[Action//Accidental Voice]

[Today Vash was out enjoying the snowfall. He hit the usual places, the flower shop, the bakery, Good Spirits for a drink. He did a little people watching near the fountain before finally hitting the item shop. Where he found a pair of skates that just happened to be his size.

He thought it over for a bit, then decided: what else did he have to do today? So off he went towards the nearest lake and strapped the ice skates on. Only he found out fairly quickly that ice skates don't work so well when the ice is covered in snow.

So after putting his boots back on, another trip back to the item shop, he returns with a shovel and clears an area. Alright! He can do this! He puts the ice skates back on, stands up, and-

-promptly falls over.]

WHAAAAAAAAAA! [Over and over again. He'll slowly start to get the hang of it, but feel free to come and laugh or help him until that point. At one point his journal will even fall out of his pocket. So feel free to also point and laugh at him from the comfort of your own, warm home!]

Yiyiayiyiaia Ow. That really hurt.

[The wilderness was always something that caught Yugo's attention, the young intrepid adventurer that he is. It was only a matter of time before he found his way to the lake (in this case, not even a week), and couldn't help but stare in awe at the icy beauty of it. Bundled up in a warm jacket with his bird Az nested in one of its deep pockets, he gazed at the landscape from a perch at the top of a tree.

The clumsy blond, of course, caught his attention. The repeated cries and falls brought a laugh out of him, but he couldn't help himself after the third one.

The poor man was obviously having trouble. Though unfamiliar with winter sports himself, he was also a good kid. He decided to try to help.

It only took a few portal jumps to get down to the edge of the lake. Waving his small arms, he called out to the man.]

Hellooo! You look like you're having trouble!!

[There's a smile on his face and in his voice. Vash may be confused by the glowing blue portals that he used to get there, and by the supremely epic and cool hat--he doesn't mind. He just wants to be helpful.]

Yeah, it's not as easy [Huh, those are strange blue circles. Vash decides to keep an eye on them, but doesn't falter as he speaks.] as it looks.

[Vash would notice that they disappeared pretty quickly then; they're just your standard space-distortion portals that make it easy to get from point a to point b. They just don't work over great distances. Yugo looks curiously at the man from underneath his hat.]

What are you trying to do? Not fall? [His smile is slightly mischievous. He's trying to make a joke.]

[Oh God, how Vash hopes they came from this little kid. He is not ready for another experiment right now. Maybe they did come from the kid. He hadn't heard him walk up and there doesn't seem to be any footprints in the snow.]

Uh, yeah. I think that's the point of ice skating at least. I've never really done it before.

And how did you get here?

I'll show you.

[With a quick, circular motion of his hands, he opens a portal before him. A secondary one is also opened, and tossed to a place a couple of yards above Vash's head. He jumps in--

And lands on Vash's shoulders.]

Like that. Pretty cool, isn't it?

[Not exactly what Vash was expecting, but not entirely unexpected either. He gives a grunt as he tries to stay upright as the kid lands on his shoulders, but it's hard staying upright on slippery ice with blades on your feet.

He ends up going down in a split for his efforts. OH GOD IT HURTS. His voice is just a LITTLE strained and at a higher pitch when he speaks.]

Yeah... cool... please get off me now.

Oh...okay.

[He steps off of the man's shoulders, feeling a little embarrassed to have caused this---and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiides.] Wha--What? [He takes a step and--] Aaa~aaaiii! [falls backward.]

Ow. Ow. Ow. [Vash's response to his fall is slow as he works on getting himself out of the split.] Never... been... on ice... before? [Oh god, his groin hurts so much right now.]

[Laying back is the best bet for now, which Yugo does. He smiles sheepishly and apologetically at the man.]

Winters are mild in my home, we didn't have time to stop and play the last time I was in the snow. Usually I'd help my Papa in the inn, because travelers don't want to camp in the winter.

...are you okay?

I'll be fine... not so sure about my future children. So your dad ran an inn?

[Yugo...has a vague idea of what the subject of that comment was, but is wise enough to know not to question it. He pulls himself upright and, though wobbly on the ice, offers the obviously much taller man a hand.]

Yeah, Papa owns an inn. I'd help him in the kitchens a lot, actually. He taught me how to cook, although he can't do everything. He can't bake a loaf of bread without burning it!

That does seem like a problem when you run an inn. People do like sandwiches and other bread food. [He'll go ahead and take that offered hand.]

[He pulls at the hand, but his feet don't find purchase. Instead of pulling the man up, it becomes a game against gravity.]

Yeah, it is. There's a bakery in town, though; Papa would have me run over there to get bread every morning.

Uh... huh... [That's all the answer Vash can brain to give as he wonders if he should abort on taking this kid's hand before they BOTH fall over again.]

[No, no! Don't abort! Then everyone will be on the ground anyway! Yugo scrabbles for an anchor, a hold, and continues to hold onto the man's hand.

He continues talking, mostly for a distraction.]

Yeah, but he was a really good cook. He makes the best stew in my village--no, maybe the whole country! I did learn how to bake, though...so maybe when I return home I can help him with baking.

Uh, huh... stew... right... [Vash attempts to help the boy, help himself. Trying to find a good balance on the sharp blades on his feet.]

[The motion throws Yugo's balance off so much that opening a portal is a reflexive measure. He drops through--

and face plants in the snow.

He looks up, flushing with embarrassment.]

Sorry!!

[Being pulled through a trans-dimensional portal was not something Vash had been expecting. He falls throw after the boy, unable to stop himself from falling on top of the kid.

Luckily for Yugo, he doesn't squish him for very long as he's immediately rolling off the kid to throw up that morning's donuts in the snow. What a waste!]

[He doesn't complain about the rough landing--the wind was knocked out of him. Fortunately his little bird, Az, missed the fall, but is twittering irritably at the duo of idiots as they pull themselves together. Yugo catches his breath and pulls himself upright, feeling bad about all of this.]

Sorry! That wasn't supposed to happen!

What was that!?

My portals!

Sorry, it happens to almost everyone!

Warn a guy next time, would ya!?

I--it I...

[He hangs his head.] Sorry.

Ugh, well, we're off the ice now anyway.

...I can make you lunch to apologize?
