Summary: Mykel and Clara go on another date. They go ice skating! :D
OOC!Psiren: *sitting on a rock near a pond, ice skates next to her, drawing pictures in the snow with a gloved finger while she waits for Mykel*
Mykel: ::jogs toward her, skates slung over his shoulder, and waves a little as he approaches:: Hey!
OOC!Psiren: *stands up, smiling* Hello Mykel! ...Lovely day, isn't it?
Mykel: Yeah, it is. ::chuckles a little, and walks up to her, pulling her into a brief hug, blushing ever so faintly:: What've you been drawing here? ::looks down at the snow, smiling::
OOC!Psiren: *hugs back, also blushing* Oh... *laughs a little* ...nothing.... A happy face. Flowers. *blushing a little more* Just doodles....
Mykel: ::smiles:: Sounds like fun. I hope you weren't waiting too long... ::brushes some snow off a rock next to hers and sits down, taking his skates off his shoulder and loosening the laces::
OOC!Psiren: Oh no, I've only been here a few minutes. It's nice, just to be out here in the sunshine. Even if it is cold. *sits as well, tugging at the laces on her skates*
Mykel: Well, skating should get us nice and warm. And if it gets too cold we can always head back to my place and warm up. ::pulls off one of his boots and trades it for a skate, lacing it up::
OOC!Psiren: Oh yes, we should anyway, since I didn't get a chance to say hello to Kiri last time.... *exchanges boot for skate* ...Just so you know, I'm not the world's best skater... I mean, I can move around on the ice and not fall over... usually... but I can't go very fast, and I'm not very good at stopping.... *chuckles a little, sheepishly*
Mykel: ::grins:: Alright. She'd love to see you, I'm sure. ::gets his other skate on and works on its laces:: Oh, no, that's fine. I'm not exactly champion material either. ::chuckles:: It'll be fine, don't worry.
OOC!Psiren: ...Hopefully between the two of us, we'll manage to stay on our feet. *smiles, tugging on her second skate* At least I had some practice on Christmas... it doesn't get cold enough to freeze in Aquroya, but we've got a retired State Alchemist who freezes the entire river every Christmas....
Mykel: Oh wow, really? That's great! How nice of him. ::chuckles, then stands up and holds out his hand, smiling:: Whenever you're ready.
OOC!Psiren: *finishes lacing her boot* Yes, he's very nice.... *takes his hand, pulling herself up* ...Ready! *smiles*
Mykel: Alright, let's try not to fall too hard. ::grins, squeezing her hand gently, then walks forward and steps out onto the ice, looking over at her to make sure she does alright::
OOC!Psiren: ...Well, I don't know, the ice looks pretty soft to me.... *grins, squeezing his hand back, and stepping onto the ice carefully, holding onto his hand tightly for balance*
Mykel: ::laughs:: That would make skating an interesting challenge, wouldn't it? ::smiles, then pushes off a little, gliding slowly forward::
OOC!Psiren: *giggles a little* ...Yes, it would! ...Squishy ice.... *tries to imagine this, pushing off and wobbling slightly before getting her balance and skating a little faster, still not likely to let go of his hand any time soon... not like she particularly wants to*
Mykel: ::grins at her giggling, and keeps a tight hold on her hand as well, then continues skating forward, making sure to keep it slow::
OOC!Psiren: *keeps up well enough, concentrating on skating until she gets used to it* ...Perhaps this is the wrong time to ask, but... we are sure this pond is solid... aren't we? *chuckles a little, maybe only slightly nervous*
Mykel: Well, as sure as we can be? It's not a particularly big pond, and I don't see any cracks. It's not nomally very deep, either, so... I guess if it does break, we'll be fine. But I doubt it's going to be a problem. ::smiles::
OOC!Psiren: ...Okay.... I guess I'm still having trouble wrapping my brain around the idea of it being cold enough to just freeze everything naturally... even though I can feel for myself how cold it is....
Mykel: Yeah, I bet. It must be weird to get used to. ::chuckles:: Well, if you want me to check and see how thick the ice is, I can try and break it over there- ::gestures off to the side:: -or something, if it would make you feel any better about it. But I think we're probably okay.
OOC!Psiren: ............No, let's not try to break the ice, shall we? *laughs a little*
Mykel: ::laughs:: Fine with me. ::squeezes her hand and keeps on with the skating, looking over at her and smiling::
OOC!Psiren: *squeezes back, smiling back at him before glancing away and blushing at her feet*
Mykel: ::chuckles softly, then leans over just a little and kisses her on the cheek, now blushing as well::
OOC!Psiren: *eeps and turns a brighter red, clinging more tightly to his hand to keep from falling over*
Mykel: Sorry, I didn't mean to throw you off! ::blushes more::
OOC!Psiren: No no, it's fine! Surprised me is all.... *beams at him happily, still bright red, managing to regain her balance*
Mykel: Well, alright... ::chuckles a little, still blushing as well:: Maybe I should've given some kind of advance warning. ::grins::
OOC!Psiren: .........Well, there's always next time.... *examining her toes again, glances at him out of the corner of her eye, maintaining a quite impressive blush* ...Then again... nothing wrong with surprises.... *LALALA, ooh, look at that pretty ice!*
Mykel: Hm, you mean this next time right here? ::grins and kisses her cheek again, switching the hand that's holding hers for his other hand so he can put the former on her back::
OOC!Psiren: *somehow manages to blush more than she is already, giggling and squeezing his hand*
Mykel: ::beams, rubbing her back a little, then guides her gently as he turns so they don't both go crashing into a snowbank::
OOC!Psiren: *is forced to pay attention to her skating again* ...Hurray, I turned and I didn't fall over! Always a good sign.... *laughs*
Mykel: Congratulations! ::grins:: See, you're doing just fine.
OOC!Psiren: Thank you~! Actually, turning's about as technical as my skating gets....
Mykel: Hey, there's nothing wrong with that. I can't do much more, anyway. I could probably manage skating backward a bit, but I'm sure I'd fall pretty quickly. ::laughs:: So really, all I can do is go forward and turn and stuff. Nothing technical there either.
OOC!Psiren: ...I've never managed to figure out the skating backwards thing... I mean, I can do it... realllllllly slowly.... *laughs* ...I can do this, though~! *lifts up one foot, gliding on the other, holding on tightly to his hand, and sticking out her other hand for balance*
Mykel: ::grins:: Hey, nice! You've got good balance, there.
OOC!Psiren: *wobbles a little, puts her foot back down quickly* Heh, I suppose....
Mykel: Sure you do. Skating on one foot? That takes good balance. Otherwise you'll end up falling flat on your face. Which you quite nicely avoided, you'll notice. ::smiles::
OOC!Psiren: ...Well, it helps that I was holding onto you... but thanks. *smiles*
Mykel: Details, details. ::chuckles and rubs her back a little::
OOC!Psiren: *leans her head against his shoulder, sighing happily*
Mykel: ::slides the hand on her back around her waist instead, smiling down at her when he's not looking in front of them to make sure they don't crash::
OOC!Psiren: *shifts her hold on his hand, twining their fingers together, then hesitates briefly before leaning up to kiss him on the cheek, turning rather pink as she does so*
Mykel: ::smiles, blushing a little, and squeezes her hand gently:: Clara, you're... really sweet, you know.
OOC!Psiren: *blushing more now* Oh! Ah... I am?
Mykel: Yeah. ::grins:: You are. I really love spending time with you like this...
OOC!Psiren: *bright red, beaming up at him* ...I really love spending time with you too, Mykel....
Mykel: ::smiles:: Thank you... ::glances in front of them to make sure they're not likely to crash into anything, then leans down and gives her a light kiss on the lips::
OOC!Psiren: *loses any semblance of conscious thought, manages to kiss him lightly back through the haze*
Mykel: ::rubs his nose against hers lightly, then rests his cheek on top of her head, smiling::
OOC!Psiren: *sort of somehow manages to keep her feet moving on autopilot, snuggling against him a little and grinning idiotically out at the world in general*
Mykel: ::hugs her a little, then smiles:: Getting tired of skating at all yet? Just let me know when you want to head back.
OOC!Psiren: *still sort of in hazy land* ...Whatever you want to do is fine!
Mykel: If you say so. ::chuckles:: I was just thinking... As beautiful as it is out here, there are only so many times you can skate around the same pond. But there is fresh cider waiting for us at my apartment that I can heat up.
OOC!Psiren: ...That sounds wonderful, actually.... Um... I hope you're better at stopping than I am.... ^_^;;
Mykel: ::grins:: Hey, if all else fails, falling into a pile of snow isn't exactly painful. But yeah, I can stop. Most of the time. ::winks, heading back toward the rocks they left their shoes by::
OOC!Psiren: ...Great. *laughs, clinging to him and concentrating on not falling over*
Mykel: ::does in fact manage a stop once they get there, hoping his hold on her will slow her enough to let her stop as well::
OOC!Psiren: *tries to help stop herself with some amount of success, but is still moving a little when he stops, holds onto his arm and swings around him a little, laughing, trying to lose momentum*
Mykel: ::has to work really hard not to be pulled over by her, and laughs a bit as well, smiling:: I've got you, it's okay! ::keeps a tight hold on her, trying to help her stop::
OOC!Psiren: *swivels to a stop, still laughing and clinging to his arm* ...Did I mention I usually stop by running into a wall?
Mykel: ::grins:: That works! Except for when there are no walls, like out here, so... I guess I'm as effective as a wall? ::laughs and steps off the ice::
OOC!Psiren: Well, you're a lot more fun than a wall. *grins, wobbling on her skates over to her rock and plopping down with a happy sigh*
Mykel: ::laughs:: Oh good, that's a good sign. Thanks. ::chuckles and goes to sit on his rock as well, putting his boots back on::
OOC!Psiren: You're welcome~! *wrestles with her skates, then shoves her boots back on, smiling over at him*
Mykel: ::smiles back at her, then ties the laces of his skates together so he can hang them over his shoulder again, and stands, holding out a hand to her::
OOC!Psiren: *takes his hand, standing, holding her boots in the other, swinging their hands a little* Shall we? *feeling rather cheerful*
Mykel: ::grins and squeezes her hand a little:: Yeah, let's go. ::starts back toward his apartment::
OOC!Psiren: *squeezes his hand back, smiling at him, before looking around at all the pretty snow-covered trees and things as they walk*
Mykel: ::smiles, mostly looking at her, moreso than the snow::
OOC!Psiren: *glances at him, smiling and blushing a little*
Mykel: ::blushes when she looks at him, smiling, then looks forward, fearing he might trip over a rock or something stupid if he's not paying attention::
OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip, smiling to herself* .......Has anyone ever told you that you're really cute when you blush?
Mykel: ::blushes more:: ...No? ::self-conscious grin::
OOC!Psiren: *grins at him, also pink* Well. You are.
Mykel: Oh, well... thanks... ::smiles, still blushing, and runs a hand through his hair::
OOC!Psiren: *feeling rather bold* ...Of course, I think you're cute all the time anyway.... *blushing at the ground*
Mykel: ::nearly does trip over nothing at all, and looks at her, smiling:: Thank you, Clara... I... I think you're really beautiful... ::is probably heating up the air around him a good deal given his blush::
OOC!Psiren: *looks up at him, smiling shyly* I... really? *blushing to match him... is the snow melting?*
Mykel: Yes, really. Really, really. ::chuckles and gives her a quick kiss on the cheek, then digs in his pocket for his keys as they approach the apartment complex::
OOC!Psiren: *there's that happy haze again* Oh! Thank you.... *smile threatening to exceed the boundaries of her face*
Mykel: You're welcome. ::beams happily and heads toward the main entrance to the lobby, pulling the door open and holding it for her::
OOC!Psiren: *smiles thanks at him, going inside*
