Skating on Thin Ice

As Aurelia shifted her gaze to him, aligning those pools of shimmering azure with his amethyst and emerald, his smirk morphed into a roguish grin. Oh, was she blushing? Keeping his gaze on her, he relishes in the surge of emotions that courses through his frame- listening to her instructions with minimal interest.

Still, he’d try out her teachings- figuring he’d kill two birds with one stone. Practice navigating ice, and pleasing Aurelia with his interest. Taking a step forward, he’d traverse across the slippery surface- centering his gravity, distributing his weight evenly, and quickening his pace until he was sliding across with fluid, controlled movements.

Circling near Aurelia, transfixed on her twirling frame. He’d feel the ice beneath him start to shift, splintering beneath his weight as he slid onto a thinner portion of ice. “Oh?” He’d say, quickly stepping back from it, shifting his gaze to Aurelia to engage her again. “Thinner ice is problematic for muscular men like myself.”  Ahh, yes, he was inflating his ego. Smiling at Aurelia while rolling his shoulders forward. “Tips for that?” He'd croon.
