There are railings around the rink!
We can hold onto those until we get our balance.
Or...you can hold onto me if you want. To make sure you don't fall!

i think people hold hands ?
we can do that
if it is ok with you

Yyes! Thats ok
we can definitely hold hands

[and suddenly his spelling has no chill. just like him.]

ok !
ah it is time for class
see you soon
bye bye

[saved.... saved by the bell....

at least up until it's time for them to actually go ice skating later? and anya is waiting outside the school as she said she would be, humming softly to herself to pass the time as she looks around for izuku]

Ah! Bye!

[To say that Izuku is nervous would be an understatement. He's been lost in thoughts about their upcoming date all day, he barely remembers going to class. Any class. And by the time the final bell rings he's coated in a thin coat of sweat that he hopes isn't too noticeable.

Exiting the school, he spots her immediately and takes a big gulp before striding forward.]

A-anya! Hi...[Excellent conversation starter.]

[Someone help Izuku.

Meanwhile Anya's not sure why he looks so nervous? Maybe he had a big test? Ah, maybe she can do something to soothe his nerves. She gives him a smile even as she turns to him and already reaches to take his hand.]

Привет! Hi, Izuku.

[She'd picked up the Russian accent and fluency since the last time they met - but it's something that she's gotten accustomed to since she announced it on the network about a month ago. Automatically, she is heading in the direction of the Stardust, given her familiarity with it.]

I am excited. Are you?

[He hurriedly wipes his palm on his pants as soon as he notices Anya reaching for his hand. He hopes it wasn't too noticeable as he accepts her hand, casting a discreet look around them to see if anyone is watching them. As much as he would like for this to be that kind of date, he doesn't want any strange rumors going around that might scare Anya off before he can confess his feelings.]

A-are you ready to go?

[Probably a dumb question, seeing as she's standing here, outside the school, with her school bag. But he couldn't think of anything else to say. The accent is new since the last time they spoke in person, but he caught her announcement last month so it's not a complete surprise.]

[Scaring Anya off.... Izuku is such a pure and needs so much help. Yet even then, Anya doesn't seem to notice as she takes his hand and laughs faintly.]

Да! Yes.

But I hope you will not laugh when I fall?

[when... not if.... she accepts this part of her life]

N-no! Of course not!

[He scratches his cheek with his free hand. Honestly he'll probably be too busy trying not to fall himself. They sure do make a pair.]

I think if we stay close to the railing we should be fine.

Hehe, I hope so. I do not know how to ice skate as well as some people that I have seen.

[because she's not from an ice skating anime -

but she's laughing as she offers a smile]

But I have been going more lately. I think it is very fun and... изящный? Graceful? So hopefully we will learn.

[He nods in agreement.]

It is very enjoyable to watch. They make it seem effortless. [And it is definitely graceful. Something Izuku is definitely not.]

Yeah! A little practice couldn't hurt.

[And look now, they have reached their destination.]

[They sure are!! And Anya's comfortable here, immediately heading to the place to get their skates and tugging Izuku along. There's a tilt of her head - she looks for her friends that work here and gives a wave when she sees a familiar face.]

Exciting! Ah I will need - [and she gives her ice skate size before turning to Izuku] Do you know what you need, Izuku?

[He notices her familiarity with the place and instantly feels relieved. At least one of them will be comfortable. While he admitted to not knowing how to ice skate well, he left out the part about the fact that he's a total spazz, about as far from graceful as a person can get.

Well...she'll see soon enough.]

Huh? Ah-y-yes! [He gives his size of skates as well.] My skate size isn't very different from my shoe size. Guess I'm lucky in that way. [He accepts his skates and carries them to the nearest bench to change.]

You said it's b-been awhile since you last skated...but you seem to know this place well.

[There are very few places left in the city accessible to the public that Anya hasn't been - but she just laughs faintly at the comment as she moves to tie on her skates.] Yuratchka...

[wait hold on]

Ah - Yuri Plisetsky, he is in our grade? Работа... He works here. So Anya will visit.

Mm, Izuku is on the app, yes? So you know about hallucinomemories... have you had one?

Y-yeah, I know him. I helped tutor him a little months ago. I didn't know he works here though.

I've heard a lot about them, yeah. But I haven't had one. I'd like to take it as a good sign though.

Mm, he does! After dance class, he will do homework there. Or wear the big mascot costume. Cмешной! Very funny.

[she needs to stop making fun of her friends]

But ah, if Izuku has not seen anything he does not like, that is good. Hallucinomemories can be... a mix?
