Kurumi brushed some of the snow off Helena's robes. "Ready to try walking again? You can hold onto me as hard as you want," Kurumi said with a wink.
Helena's face had brighten up as she heard Kurumi was not mad at her. "
True," she nodded, after Kurumi told her about the 'tumbling seven times and recovering eight' thing.
"
Okay. One more time."
And here we go again. This time, Helena walked a liiiitle more confident, but her legs were still trembling on the ice. Don't fall. Don't fall. Good. She didn't fall! "
I think I'll go back now," she finally spoke. "
I've had enough ice for today." Looking back, she seemed to be soooo far away from the ground.
