Kinda, yeah! That ice looks pretty hard...

[Even with a head as hard as a SOLDIER's, it'd hurt to bonk it.

He can't help sticking close to the edge, grasping at the encircling fence for balance.]

You're sure taking to it.

[asphodels]

I'm being brave! You're not going to learn staying on the edge.

[ She moves closer, a little wobbly, but holds out both her hands for him. ]

Let's try together.

[wingenvy]

Awww.

[BUT STABILITY. He relents though, wobbling his way into the space between the wall and Aerith, letting her balance him instead.]

Y'know? I think it's because I'm unarmed. I'm not used to being on bad terrain without the Buster on my back!

[Sure Zack, blame the sword.]

[asphodels]

[ She does her best to balance the two of them together, even if it does make them a little rocky. ]

You think you need your sword on to skate?

[wingenvy]

[Her wobbling doesn't go unnoticed by him, so he redoubles his efforts to stay upright, focusing hard on keeping his balance. He doesn't want to drag her down with him.]

We-ell...okay, maybe that's a stretch. But I'm more used to wearing it than not!

[asphodels]

[ They're balancing together, which is more than enough for her, delighted just to be holding on to him. ]

You can't take a sword everywhere. You should get used to it this way, too.

[wingenvy]

[But he loves taking his sword everywhere :(]

Oof, if I have to. It just took so long to get back!
