Her boyfriend and her, they've gotten good enough they can go it alone, I can practice my skating. I've got a long ways to go. It's funny, when you first learn to skate your preoccupation is with keeping your balance and not falling down. But there's an Ice Marshall here, petite cute Asian girl, she's obviously a figure skater and trying copy a few of her moves ...
...It's to be expected, it hurts only momentarily and all pride was lost when I tied on the skates. I'll need to buy elbow, knee-pads, I suspect acquiring these moves will involve a fair bit of falling, these aren't things that can be undertaken at low velocity, the pirouettes, flying leaps, backwards skating on a single foot, some things can only be learned at speed and with a great deal of accompanying failure. Never mind, it'll keep things interesting...
...meanwhile, the Italian Girl and her boyfriend are skating together, occasionally stumbling, tumbling, tripping into one another, regaining their balance, for them, it's all about not falling.
