[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.

[Hope watches him try to stand up again, automatically outstretching an arm in case he fails. Not that it'll do much good, but...]

That might work, but most of the trees are too far away from the edge of the lake. They're not as hard to stand on the ground in, well, they're hard, but they're even harder when you add in the slippery ice!
sorry for lateness! ;o;
[Whew, at least the guy can stand up this time. Hope's not sure he can handle another slippery incident. He feels bad enough already, even if tall and spiky here is obviously a moron!
He glances toward the bank of the lake, scoping out a nearby tree.]
H-hey, I have an idea. I could hold onto the tree, and you can grab my hand. That way I can balance myself better, and... um, then maybe we won't fall again.
Better late than never, right? 8D
yes... /weep
Um... what's your name, by the way? I'm Hope.

Ah...! R-right, um... nice to meet you?

[Hope trails off, blinking a little.]
... hey, there's an idea. You could try to walk in the skates over dry land! Then you can... well, you can learn to balance on the blades first without also having to deal with overcoming the ice at the same time. Y-you can take it one step at a time.

Um... Now try actually walking on them.

[Hope picks his way across the snow beside Vash, walking on his tiptoes, almost daintily. He's seen the stuff before, having arrived during the previous winter, but having grown up in a climate-controlled environment he's not exactly used to navigating across it.]
