Derry had, somehow, got wind of something going on down at the lake. She didn't really want to go close to it, but her friends were there and she didn't like to miss stuff... so, reluctantly, she wandered down there, wrapped up warm in about ten jumpers.

...

Oh... oh... People were skating.

On the lake.

On top of it.

ABOVE ALL THAT WATER.

Were they insane..?

Derry just stood there, kinda frozen, watching... Yes, it was amusing when people fell over, but every time someone hit the ice she felt like it was all going to crack and fall through and... no. Nope. Nuh uh. Derry knew her phobia of lakes and stuff was a tiny bit ridiculous, but right about now it seemed totally rational. Just a huge monster ready to swallow you up if you annoyed it. She didn't see why it was any more ridiculous than being scared of an angry dragon.

But she wasn't going to bother her friends with it, cause they were having fun, so after waving at people, she plonked herself on the floor a little way from the lake's edge and opened her bag, retrieving one of the flasks full of steaming hot chocolate. She'd brought a few of these, enough to go around if anyone wanted some... She kind of signalled at the hot drink, gave people a thumbs up, and settled in to be amused.
