"I'm not amazing at it," Usopp replied carefully, reaching out to take George's hand and steady her. "It didn't always get cold enough in the winter on my island for the lake to freeze." He smiled at her, excited and just a little nervous, since it had been a while since he'd done this. It wasn't so hard to stay standing while ankle deep in the snow at the side of the small pond they'd found, but he took extra care as he began to step onto the ice.

George followed, her whole body tense, as she was worried about falling on the ice. "You'll catch me if I fall, right?" she asked, squeezing his hand for reassurance as she took her first step onto the ice.

Usopp nodded and squeezed her hand back. "Sure. You can hold my hand for a while if that helps, okay? But..." He paused to test his feet and make sure he was steady with both blades on the ice--it really wouldn't do for him to fall and pull George down with him. "Uh. Oh, I was gonna say, even if you fall, it's not too bad. Because you slide, so it's not like falling on the ground."

Taking an experimental step and letting her foot slide, George nodded. "I know. I've been ice skating before. It's just. Been a long time." Since the first step seemed to go well, she relaxed a little, taking another step, getting them moving, albeit very slowly.
