(…Just how adamant were you at not even trying to skate, Kai? I only got to try for about thirty minutes, but even I was getting the hang of it. And I’m a complete newbie… And I only half-fell once…)

“…I just prefer my feet where they can’t fall out from under me. Not like it’s something I need to learn…”

(And if ice were involved at another heist? If the Hakuba’s ever wanted to completely catch you, they know full well you can’t skate… But I do know one who’s expressed interest in teaching you~)

“…So? I doubt they would use that against me… And I doubt I’d be met with it from anyone else… And if I am, I’ll deal with it when it comes… So no need to waste time just sliding around and falling…”

(…Yeah. Keep telling yourself that. I’m sure that won’t come back to bite you…)
