Could a robot really be bored? Could a creature that wasn't really alive or programmed to have completely realistic emotions have them? Well, Tizzy didn't, but she was programmed to realize when humans might be bored, and that gave her an idea of when it was time to do things differently. And since she'd been teaching music and dancing a bunch lately, it was deemed that something completely different was necessary.
So she did "research" on her current student. An odd girl, some might say. She might have fun doing something obscure. And so, the android had set up her room specially. The floor was now heavily padded and there were many cushions. Two poles had been erected with ladders going up the sides and a tight rope between them that could be raised or lowered as need be. Presently it was at a decently low height - barely a few feet off the ground. Great for first timers.

As the days went by Lissy became more and more restless. Moose called it 'cabin fever' due to the vast amounts of snow on the ground, but she knew she was just plain bored. The preteen was so happy to have a new class to attend that she ended up arriving early.
Still, when she walked into the classroom and looked up at the tight rope she thought otherwise. What kind of skill was this? Lissy expected cooking, weaving, knitting- something slow, but this had her curious. "Hey, I'm Elisabetta. I'm here for my class." She slipped off her shoes and walked onto the padding, giggling slightly when she bounced.

"Good day Elisabetta. I am Tizzy. You can see what you shall be learning today. I thought it would be more interesting for you than learning music or dancing." the woman said with a wave of her hand.

"Tight rope walking..?" Elisabetta stepped closer to her instructer and looked at the rope. She wasn't afraid of heights when she was going fast like rollercoasters or plains, but when things slowed down....She gulped with a nervous laugh. "Good call. I can't sit still for long, so I probably wouldn't be very good with music."

"Yes. So let's see how you are with this." the woman said with a nod, showing Lissy over to the ladder. "Just test your weight on it at first and see how you can do with that."

"What, already?" She couldn't help the squeeky quality that entered her voice. Lissy stared up at the rope and licked her lips before stepping tentatively up the ladder. It may not have been very high up, but the mental 'what ifs' were endless. "You can do this, girl. Just like riding a bike~"
Her longer tentacle banged against the ladder rings while the chibi peered around her waist at Tizzy. When she got to the top, Lissy stood on the platform and without looking down, snaked her foot onto the rope only to have it immediately slip off. She squeeled and hunkered down.

Tizzy walked under and pushed Lissy's foot back up. "This is why you hold onto the edges till you have your footing. I shall be here to catch you iff need be and the mat is there and soft." the woman explained, "You must relax and get a feeling for it."
