Leoben had given Alissa skates for the Christian holiday celebrated by many on Earth known as 'Christmas'. She hadn't though of getting Leoben anything because she didn't think he celebrated and didn't understand the why celebrating a birth of a child that could or could not be from a diety on a day humans thought was the correct date was commemorated by gift-giving. She's also not sure what the purpse of the skates are, but she's determined to try them out.
Alissa's at the skating rink. She had with her the coupon for lessons that was also give to her. She downloaded the basic movements required for skating, but like everything else she accessed, Alissa needs practice to know how to do it.
She's standing at the edge of the rink looking out at the ice surface. Her brand new skates are in her hands. She would do this and be good at it, for Leoben, and then she would go out and purchase a present for him in return.
