Sylvain said I needed to record something to tell you to leave a message, even though if you're bothering to message me in the first place you already know what you're supposed to do, so this is pointless. So...leave a message, I guess. Maybe I'll get back to you. Maybe I won't.

We should.

[It's not far from their impromptu training ground back to the hotel, and once there, Felix stops to pick up not one, but two things: his skates, and his gym bag with a certain Pokeball in it.

He also pauses for just a minute to look in the mirror, to see the garland. He barely recognizes himself, wearing such a thing, with the little smile that happens when he sees it. He's reminded of seeing himself in the wedding photos, too, and thinking he looked so unfamiliar. He doesn't really know how to feel about...well, feeling happy? It sounds ridiculous when he puts it like that...ugh, whatever.

Once he's finished with that nonsense, he goes out to meet Dimitri in the hall again.]

[Dropping by the inn works to Dimitri's advantage too, since he can grab his own skates. Even if there hadn't been something in town, then there was still the Ice Path nearby to p lay around in. He doesn't quite mind it, honestly... Although that probably says something about where he grew up and the five years he spent living on his own, quite honestly.]

[When Felix comes back out, Dimitri offers him his hand again with a smile.]

We won't be able to do any of the more flashy skating, if we want to keep the garland on.

[bestswordmaster]

[Felix takes the hand readily, even if he doesn't acknowledge having done so at all.]

Mm. There is one spin I'll need to do, but it won't work until the sun goes down. So that's all right.

[He tugs on Dimitri's hand as he heads back down the stairs.]

[nastyboy]

[Well, if Felix wants to drag him around, Dimitri is more than fine with that. They're both going in the same direction in the end anyway. There's no harm to it.]

[And he's more interested in what Felix is implying as well, blinking at his lover's hair.]

It won't work until the sun down? I can't recall a spin like that.

[bestswordmaster]

[Felix makes a noncommittal sort of noise.]

It's for Lysithea's Milcery. It requires a certain kind of spinning and Pokemon confections to evolve. Lysithea was apparently waiting for it to decide on which flavor it wanted, so...the Milcery and I made a decision."

He shrugs, like this is all totally normal and no big deal.
