I've never skated before, and I'd probably be awful at it. Did you want to walk by the trees, then?

[spacialeyes]

I haven't either. But when I walked by, the rink was full of so many pretty colours. Maybe we could walk by on our way to the trees?

[dereban]

If you want to try it, you can. You'd probably be better than me at it.

[spacialeyes]

Do you want to try together? I can guarantee that you won't fall, if you'd like.

[dereban]

No, it's okay. I can just watch...

[spacialeyes]

If you don't want to try, then we can skip it..? I don't want for you to be bored. Plus then we can't make cute colours together...

[dereban]

I wouldn't get bored just watching, you know. And why is that the important part?

[spacialeyes]

Because it's pretty!

[He does still lead them towards the skating rink.]

Have you seen it yet? Maybe you'll change your mind once you do.

[dereban]

I haven't seen it yet, no. But I don't think it'd really change my mind.

[spacialeyes]

Let's look anyway!

[Because Yuuto is very eager to try something new! An eagerness made clear by his wide strides and big grin.]

Do they have skating in your world? It doesn't make pretty lights where I'm from. I wonder if it'll look nicer once the sun has set?

[dereban]

Skating exists in my world, but it doesn't make lights. There are even skating competitions, too.

[spacialeyes]

Really? How do you compete in skating? There aren't points or anything.

[dereban]

In competitive skating, there is. It's based on several categories that judges go by.

[spacialeyes]

That's so cool... Humans do some much stuff outside of the shrine. I've been here for months and I'm still surprised every day. Do you like any competitive things, Inaba?

[dereban]

I'm pretty good at card games.

[spacialeyes]

Oh! Can you play solitaire? [that's barely a card game, but it's the first one that he thinks of.]

[dereban]

I can, but it's not the one I usually play.

[spacialeyes]

What do you usually play? Is it... Poker, maybe?

[dereban]

Yeah, actually. I'm really good at it.

[spacialeyes]

I play it too! It's how I make money when I'm in a pinch. I wonder which of us is better..?

[dereban]

Hu~h... are you saying you want to find out?

[spacialeyes]

M-Maybe... If we can find a deck of cards? It might be fun..?

[dereban]

A deck of cards should be easy to find. Ah, but we were going to check the ice skating rink, right?

[spacialeyes]

Right! I almost forgot... There's just so much that I want to do with you! I hope that we'll have time.

[dereban]

Well, if we don't have time tonight, there's always another time.
