from usual. She has dark hair, for one. And, for another, her skin is a subtle shade of green. ]

I didn't!

It's in the annexe.

Someone come skate with me.

Where in the annex?

[ She gives directions to the specific room. Since she's in here, the door should be open, and she'll be making circles around the center of the rink. ]

[Arthas ... trudges in. Warily.]

....Hi.

Hi!

[ She glides in a half-circle, eliminating most of her momentum, and studies the newcomer. She doesn't know him. ]

...what's your name?

Arthas. King of Lordaeron and Northrend.

[He pokes through the skate lockers, comparing them to his boots for size.]

I've never been there.

[ She says it a little airily, trying to compensate for the fact that she's wondering if she should know what he's talking about. ]

It's probably not on your world.

[Considering you're wearing pajamas around like all the other Earth people.

Skates found, he discards his boots and cape and sits down to lace them on.]

That would make sense.

I'm Raven.

Hi. Warden?

[He stands and wobbles a little, then frowns. Maybe it's been too long, and he shouldn't be doing this. He picks his way over to the ice anyway and immediately has to grab the railing to keep from falling over.]

Son of a bitch!

[He glares at the ice like it's personally offended him.]

Yes.

I can pull you, if you want? It's easier to stay balanced when you're moving.

[ She offers a hand. ]

[He looks at her somewhat skeptically. Normal-looking lady and him in all of his armor - if he falls he'll just take her with him.]

Can you?

I'm stronger than I look.

[ And it's easy to pull someone on ice anyway - there's not much resistance. ]

[Arthas doesn't change his expression, but offers her one hand. The other stays clamped on the railing.]

You have to let go a little.

C'mon, we'll stay next to the railing. [ She pulls, gently, a slow acceleration. He's a lot heavier than her, but they don't need to go fast. ]

Point your feet a little bit outward, like this. Like you're taking steps.

[Arthas sighs and let's go of the wall, then immediately wobbles and curses again.]

Careful.

Bend your knees a little? Keep your balance low, and you'll be more steady.

[Arthas glares but tries it; it does indeed seem to work slightly better, not that he'll be doing figure-eights any time soon.]

If I fall I'm taking you with me.

[More of an observation than a threat.]

I crashed in a plane once. Falling on the ice isn't so bad.

[ She shoots him a grin, switches around so she's next to him. ]

Imitate how I do step - like this.

If I had my magic, this wouldn't be a problem. [Grumble grumble.

As soon as she moves, he grabs the rail again. He knows how not to fall down, and it's holding on to the wall.

He does as she shows him, though, albeit slowly so he doesn't need to let go.]

I can't help you with that. But I can imagine how hard it would be to go without something that's a part of me, like my power.

[ She's never had to go without it, except for that one little flood where they ended up on the planet's surface. ]

You're doing really good!

Don't condescend to me.

[Until he can do this without help, it's not good.]

Who had the idea to put blades on shoes to move over ice anyway?

I'm not. You should have seen how many times Charles fell flat on his face when he first tried.

[ She giggles, at the memory. ]

I don't know. It's used for a lot of sports now, though. Hockey. Figure skating, and ice dancing.

We have them where I'm from, but usually there are more practical ways.

Maybe it was a way to move fast along a river, when it was frozen over.

I have boots with spikes on them. They walk on ice.
