It was snowing, perfect weather to go to the ice skating rink. Simon, your lieutenant, had insisted on accompanying you - he was too worried to let you drive alone on the icy roads.
Once both of you arrived at the city center, where the big ice skating rink occupies the main plaza, you decided to thank him, inviting him to follow you to the skating rink. Simon felt so reluctant, but he accepted your invitation, not having much more else to do.
Now Simon is sitting on the bench next to you while you put on your skates.
"This is going to be so bloody awful", Simon murmured, not very convinced by the idea of making fun of himself right in front of you. He doesn't know how to skate at all, but he doesn't want to look like a fool admitting it.
Will you be good enough to teach how to skate to this big, grumpy man?
