On Thin Ice

Schrodinger's Cat · Dec 11, 2018

He didn't know what Charlie was thinking, but even Jaxon was calling himself a baby horse. While he knew parkour and could jump rooftops, this pair of ice skates was hard to conquer. "Thanks," he said quickly, not realising Charlie's actions, only that she agreed to teach him again.

After a small amount of wobbling, he finally managed to straighten his ankles, and just stood in a wary position. "Yes?"

Charlie watched carefully how Jaxon straightened his ankles, her arms out a bit so she'd be ready to catch him if he fell. Thankfully he didn't, and Charlie smiled at him.
"Good, and...now I'll...give you a..a little push. Keep the...skate blades...pointed forward."
Charlie skated behind Jaxon, setting her hands on his shoulder blades but not pushing yet.
"Now, don't...straighten your kn-knees...keep them...little bent."
With that Charlie carefully pushed Jaxon into motion, slowly.
"A-after..getting used...to the feeling...of ice beneath, y-you..need to...turn the o-other skate...bit to the side, and...push. L-like...rollerskating."

"Okay..." her pressure on his shoulder blades made him stand up a bit straighter, but he was careful to keep his knees bent. Looking down at the ice, he watched as it went by.

Nodding to no one, he used one of his feet to push off, moving slightly faster than Charlie was pushing him. The change in speed surprised him, and he flailed about and fell on his behind. "Ouch." He said with a laugh, looking at Charlie.

Even touching her hands on Jaxon's back made Charlie blush a bit, but thankfully he couldn't see it since she was behind his back. Charlie pushed them along with a slow and steady speed, and when Jaxon was able to push himself Charlie smiled a little and lifted her hands to give him a small, quiet applause. But she never got to that since Jaxon fell and Charlie hastily skated to his side.

"A-are you...okay?"
Charlie asked with a small worried frown as she looked down at Jaxon. But he was laughing and seemed okay, and Charlie smiled a bit at him.
"That was...a good start. Y-you just..need to get...used to it. D-do you..want to try..again?"
Charlie reached out her hand to help Jaxon up.

Taking her hand, Jaxon stood up unsteadily, though once he got his feet under him, it became much easier. "Yeah, I'll try again."

Standing up straight, he made sure his knees were bent again. Still holding her hand, he pushed with his foot. This time, he didn't flail again, and he slid forward a foot before stopping again. "I did it!"
