You went to the mall one day...

Het for smut, unless you're a canonmate.

5!

[mmorstan]

Well, I suppose we should make the most of it here. [Mary sighs, glancing around. How did this even happen?]

[callmeric]

[Alaric has no idea how this happen, or where mall security is. He looks out onto the entertainment center of the mall, a small smile tugging at his lips.] We could ice skate, or maybe play paintball.

[mmorstan]

[Mary, too, glances over to the entertainment center, where the lights are still flashing, all sorts of beeps and buzzes coming from out the door.] How does one play paintball, I have to ask?

I am more inclined to ice skate, though.

[callmeric]

You get a gun with paint cartridges in it, and you run around a field and shoot people with the paint. [And it was really messy, and he decided he didn't want to get paint all over the place. So, he gave her a smile and held out his hand for her to take.]

Let's ice skate. You may have to hold me up since it's been years since I've done it.

[mmorstan]

[Mary slips her hand into his gladly, chuckling.] Oh, I don't think I'm prepared for that sort of thing this evening.

But I am a decent skater.

[callmeric]

So you're going to let me fall on my ass? I see how it is. [He takes her over to the stand where the skates are, and hops over the counter.]

What's your size?

[mmorstan]

Noo, I meant the paintball! [Mary laughs, shaking her head. She leans against the counter and peers at the skates.]

I believe I am a size seven or eight here.

[callmeric]

Oh! My bad. So you won't let me fall on my ass?

[He grabs a pair of sevens and a pair of eights for her so she can decide which one fits her better. Once he puts them on the counter for her, he turns to grab a pair for himself.]

[mmorstan]

Oh, never, Ric. I promise. Though I can't promise that it will be successful, considering my upper body strength and all.

[She takes the skates and sits on the bench across from the counter. Soon, Mary finds that the eights suit her better and returns the sevens.] Ready?

[callmeric]

And I'll try my best not to drag you done with me.

[He finds a pair of skates for himself and puts them on. He then starts toward the rink and almost trips oover his feet.]

I'm not even skating yet, and I've almost fell over already.

[mmorstan]

Oh! [Mary covers her mouth as she gasps, but has to giggle a bit all the same.]

Well, it's just like riding a bike! It will come to you eventually.

[callmeric]

Laugh if you want. I'm sure you'll be doing more of it later.

[He's a little embarrassed, but gives her a smile nonetheless. Alaric then gingerly steps onto the ice, and slips a little before catching himself.]
