On Thin Ice

Charlie let out a quiet "Oooooh" when Jaxon explained what he meant, but it didn't take long for him to fall after saying that. Charlie let out a small laugh, mixed with worry. She skated behind Jaxon as he tried picking himself up and Charlie carefully took a hold from under his arms. Charlie lifted him up with ease, after all she could lift 500kg, and set him on his feet.
"I, um...don't really...need a price. This, I mean, skating...with you is...fun, and...a price enough."
Charlie blushed slightly again, but managed a shy smile at Jaxon as she backed up a bit.

Charlie did keep telling herself, that she didn't need anything, being able to skate like this was already so much fun and more Charlie could hope for. She had never been that good at making friends so any friend she could make Charlie held precious.
And she opened her mouth to say that, but Jaxon suggested he would treat Charlie for lunch later, and that thought was very tempting. But Jaxon had already paid for this skating, Charlie couldn't let him pay for that too. But...Charlie wanted to have lunch with Jaxon.

"That..sounds fun. But, um...only if...I can..pay 25%..."
Charlie said and smiled bit shyly and unsurely at Jaxon.

Charlie instinctively kept her arms out and ready to catch Jaxon, when he spun and almost fell. Although it made Charlie giggle a bit, and she tried spinning as well. And succeeded. Pretty well, actually. Charlie had good balance, after all, and sports sense. She spun again, this time smiling from the sheer joy of moving her body around.

Charlie stopped spinning and listened to Jaxon when he spoke, and when he basically asked Charlie out for lunch right now the butterflies in her stomach went crazy and her face, that had finally collected some blush from just moving, got flushed all over again.
"I, um...I'm not...picky. Maybe, um...somewhere with...good dessert?"
Charlie answered just as unsurely and shyly, she absolutely adored sweets.

It was a really tough choice between ice skating and desserts, Charlie really loved sweets but she was starting to like ice skating as well, and wanted to learn to do it better.
"I, uh, I'd...like to...stay a bit...longer."
Charlie said unsurely, looking down on her toes, hopefully Jaxon wasn't already bored of skating and wanted to leave. Since it seemed like he wasn't really getting the hang of it as well as Charlie.

Watching Jaxon attempting to ice skate was kind of like watching a baby horse stand for the first time, kind of wobbly and unsure. Charlie didn't go far away, keeping an eye on Jaxon im case he began to fall. She had already pretty much mastered skating forward, and was attempting to skate backwards, using that as a reason to look back at Jaxon. While blushing, of course.

When Jaxon called her name Charlie stopped and skated over to the boy, stopping herself with a smooth motion couple of feet away. Upon hearing Jaxon's request Charlie smiled and giggled a bit, nodding.
"Of course...I can teach you...I, um, like...teaching you."
Charlie looked down shyly.
"F-first, um...you should...straighten y-your...ankles."
