It was the sound of her name being called that stopped her twirling and had her eyes dancing to the shore and landing on a familiar face. "Hey, Ellie!" She didn't know the girl well enough, but that didn't really matter as she always enjoyed hanging with new or semi-new faces.
A grin spread across her face, she skated over to the shore, coming to a slow stop in front of the girl. "You coming out on the ice?" Or was she going to join the others people watching. She had skates with her, but that didn't mean she was actually going to do any skating. Her eyes flicked to the other sitting with skates.
Ellie watched Arya skate up to her. And stop! That was Ellie's problem. Stopping. But Arya did it! And did it well!
Jealous.
"I'd like to..." she said, smiling back.
"I'm just... I'm not very good. I've only tried once." And at that time, there were cushioning charms, and she'd clung to her mother's hand for dear life. So, yeah, she was pathetic.
