[Viskyia Crow]

The jeweler blinked, started that the man had come up to her and spoke. She smiled, friendly, and glanced back out at the ice. "It looks a bit challenging. I'd have to go rent blades." The half-esh said, glancing at the stand where the man was renting them. "Have you been skating long? You look like you're doing well." Viskyia said, smiling once more as two men went speeding by... they were skating hard, chasing each other, laughing. Brothers, she assumed, and her grin widened. "It does look like fun. I'll go get some blades. I'm Viskyia, by the way." She said, deciding all she really had needed was an invitation. The man before her looked vaguely familiar, but she wasn't certain...."You look really familiar... Oh, from the spider races... you almost won! I was jealous of how you rode. I thought you'd done it before." The jeweler said, laughing lightly. Now that she'd identified the man somewhat, she felt slightly more relaxed. "I'll be right back..."

The half esh left him at the rail and went to rent some blades, strapping them to her boots and heading hesitantly out onto the ice. It was... unusual. Wet but frozen, it was slick under her feet but with the blades, it wasn't as hard as she first imagined... nor as difficult as it looked. It took strength in her ankles and shins to hold herself up. And though her steps where hesitant, she laughed nonetheless, looking once more for the friendly gentleman who'd been so encouraging. "How in the world do we do this?" She asked, still smiling as she held her arms out for balance and tried to stay on her feet.
