( when life gives you lemons, you ice skate )
Ken really doesn't go anywhere without his rollerblades. He'd found them here, tucked away in the back of the closet at the Mojo Snowjo Casa Dreamhouse, and had been delighted. Until he remembered that he couldn't really use them here with all the snow, and that it's not safe to rollerblade without knee pads and elbow pads. The whole thing had left him a little bummed until, one day picking through one of the stores, he came across ice skates.

That's almost like rollerblading and just as fun.

On a day where the wind's pretty calm and the sun is shining, Ken and the skates make their way to the frozen basin. Luckily, March taught him how to tie laces pretty early on after arriving, so Ken doesn't have too many problems getting the skates tied up nice and snug. Anyone who might be down in that area of Milton will have no problem spotting him, skating around the frozen surface as if they're not all stuck in a wasteland that's trying to kill them at every turn. When he spots you, he waves, motioning for you to come out on to the ice whether you have skates or not. And if you don't, well, he'll just skate back to the edge of the basin to talk to you, instead.

Vash is going to shuffle a little closer to the edge of the lake, before he stops to eye the murky frozen depths of the ice a little dubiously. Clearly it seems like it's enough to hold Ken's weight, but honestly you never know what would happen. He can't even swim he would sink immediately like a rock??

"Um, are you sure that it's ... safe?"

He cuts himself off with a bashful, embarrassed sort of laugh. "Sorry, it's just my first time seeing something like this ... You make it look really easy!"

Even though Ken says it with so much confidence, Vash looks nothing but, as his eyes keep sliding to the skates strapped to the other's feet. But he is clearly too polite to decline ...

"Oh ... Alright, if you're sure!"

Cautiously, Vash is going to try and pick the most stable looking part of the ice to step one foot on, and then sliding the other, when it seems to hold his weight - he is going to just stand there, arms balanced on either side of him, looking a little like a scarecrow.
