[Hikaru's caught him on the ice a few times, but mostly stayed back some distance and watched. He looks... peaceful. A little better than when she met him before. It's nice seeing it. She didn't want to disturb what he was obviously enjoying quietly.
But eventually she does decide it looks easy enough. So one of these days, she tries on a pair of skates and starts making her way onto the ice, holding on to the side-barrier just touching the toe-tips down. Probably the weirdest thing though is she isn't wearing any winter clothes. She's trembling but it isn't from the cold.]
I can do this. Just one foot down. [At the offer of a hand though, she looks up to him.] John, did you do this a lot back home?
