*Maggie keeps a good grip on his hands to steady herself, still watching her feet at first as she moves slowly along the ice with him. She glances up every now and then as she starts getting the feel for it, her smile spreading as she manages it with less and less wobbling*

Want to try it on your own? *Bard loosens his grip tentatively*

*she hesitates for a moment, looking uncertain, but then nods, releasing his hands* Alright . . .
*Maggie skates forward slowly, holding her arms out the side for balance. She starts out looking fairly nervous, but her expression relaxes back into a smile as she realizes she's actually doing it on her own*
*she laughs, and grins up at him* I think I may be - Oh! *She's interrupted as the toe of her skate catches, sending her pitching forward towards the ice*

Easy now!! *Bard catches Maggie around the waist, keeping her from falling. He pulls her to her feet, steadying her until she regains her balance.* I've got you.
*he gives her a reassuring squeeze* Maybe we should stick together, eh?

*Maggie grabs a hold of his arms as she regains her bearings, looking up at him and then blushing again and tilting her face away* Aye, 'tis likely a good idea . . . thank ye.

*Bard keeps a firm hold of Maggie around her waist with one arm, * Watch my feet. Just move as I move. *he glides forward slowly*

*She looks down as he instructs, her face still red, and tries to match her movements to his. She's much better able to maintain her balance with his arm around her to steady her, but even as she starts to skate more smoothly she keeps her gaze determinedly fixed on their feet*

*Bard smiles faintly at how adorable Maggie looks concentrating so hard on her footwork. He increases their pace very gradually until they're moving at a comfortable speed.*
Maggie. Look up! You're flying.

*Maggie lifts her head,and then lets out an involuntary peal of laughter, her entire face lighting up as the sensation of gliding along the ice with him strikes her fully* . . . I am! *she beams up at him* Oh, 'tis really grand!

*Bard laughs. He leads them gently around the curve of the rink. He begins to hum Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty Waltz.''*

*Maggie smiles at the sound of it, happy just to listen to him as they skate around the rink together* 'Tis a lovely song . . .

You can thank Tom and Jerry.
*he chuckles* We'll have to watch TV some time... there's something called cartoons, and....
*a small child of about five or six cuts directly in front of their path. Bard attempts to break sharply, but Maggie's added momentum throws him off balance*

*Maggie lets out a noise of alarm, and reflexivly grabs ahold of Bard's arm to try to both steady him and keep them from running into the child . . . and while they're able to avoid a collision, she completely loses her footing in the process, sending them both crashing downwards*

* Bard cradles Maggie as they topple, trying to protect her from the worst of the fall. He hits the ice rather inelegantly, with Maggie on top of him, knocking the wind out of him.*
*he gasps for a moment* Maggie, are you all right?

*Maggie responds a little breathlessly, trying to reorient herself from the fall* Aye . . . *She nods at his question, much more concerned about him, who took the brunt of it* Are ye hurt, Bard? *she lifts her head to look at him, worried . . . and then blinks, surprised to find herself almost nose to nose with him. A blush creeps steadily across her face as she realizes she landed right on top of him*
