I am not gonna force you onto ramps and rails! We can stay on the flatter surfaces! There's a lot of that too.

[ Oria takes his hand and guides him slowly. He will have patience for this. ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair smiles, squeezing Oria's hand as he skates along. He remembers some of this, but it's not quite muscle memory for him just yet. He had taken to practicing in his spare time, but]

Mm. Then, if we can start off slow...

[At least he remembers how to stop now. The most important thing]

It feels less slippery out here, actually.

[dissimulative]

Yeah! The rink is meant to be more slippery, but the skate park is just concrete. That's why a lot of people also have elbow and knee pads just in case.

[ Oria will never look down on people in taking safety precaution, though he doesn't use them himself because he doesn't feel that he needs them. In fact, they're a hindrance to him at this point... ]

Let's see how much you remember!

[ He still takes it easy with Sinclair though, adjusting his speed when needed, holding his hand, and all that good guidance. ]

[insinning]

I really don't know how much I have...

[Sinclair is so used to getting banged up now he didn't think twice about the elbow and knee pads. He goes skating along with Oria, relaxing as he gets into it again. It's fun, and he much prefers this over skiing and his memory of how to skate is pretty on point once he gets the hang of it again]

1/2

[dissimulative]

[ Honestly though... never forget the failure of the pizza brakes. ]

It's okay! But how is it? It looks like you're slowly getting used to it--

[dissimulative]

[ He yanks Sinclair close to him and makes sure that he catches him in case he falls, just narrowly avoiding a collision with a different skater who's been going too fast who flew off the ramp all of a sudden. ]

Hey! Watch it!

[ The skater just zooms away... they're really going too fast. Oria clicks his tongue and turns back to Sinclair. ]

Are you okay?

[insinning]

[Sinclair yelps, hanging onto Oria when he gets yanked, wobbling a little but he manages to steady himself with Oria steadies him]

Y-Yeah, I'm okay. [He's balanced again at least] It's a bit easier out here, actually.

[Despite the zooming skaters who don't know how to hit the brakes]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria smiles at Sinclair a bit and loosens his hold onto Sinclair so that he can upright himself. ]

If you say so! People should be more aware of their surroundings...

[ He shoots a quick glare at the direction where the skater went. ]

... Anyway, let's continue! Show me what you can do!

[insinning]

[Sinclair glances around and nods]

I hope you're not expecting anything challenging.

[But Sinclair's balance is actually pretty good now. He goes skating across the park without any problems, shifting his weight exactly as Oria showed him. He can even skate backwards now]

[dissimulative]

[ He's not expecting tricks, but to see Sinclair master the basics already brings a smile to his face. ]

No, this is good! As expected of Emil, you learn so fast~

[ He's just very happy, mostly because Sinclair is giving his hobby a go so that they can have fun together. That's the most appealing part for him. Ahh, he just wants to squish him in a hug and never let go. He skates alongside him happily, smiling all the while. ]

[insinning]

[ Sinclair blushes a little but he laughs, picking up speed. He's got good spacial awareness and with the near close call earlier, he's a lot more alert than before]

Hmm, I must have had a good teacher.

[dissimulative]

Gee, I wonder who that could be!

[ Oria laughs, skating on ahead, ducking under a rail and going back to Sinclair after turning around. ]

But, I'm really happy. Thanks for coming out with me.

[insinning]

[Sinclair hops down a low ramp to gain a bit of extra speed, coming to a stop to reach out and grab Oria's hand with a laugh]

I like doing these things with you. [He likes seeing Oria happy and genuinely relaxed] I'm glad we were both able to find the time for this.

[dissimulative]

Whatever I clear out my schedule with if it's for you, it's non-negotiable.

[ To him, Sinclair is more important than so many other things. He holds his hand, feeling the warmth and squeezes it. ]

I'll never take this time for granted.

[ He pulls Sinclair towards him and dips him while using his hands to balance him so that he doesn't actually fall. He looks absolutely smug. ]

[insinning]

[ Sinclair flushes, but he lets Oria dip him, arms going around Oria's shoulders with another laugh]

Me too.

[ Sinclair smiles up at Oria, reaching up to cup his face. Nevermind they're in public]

Being with you, getting time like this makes me happy.

[dissimulative]

[ It's a tender moment that gets Oria's cheeks to redden a little, so he pulls Sinclair upright and smiles the widest one he can. ]

Hey, Emil. Have you thought about getting another piercing?

[insinning]

Another one?

[ Sinclair watches Oria go a little pink. Oh, that's cute...]

Maybe. I thought I'd get used go my current ones first...

[He's wearing slightly assymetrical ones today; a fluffy red tassel attached to a golden stud on one ear, and a single golden one in the other]

[dissimulative]

You're so classy with the tassel one.

[ Oria thinks back to what Deto and Nanase said about rings and how they actually got them when they were out in the real world again. But rings aren't Oria nor Sinclair's thing to begin with. Oria always had clip ons for his "piercings", but... ]

I thought it would be nice if we could get a matching one.

[insinning]

[Sinclair reaches up to touch Oria's ear gently, looking interested. He likes the thought of something matching]

Yeah? I'd like that. Where were you thinking?

[dissimulative]

[ His accessories look real, but they're just clip-ons. Moreover, they're all only on one ear anyway. ]

Something simple, but I don't know what the design should be or anything. Hm... maybe with the moon and the stars?

[ He's not sure... ]

[insinning]

I like that. Celestial themed. North star, maybe?

[ Sinclair is a fan of the idea. And he's already thinking about the placement. Oria thought the tassel one was classy, huh? That makes him happy too]

Should I get another one on my ear lobe or up here?

[Touching the shell of his own ear, along the helix]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria looks over where Sinclair touches his own ear, thinking about it. ]

I like that idea. It would have to be stud earrings for that and I'd be fine with the lobe, but yours are already full...?

[ He thinks. The tassel looks big in his opinion, even though it looks really nice. ]

Oh, but I have one requirement. It has to be either white gold, silver, or platinum. I won't accept other colors.

[ Despite his namesake, he really doesn't seem to like gold as a color... ]

[insinning]

[Sinclair fiddles with the tassel a little as he considers that]

I would have to go for a really tiny one if I wanted to keep the tassel, I think.

[It is a big earring, but it's actually very light too so it doesn't bother him. He reaches up to brush Oria's hair back a little. Luckily they had stopped in a spot that most people weren't skating around so Sinclair can be as freely as affectionate as he wants to be without getting in the way of anyone else]

Mm. Silver does suit you best.

[dissimulative]

Right?! How about this—if you wanna draw up a concept of it, I wouldn't be opposed to it, and I can try to get someone who can make that for us. What do you think?

[ That way it'll be their own custom design. Unique. Paired. Oria seems to really like that idea. ]

It could probably go on the ear without the tassel too.

[insinning]

[It's not that Sinclair forgets Oria is Rich-Rich, but sometimes Oria says things that reminds him that - oh, that's something that can be done, huh? Sinclair smiles, brightening further at the idea as he takes Oria's hand again]

Mm. I can do that. Something with stars and a moon...

[He feels a little giddy knowing there's something they'll have that's unique to them]
