"Seems likes it," she agreed from her frozen throne. "But yeah, one more lap." Quick and easy as wrangling a ragdoll Gordie hefted her back onto the thin blades strapped to her feet. She gripped his thick biceps as she found her balance once again. Dark blond brows quirked up as he still held on with a grin. She nearly lost her footing again as he reached back to dust off the ice crystals still clinging to her backside. "Hey now-" was all she managed to say before the sudden grip and pull against that broad chest.<br/><br/>Utterly frozen and not just because her ass had been treated to an icy seat. With her mind functioning at the speed of Windows 98 she hardly processed before Gordie pulled back. The quips and challenges lost in the thrumming ring in her ears. Who had set off a flashbang at the rink? Song of Ice and Fire indeed her butt was frozen and her ears on fire. For a moment Irene just stood there lost in time. Hands propped on her hips and she puffed her cheeks, releasing a long breath between loose lips. Definitely going to need that one more lap. Pushing off she started off for the last lap. Unsurprisingly Gordie made it all the way around the rink, turning to skate backwards as he passed her with a shit-eating grin. Show off.<br/><br/>Far more careful she slowed down to a near stop before gripping the sides of the rink and stepped off the ice. Well she had been right, ice skating was a great glute workout. Gordie was proof enough. Irene hobbled awkwardly to the bench before dropping down to unlace the skates. "Yeah, but next time we work on stopping," she said as she pulled off the skates and slipped her feet back into her black boots. Her lips pursed a moment as he brought up that surprise kiss again before quirking into a lopsided grin. She gave a short snort of a laugh and shook her head. "Bass-ackwards for sure....better watch out of I might have to pay you back." Well at least she didn't hit him. "Yeah let's go, don't think I need a hoodie for the beach," she said as she slung the skates over her shoulder.<br/><br/>The second they were back out in the warm sun Irene heaved a relieved sigh. She did not get along well with the cold. For the walk back she left all the cold weather gear on, warm and sweaty by they time they got to the dorms. She was quick to pull it all off and toss it into a basket for laundry. Her hair was a mess from being under the knit cap. With a bit of spray gel she scrapped it back down to a neat, perfect bun. She'd never bothered to buy a swim suit so she opted for the usual: black leggings, black boots, and a<a class="link link--external" href="https://media.mwstatic.com/product-images/src/primary/997/997637.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">graphic tank top</a>. Phone-wallet in one pocket, cigarettes and lighter in the other, Oakleys over her green eyes, and a tightly rolled towel under her arm she headed out to meet Gordie in the hall. "Let's roll," she said and gave his hindquarters a swift smack as she passed him. "Pay-back.<br/><br/>Irene lit up a cigarette, the nicotine very much needed, and was careful to move herself downwind of Gordie. No one else needed to suffer for her substance addictions. The beach wasn't far from the dorms and familiar faces were easy to spot at a distance. "Everyone," she said with a short, sharp two fingered salute from her brows. "Nice t'see y'all again." Gordie's offer made her tilt her head as she finished off the cigarette and stamped it out on the bottom of her boot, tossing the butt in a nearby garbage can. "Wine's good for me," she said as he yanked off the jersey. Yew. "Chilled white, bit warm for a red."<br/><br/>"Erin, Cammi," she said as she walked over to the girls, happily provided some libations, and rolled out her towel to sit with them. She eased herself down, stretching out her right leg with a relieved sigh. Sand was not entirely friendly to walk in. "I see the workouts are paying off," she said with a glance to Erin over her sunglasses.<br/><br/><b>Locations: </b>Ice Rink-->Dorms-->Beach<br/><b>Speaking with: </b>Gordie(<a class="username" data-user-id="18515" data-username="@BennyQ" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/18515/">@BennyQ</a>), Erin(<a class="username" data-user-id="21745" data-username="@Aluora" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/21745/">@Aluora</a>), and Cammi(<a class="username" data-user-id="34449" data-username="@alona98" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/34449/">@alona98</a>)
