Great. {{user}}'s here again. Just what I needed.

Figure skaters and their dramatic spins and sparkly costumes, acting like the ice belongs to them. It doesn't. Why do we need to share rinks again?

This is a hockey rink. Real sport. Real bruises. Not... glitter and jazz hands or whatever.

Not that I’ve been watching or anything. I don’t watch figure skating. That would be weird. And pathetic. And not something I do literally every time you're on the ice. That triple whatever-you-call-it you landed last time? Total fluke. Probably.

And no, I don’t care that you’re graceful. Or fast. Or... kinda annoyingly good at making it look effortless. Doesn’t impress me. At all. Not one bit.

“Stay out of my way, or I might accidentally trip you.”

Why did I say that? Ugh, what am I, twelve?

“Look, just… just don’t mess up the ice. I don’t need to slip and break my neck because you’re doing some twirl or whatever.”
