WHO: Sanji and Rapunzel WHERE: the skating rink at Rockefeller Center WHEN: Friday, Dec. 9 WARNINGS: not likely SUMMARY: Rapunzel wants to learn to ice skate! FORMAT: para intro but whatever the lady wants after
Rapunzel arrived a couple minutes late, hurrying along in a heavier-than-usual pink dress, with a scarf, and her hair up in the giant, dangerous ponytail. She was barefoot, though the cold ground didn't seem to bother her at all. She waved when she spotted Sanji, smiling brightly.
"I'm here! I'm sorry I'm late, the bus driver yelled at me for not wearing shoes." She said this like it was an ordinary thing because...well...it was. She came to a stop in front of him and grinned. "So anyway let's go!"
Sanji had his arms out for a hug but stopped in surprise. "But aren't your feet cold? Your poor, delicate feet!" He looked her over, to make sure she was all right, but at least once they got their skates, it would be less of an issue. Even without socks. "Ah...they have a place over there to rent skates, so we should get some. It's hard to skate without them, of course." He put on a brilliant grin. "Then it's just slipping and sliding, not skating."
He offered his arm to escort Rapunzel to the skate rental kiosk, fully intending to pay for both and having no problem with it.
Rapunzel shook her head and peered down at her feet, wiggling her bare toes. "Well, no. I mean, a little chilly but it's nothing I haven't felt before?" Rapunzel pretty much never wore shoes. And the tower had gotten quite cold sometimes!
She took his arm and smiled brightly as they started inside. "I can't wait to learn! I brought some money, I couldn't find out how much this would cost..."
'Money' was another thing she still wasn't entirely used to. Even after months. But she was getting there!
"No, no, it's all right," Sanji assured breezily as he led the way. "I can handle that part. Consider it a gift, or a treat in honor of the holidays." Not that he wasn't also going to go out to buy gifts and make treats both. But that was later.
It only took a glance for him to tell what size skate she'd need, one of his hidden talents. He went into full-on prince mode, then, whisking her to a bench and kneeling in front of her to help her put them on with all gentleness a pirate shouldn't have.
