[ Ah, she's agreed... he sighs in relief a little, then gives her his best smile. ]
It'll be fun, I promise. [ as if that's what she's worried about. ] As long as you don't mind a bit of a walk...?
[ ...vague idea of residential areas and the rink is in tisse so. ]

[... No idea what that initial exclamation meant, but Sakura's second language herself and can roll with it. Fighting back a giggle, she nods and grasps Anya's hands in greeting.]
Okay. Then you can call me Sakura if you prefer? It's a pleasure to meet you.
[Unflinchingly polite, this one. And with the introductions out of the way, she'll glance behind her at the gym.]
Have you... been here before?

Then dress warmly. Do you mind if I leave this here...? [ The gift she got him, he means; he lifts it a little for emphasis. ] I'll be walking you home, of course, so I'll just retrieve in then.

[She's heard of Retrospec granting full understanding of languages to people, but taking it away? Sakura stares wide-eyed before it occurs to her that's probably rude, hands coming up in apology.]

[Shaking her head, Sakura offers a smile, and turns to gesture to the front door of the gym. They can chat while they walk.]
