❛ I brought an extra pair just in case ! ❜ RUBY all but coos, her own skates dangling by their laces between two gloved fingers. The Boardwalk --- and the frozen ocean beside it --- was already lively with the delighted screaming and laughter of fellow citizens, and the lights looked downright brilliant reflecting off the thick sheets of ice ! She idly wonders if this kind of thing would make Neptune more or less nervous about the ocean view... But that’s not important right now !
What is important is that she and Penny are finally on the same page, letting her push some of those more troubling thoughts aside for a while... And more than that, this is definitely one of the activities she’d always mulled over doing with her ! Granted, she knew even then that it had been a pipe dream --- and nothing in Patch was as extreme as this makeshift skating rink...
❛ How good are you on ice, anyway ? I always wondered if you had some kinda advantage or not... ❜
@realvived : LET’S GET FESTIVE !
