Too cold

A voice suddenly rang out from close by and Rhea jumped, as per usual, but seeing as her front legs were on ice that caused them both to slip out from under her simultaneously. The girl landed flat on her stomach, legs everywhere and chin hurting a bit from landing on the edge of the ice. Oof, not a good first action when someone was coming over to talk to her. She still caught what he said but had to take a good long moment to really appreciate how awkward that was.

Lifting herself up, Rhea stepped back onto the shore carefully and shook out her fur before turning and smiling at the man she now recognized and gave him a few wags of her tail to indicate she was in fact perfectly okay despite her clumsiness. "Have you ever... ice skated?" she asked, testing the word on her tongue and logging it for later use. "It sounds fun, but I think it might be a little intimidating to be out on ice like that. Especially in the middle." Honestly she was probably just lucky that she hadn't fallen through when she fell on her face just then.
