[insinning]

Yeah, lets do that.

[Can they do a little jump off this ramp? This is fun]

You have the whole say free, right?

[dissimulative]

[ They can absolutely do a little jump off this ramp. Oria goes ahead first so that he can catch Sinclair if something goes wrong. There will be no skinned knees while he's around. ]

I do!

[insinning]

Then, lets do that.

[Sinclair has the whole day free too. He does a little hop, gliding off easily. Small was safe and easy to handle]

[dissimulative]

Yeah!

[ Sinclair hopping off the ramp like that gets Oria thinking... ]

What else do you think you can do? Possibly even tricks...?

[ He doesn't expect him to nail it, but Sinclair has been seriously learning fast. ]

[insinning]

Uhh...I don't know.

[Jumping off things was fine since Sinclair had lost his fear of falling. But anything that required skill. Concern.]

[dissimulative]

Then let's try going down the half-pipe!

[ Can Sinclair handle that... ]

I'll catch you at the bottom if you feel like jumping instead.

[insinning]

[Looking at the half pipe]

...don't you think I'd flatten you if I fell though?

[dissimulative]

Aren't you like... 55 kilos?

[ He looks at Sinclair, as if staring at him will help him determine his weight. ]

[insinning]

...how did you know?

[Sinclair looks over in surprise. Sure, he had checked his weight in his final round of medical examinations but Oria wouldn't know that.

...probably...]

[dissimulative]

I guessed!

[ An educated guess, but still a guess. ]

Anyway, you won't squish me because I know you won't jump off the half-pipe.

[ Oria goes ahead, skating down the half-pipe and turns back around at the center. ]

[insinning]

That's not wrong, but--

[He's not afraid of falling, but he really doesn't want to crash into anyone either. He waits for a few seconds to ready himself and goes down after Oria, not nearly as effortless but at least he's not picking up too much speed or crashing.
That was actually a little nerve-wracking]

[dissimulative]

You did it!

[ Oria holds Sinclair's hands as some sort of reward. ]

You have a good degree of control already. I'm impressed.

[insinning]

[Sinclair grabs Oria's hand in relief, exhaling slowly as he leans in.]

That was a little scary. Fun. But scary.

[dissimulative]

And new!

[ It feels refreshing, or at least it does to Oria. ]

Emil... you're never one for thrills, huh?

[insinning]

Hmm, I feel like I have enough thrills from day to day life.

[He's thinking about it...yeah...yeah...]

[dissimulative]

[ Honestly, that's very fair. Oria gives a small wry smile. ]

You sure understand the value of peace even more because of it, huh?

[ Poor Sinclair... always wrapped up in a situation one way or another. ]

[insinning]

[ Y-Yeah...Sinclair skates along side Oria, squeezing his hand a little]

Yeah. Sometimes it's just nice not to have to think about anything.

[dissimulative]

What are those times? Hm?

[ Oria wants Sinclair to list some, but he's also teasing, considering what one of them might be... ]

[insinning]

[ Thanks, Oria. ]

Oh. Um. Like when we're just laying around doing nothing. Or I'm reading.

[ THEY'RE IN PUBLIC? ]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria laughs after seeing a bit of pink on Sinclair's face. ]

You don't think about anything when you read books?

[insinning]

[Hmph]

I do, but it's not the same type of thinking.

[dissimulative]

What do you mean? Is it like the kind of thinking that puts you in the zone like with that one book you were obsessed with back in Fragment?

[ Never gonna let that go. ]

[insinning]

Mm, like I'm lost in a different world. [OH] Actually, you know I found a copy of that book at a second hand store?

[He was so happy]

[dissimulative]

Oh.

[ Does he really have to be jealous of a book outside of the game too!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ]

I bet you're having a blast with it.

[insinning]

I am. [He's still oblivious to this, rip] I didn't think I'd find it again after all.
