Abandoned Warehouse, Late Tuesday Afternoon

It wasn't going to be awkward to learn how to roller skate on camera with Hannibal if she didn't allow it to be awkward. They were friends. Friends could have fun. She was not She-Ra. (Except for how she was.)

Trying to be focused, Adora stared down at her pretty, blue roller skates, lacing them up tightly and approving of the way they matched her dress. (When she'd heard skates were like cars on her feet, she probably should have realized padding should have been part of her purchase. Alas.)

Standing back up, she felt steady so far. "I feel pretty steady so far! This is going to be a piece of cake!" No, she had not yet moved on the wheels.

[It's an abandoned warehouse, but hey, feel free to stop in! Mostly meant for that guy who should be smacked. *g*]

Hannibal had black skates but he hadn't yet put them on in the hopes that he'd get out of doing that. He had his camera at his side.

"So, start skating and I'll get some footage for you," he encouraged.

"And I will get footage of you putting your skates on while I skate!" Adora decided, picking up her camera and training it on him.

She should work on trying to go forward with both eyes on the ground first.

"You're going to tape me putting on my skates while you skate?" Hannibal asked dubiously.

"You sound unsure." Though what about she wasn't certain. "Should we take turns?"

"No, no, I just don't know if me putting on skates is all that exciting," he said.

Adora tilted her head to the side. "But my putting on skates is?"

"Well, I didn't film you," he pointed out. "I was waiting till you started skating."

"Oh!" Adora laughed. "Then I will be patient and try this a little while you get caught up!"

Dammit. No getting out of this. He sighed and sat down to put on his skates.

"You should get warmed up," he said. "Since this is your first time and all."

"Excellent idea, friend!" Adora exclaimed and tried rolling one foot forward, leaving her other foot behind. The result was that it appeared a very surprised Adora was trying to do the splits on wheels.

"Oh god!" Hannibal said, scrambling to his feet and trying to get to her side. "Oh god, are you okay?"

"Fine, fine!" Adora said, voice very high as she went down lightly to her back knee to stop the motion forward. "At the very least, I shall provide the professor with quite a show!" Bright side!

"You know, if I did that, I'd be weeping," he said, wincing. "You sure?"

Adora nodded with a little laugh. "You may need to work on your flexibility, Hannibal!"

"Guys aren't supposed to be flexible like that," he said, going back to lacing up his skates. "We leave that to girls."

"I know many flexible men! But then, they are highly trained fighters," she told him, getting to her feet with as much grace as she could muster. "And now, to try this again. I'm going to assume I should move both feet at once!"

"Yeah," he said, slowing down on his skates so he could stay seated for as long as he could. "One foot moves, so does the other."

"Thanks for the tip," she said with a little amusement. It was a little late there. "Off we go! One foot, and then the other!"

She slid forward on eight wheels, concentrating hard on keeping her feet near one another. It worked out fairly well and she beamed when she chanced little looks away from her feet.

"There you go!" Hannibal said, picking up his camera and getting it going. "You're not doing too bad!"

"I'm not! This isn't so hard at all," Adora decided, picking up speed as she made her way across the warehouse floor.

Oh man. She was either going to be a natural or this was going to be a very painful lesson. Whatever it was going to be, Hannibal was going to get it on film.

He was right one way or the other.

She was getting fairly far away from her starting point and suddenly realized she didn't know how to turn around. Reasoning that it couldn't be so difficult or she would need a license to skate, Adora simply tried turning one foot perpendicular to the other and immediately fell down at the abrupt stop.

Ow.

Hannibal hissed but didn't scramble her way this time. Just hissed and winced and said, "You all right? That looked like a painful one!"

Adora was not one to lay there long. She was already crawling to her feet. "I'm good! Just have to keep trying!"

Hannibal kept his laughter quiet and kept his camera on her. "Are you having fun?"
