[he dramatically waves his hand, but the smile on his face ruins the effect. he'll lead the way outside, picking up skates along the way. he'll put his on and also help four with the laces for hers if she lets him,]
Think it's been years for me. I've traveled plenty during the winter, but I've never had the time during my missions.
[though there was that one time he made a snowman before Allen ran off dramatically,]
she tries standing on the skates and because she's op, she doesn't topple over but her balance isn't there yet. it takes a bit adjustment, but she takes careful steps towards the lake. ]
[though the irony that they can only do this because they're dead doesn't escape him, he glances at her with a grin, then places a skate on the ice, pushing off almost immediately -- though he turns to come back to where Four is,]
[ four is letting it escape her because she doesn't want to think about how being dead is what makes this happen.
she smiles a little but shakes her head. ]
I won't be so weak as to need that.
[ she can't let herself be like that. she's slow to start once she's on the ice, but she gets the hang of it. it's a little wobbly, but she isn't falling yet.
at least not until the ice looks like it's starting to crack. ]
[hm!!!! that's bad!!! Lavi looks down, the sound alerting him, and sees the cracks form under their skates. ]
-- Shit!
[Shit. Survival(?) training kicks in, and he pivots on his skates and grabs for Four's hand, letting his acceleration pull him along towards the shore, to hopefully, SAFETY]
[ she glides along with him, but she looks back behind them at the ice as they go. she doesn't want to freeze, but dying is only temporary when you're already dead.

Thank you, Lavi. It's not something I like to think too long about.
[ it makes her usual bad mood worse. her mentality is already fragile. that's where her repression comes in. ]
... It doesn't help me much to.
[ which means she thinks about it too much. ]

Lavi will reach up to tug on one of her ponytails.... playfully.... but also to distract her a little, to focus her attention on him]
Well, I know the perfect solution to that.
[he gestures out the window to the lake of ice beyond]
Wanna go ice skating?

she follows his gesture to look out the window. ]
... All right. It's been a while since I've had to chance to.
[ it's hard to say if she has ever but i'm going on a lark. at least he's doing a good job of diverting her attention. ]

How do they feel?
no subject
We've both been too focused on our missions.
[ they're similar for different reasons.

I think they'll do. Are you ready?

The ice looked too thick to crack. Why...?
