[Jester's definitely not complaining about Fjord's close proximity, giggling as she skates over the bumpy lawn at his blushing.]
I bet he's a really good workout buddy! [She lets him off the hook, her tail whipping as it works overtime to keep her balanced.] Keep at it, you might be stronger than me someday!
[Fjord grins at that, utterly charmed at the whippy little movements of her tail as she works on her balance. Hanging out close enough that she can grab for him if she needs a hand staying up, but trying not to crowd her at the same time.]
Well, I'd be kinda torn then. Like how strong you are, but bein' the strongest would be kinda fun too.
[Once she's done a few wobbly loops on the grass, Jester begins to make her way over to the sidewalk, grabbing Fjord's elbow for balance and hanging on tight.]
I like it, too. But it's pretty cool you can pick me up now! [She huffs, slowly releasing her grip on his elbow as she collects herself and pushes off from one foot. She's a little wobbly, but she manages to roll smoothly down the sidewalk for a few yards, giggling madly the whole way.]
No argument there! Bein' able to carry you is a nice perk. [He's just a little sappy over it. Just a bit. No big deal!
He does chuckle softly as he lets her use him as a support, smile fond even once she lets go and gives the skates a proper try on the sidewalk. Incredibly pleased that she was so very happy with the present he'd found her, enjoying the sound of her laughing.]
Yeah? Seems like once you've got a handle on those, you can be an even zippier menace than usual.
[As she turns, she tucks her heels in a little bit, and her instincts are correctβit helps her turn in a neat circle. On the way back, Jester just sort of rolls into Fjord, her face landing squarely in his chest.]
[Fjord's arms just immediately wind around Jester when she smacks gently into him, a soft, amused little huff slipping from him as he lowers his head to bury his face in her hair.]
Not as much as I love you. [Did he realize he mumbled that into her hair? Maybe! Maybe not! But he did say it!]
[Jester's arms lock a little tighter around Fjord's middle, and she lets out a happy squeak into his chest. For a moment, she doesn't know what to say, like if she says the wrong thing he might bolt. But carefully she pulls back, violet flushed across her cheeks as she gazes mistily up at Fjord.]
[She definitely can feel the start when Fjord realizes that yeah, he absolutely said that out loud. Especially with the way he was blushing in kind when she drew back.]
Well yeah. [How could he even think about trying to side-step it when she was looking at him like that?]
[Jester makes a soft, choked, happy sound, a happy wiggle going through her body.]
That'ssogreat. I love you too. ...Obviously.
[She really does, and it feels so amazing to be able to share that with him again. To know that he's ready for what she'd grown used to so quickly back home.]
