Ramajan broke into a grin, now there'd be something even more entertaining to watch! He glanced back once to the guy that Arahila had been speaking to previousely. He wondered how well they knew eachother and whether or not he'd come closer to get a better look. His grin was also for the clever way he'd just figured out how to get the other girl's name.
"It'll be the Fantastic Duo: Arahila and... uh, well I don't know your name yet," he said with a bit of a sheepish grin. He couldn't always hide his thoughts like he had earlier, and the somewhat guilty look to his face might give away that he'd made a very obvious attempt to get her name.

 Shima laughed at the guy's obvious attempt to get her name.
" It starts with an S and ends with an A. Try guessing that? " She grinned winking at him. His efforts were good but she didnt feel like telling exactly who she was just yet.
" Arahila huh? " Shima pondered over the name. Usually a's were like Anna, or Ashley. This girl's name was quite original and had a nice ring at the same time.
Turning back to Arahila, she gave her a soft smile.
" We're going to start off swinging past each other alright? You usually need to either have or develop the stamina to swing, because the bar isnt going to do it for you. But we'll do that until you get the hand of it, alright?
It takes more stamina then anything else to force the bars to move with you. It's not quite as hard as I might sound." She looked at her directly, for her approval or anything else?
She didnt want to rush the girl into it, but if they started off swinging far instead of small distances it would help alot more.

Arahila stretched her arms once more. It was a nervous habit of hers that she would start stretching when she was usnure of what to do next. "Umm...that sounds okay. I'm not too sure how good I'll be at this, so I apologize in advance." She smiled and looked inbetween the two as something else dawned on her.
"Hey, this is a little unfair here. Both of you know my name and I don't know either of you yet I'm going on the trapeze with you," she looked at Shima and nodded in her direction, "And I'm trusting the net that you," she looked at and nodded slightly at Ramajan, "checked on will save me if I fall. This isn't very fair." A slight line of worry had crossed her face. She didn't know any other trainees here yet, and it was a little scary to put your life in the hands of a complete stranger. Well, "putting your life in their hands" is a little exxagerated, but that's how it seemed to her.

Ramajan shrugged, he certainly wasn't going to press it if she wasn't going to give her name. Not only was he just not that witty, but it would be emberassing to try now. Beside, he hadn't given her his name either so they were still on somewhat even footing.
Listening to the other girl, Ramajan's eyebrows slid up less than half an inch and he made an ammused sound in his throat. He gave a nod when she mentioned the nets, "They are secure," he said quietly within her miniature rant, not really expecting the comment to be noticed.
"You can call me Ramajan," he said when she finished. He realized that he could have tried to sound mysterious and try to give the impression that while she could call him that it may or may not be his name. However he didn't feel it necessary.

" Theres the chance you can sue us? " Shima pointed out as Arhila said the phrase, putting her life in their hands. Pretty high talk there. She raised her eyebrows. " Seriously, I dont think any trainees are competitive enough here as to take out the trainees before class starts. It's not sensible. " Shima pointed out with a smile. After all they were ONLY trainees. What grudge could they hold against each other?
Ramajan introduced himself. it was a name that was a bit difficult to pronounce, so she mouthed it over again.
" Well, Now you know his name. " Shima pointed out, a bit humorous.
" All the new trainees are supposed to gather at their first class. I'll probably be formally introducing myself then. " Shima grinned, as she walked off to the trapezes again.
"Are you ready or not? " She yelled over to Arahila good-natuedly, as she ascended the ladder quickly, trying to get up.

((Haha, sorry, I have to go sleep somtime. heart ))
Arahila smiled at th boy when he finally introduced himself. "Nice to meet you...Ramajan..."
She trailed off at the end to wait and see if she had pronounced it right but the other girl was already half way to the trapeze. Arahila still didn't know the girls name and maybe she had sounded alittle harsh but she couldn't help it. She was scared!
Swallowing visibly, Arahila chocked back another request for the girls name and decided she would just have to trust her if she wanted to try the trapeze. It was something she wanted to try at least once and right now seemed like the perfect chance, plus, she knew she would hate herself if she didn't take it. Moving quickly to follow the girl Arahila took a hold of the ladder and looked up.
"I'm really supposed to climb this? Great..." Arahila said to really no one besides herself before starting on to it very slowly.

Ramajan's eyebrows drew in closer as he watched the two go off. She'd already had her fun, why prolong this nonsence? Did she think she was better than everyone for keeping her name to herself? It would serve the mystery girl right to have another fall due to Arahila's lack of experience.
As much as he wanted to watch - both to support Arahila and in the hopes of seeing the other fall - Ramajan reminded himself that he had come here with other plans in mind and slowly made his way away from the trapeze. Reaching into his pockets he pulled out three bean-bag balls and began absently juggling them. Three took little consentration anymore and it was a fun activity for walking.
He slowly walked by some of the lower aerial apparatus; some rings and other gymnast equipment. Each thing he looked at made him wonder how much time they'd be spending on each. He knew that even those who came knowing exactly what they wanted to do were required to learn multiple skills before concentrating on one aspect.
"In one year... what will I be doing then..." he wondered out loud.

(( I get the feeling Shima left a bad impression on Ramajan xD This will be interesting. :'D))
Instead of, swinging from the trapeze, somehow Shima manged to sit on it? .. One wonders how she got there, but it's not questioned.
Shima swung her legs back and forth, as she waited for Arahila. Shima wasnt exactly sure what she was waiting for but, go figure.
" What do you want to try first? " Shima yelled out to Arahila, across on the opposite side.

Arahila finally reached the top and looked across at the other girl blankly. What did she want to do first?! How about learn how to get on the damn thing!! Her quiet disposition though would never allow her to actually say those words so she gave her an awkward smile and reached out for the bar.
"Umm, I've never actually been on one of these...so do I just hold on and swing?" She looked skeptically at the bar in her hand and the wires it was attached to.
Okay, so this thing is supposed to hold my body weight and I'm going to have to trust that. Same way I have to trust that net down there. I think that if I just put both of my hands unto it...
Arahila gave a quick gasp as she swung foreward, fear and shock crossing her face as her mind went blank.

" Yeah, just hold and swing. Keep doing it until you get the hang of it. "
Shima saw the terrified look on Arahila's face. Most of the time, that happened. But sometimes the first experience also made you never want to go on it again. Arahila didnt.. seem the type to just give up though.
It was mainly trusting the equipment, but Shima knew firsthand about trusting equipment.
" If you feel like you cant hold on, just fall! " Shima called out as Arahila's bar slowly started to stop.
" To swing, its like being on a actual swing. You have to push yourself with your legs back and forth. " Shima tried to explain. If you were on a playground, you move your legs up and down to have the swing move right? It was the same concept.

She didn't like this feeling as much as she thought she would but her training kicked in immediatly and she tightened her body, knowing that in almost anything it was the relaxing of the body that caused you to lose control. Instead, Arahila stiffened and waited for the bar to come to almost a complete stop with her dangling.
Looking to the other girl for a slight reassurance she started to try and swing her body back and forth, using her legs like she would on the swings she used to go on as a child. The trapeze was a lot harder to move then she had thought and she soon found herself biting her lip and letting go, stifiling a slight scream as she felt herself falling.
Bouncing in the net she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. She wasn't dead! And actually, the fall hadn't been nearly as bad or as far as she had originally thought it would be. Rolling to the edges, she climbed off of it and started to make her way back over to the ladder to try again.
