[Public Video]
[Cass has set the communicator up so it points at the large frozen lake in the CES and once she's sure it's recording, she grins and takes a few steps back.]
Watch this.
[Turning away, she runs for the lake and jumps onto the ice, sliding across on her feet. Apparently, she's not letting the lack of ice skates get to her. Once she comes to a stop, she turns back to the camera and starts her way back.]
It's fun! Everyone should... come try. Can let in inmates, if you promise... to be good.
(ooc: feel free to comment with spam if your character is a warden! Cass will let any inmate in so long as she can tell they're not there to cause problems.)

Action
10/12/12 17:33 (UTC)Of course, when she hears Merlin's voice she immediately looks for him, which throws off her balance and has her pitching to the side precariously.]
Hi Merlin!
[She's pinwheeling, balanced on one foot, but in the end it's hopeless. She goes down in a controlled somersault, the momentum causing her to slide - on her butt, which is kind of embarrassing - right up to him, where she comes to a stop at his feet. Still, despite the fall, her smile hasn't dimmed, now when she's so pleased to see him.]
Good day?
Action
10/12/12 17:39 (UTC)Yes, thank you. Infirmary was quiet. [Always an unambiguously good thing, in his book. He'd rather have a shift that was boring because nobody had gotten hurt than one that was busy because they had.
He knows she doesn't need it, but he offers a hand to help her up.]
How about you?
Action
10/12/12 18:04 (UTC)[She reaches for his hand and does consider yanking him out onto the ice, but decides against it just in case he goes flailing everywhere because he's not prepared. The last thing she wants is for Merlin to break his nose because he's faceplanted on ice. Instead she just stands and keeps his hand once she's upright.]
Want to try? With less falling. Obviously.
Action
10/12/12 18:48 (UTC)[He looks at the ice, more trying to gauge its thickness than anything - just because it can take Cass' weight doesn't mean it can take both of them.]
...alright. Just try not to laugh too hard when I knock all my teeth out.
[He shrugs off his cloak and lets it drop, so he's unencumbered when he steps out onto the ice.]
Action
10/12/12 18:59 (UTC)[She's strong enough to. She can carry Tim while swinging from buildings, so Merlin will be no problem. Except for the height, that would probably make things interesting.
Once he's on the ice she reaches for his hands, turns so her back is to him, then guides his hands to her waist. She could have had him hold her shoulders, but a handhold lower down will give him more stability and he'll be less likely to pull her over backwards this way.]
Hold on, will pull you. Bend knees, try not to move feet. Just relax. Ready?
Action
10/12/12 19:07 (UTC)Ready as I'll ever be.
Action
10/12/12 19:14 (UTC)Okay?
[And don't worry she can totally do this while not looking forward.]
Action
10/12/12 23:45 (UTC)Yes. I'm okay.
Action
11/12/12 00:25 (UTC)It's never like this, back home. Snow gets dirty, there's no trees.
[She lets go of one of his hands to point, indicating one of the trees that's lose all its leaves. It's covered in ice and sparkles when the sun hits it.]
Trees made of glass. It's beautiful, here.
Re: Action
11/12/12 00:43 (UTC)It is.
[Eventually, he finds himself able to stop investing all his concentration in not falling over; he can relax, look around, talk, just enjoy the sensation of the world sliding by.]
It hardly ever gets cold enough to snow in Camelot, but we had some harsh winters in Ealdor. When I grew older, I realised how dangerous it was when we couldn't travel to trade and our livestock were at risk. But when I was young...I would come out at dawn and everything was white, and so quiet, and perfect. It was like magic, but...everyone could see it.
Action
11/12/12 01:09 (UTC)Wouldn't like it... all the time, but sometimes is okay. Want to see... a beach sometime, too. Have you seen one?

11/12/12 23:26 (UTC)More likely would be a port where everyone was trapped on a desert island with no food or water, but she'll just keep that to herself.]
Have something for you. [She pulls one of his hands forward and digs into her pocket, then presses two black buttons into his palm.] Eyes.
Action
11/12/12 23:30 (UTC)Eyes...? [It takes him a moment.] Oh. For the snowman?
Action
11/12/12 23:35 (UTC)[Not Cass, that's for sure. She smiles at him over her shoulder, setting them at a bit of a sideways slide now that one foot is taking more weight than the other.]
Can make it later, if you want. If you're not... too cold.
Action
11/12/12 23:38 (UTC)[He seeks out her hand with his, and touches an iron key against her fingers for her to take.]
Action
11/12/12 23:46 (UTC)Promise not to... bug you all the time. Just some of it.
Re: Action
12/12/12 23:05 (UTC)[He is seventy-five per cent kidding.]
Action
12/12/12 23:30 (UTC)[Her kidding ratio is just about the same as his, but only because she wants him to get the rest he needs. After she puts the key safely in her pocket, she puts both hands on his shoulders and with her hands there and his at her waist, it's almost like they're dancing while they slide over the ice.]
Christmas is soon. Excited?
