Comments

[chenqing_player]

Wei Wuxian snorts softly. His mind went to a terrible place as it so easily does. It takes all the effort he has to avoid making a comment about that question. Since he is trying to teach him it is better if he is on his best behavior.

"Well depends on the circumstances but I guess in this instant I'd rather have you in front."

[neverjedi]

He blinks at the snort, realizes what he said and bursts out laughing.

Then pivots around to get in front of Wei Wuxian, but facing him and starts skating backward. "Your wish is my command and I am so sorry I set you up for that."

Still laughing.

[chenqing_player]

"You should be sorry. Do you know how difficult it was to resist such an easy set up?" He grins as he moves along with him. "I may be your student but I'm not as innocent as your kids." He is far more shameless.

[neverjedi]

"We're going to leave you with the impression all my students are the little kids, and not talk about how bad that would have been with the couple of teenagers I coach..."

He's still laughing, at himself.

"Gold star for not taking the opportunity?"

[chenqing_player]

He laughs and there is a little bit of a wobble but he manages to straighten himself. "Well at least I managed a gold star. That's quite the achievement. I didn't get many of those when I was a teenager."

He was a fairly well behaved kid but a trouble maker as a teen. He definitely would have been one of those in the class that wouldn't have held back any comments if such an easy chance appeared.

[neverjedi]

"Oh really?" he skates backward, still, eyebrows up and curious. "Total smart-ass or real trouble?"

No judgement, just curiosity.

[chenqing_player]

"Both?" He smirks, clearly not ashamed of how he behaved. "I didn't really like authority much so every chance I got to mess with the teachers...I did so. But I also was smart and did well so it made them hesitate about disciplining me."

Which mean Wei Wuxian got away with a lot and was smart enough to get away with things people couldn't even pin on him.

[neverjedi]

He laughs, just a little. "I've always been a people pleaser and more so when the person was an authority figure, but I know the type and even I managed to get into some trouble over performing got me out of. You would probably have been a kid I considered 'cool' and was intimidated as hell by."

[chenqing_player]

"I still am cool but not at all intimidating." Wei Wuxian had always made friends easily and if there were people who were intimidated by him, he never noticed. He always tried to friend everyone he has ever met.

"Well now we get to be friends and you don't have to worry about being intimidated."

[neverjedi]

He laughs. "I am absolutely going to be your friend, and I am way harder to intimidate after a couple of olympics than I was when I was a kid - so you can maybe be a little intimidating and not have me melt."

Consider yourself adopted - in return, maybe, but adopted.

[chenqing_player]

He is glad to be adopted to go along with his gold star and ice skating lessons. Talking at least helps him stay distracted from the fact that he is on ice. "Good to know I don't have to turn the intimidation off completely."

But now he is curious about something else, "Did you to go the Olympics for skating? Is that why you teach it now?"

[neverjedi]

"A couple of times. Once in pairs, once just men's. I teach now because I love it, but I love it way more than it loves me." There's a joke in there, really.

[chenqing_player]

"Impressive. I didn't realize I had an all-star coach showing me the ropes." He's clearly amused. He doesn't think he'll really be able to skate any better because of it but at least he feels better knowing that his teacher really is quite capable.

[neverjedi]

"I'm not actually showing you much, just acting like training wheels, but thanks." He's kind of wryly amused because-

Well, he's him.

He doesn't really consider it impressive.

[chenqing_player]

"Training wheels is enough. I don't really want to try any of those fancy jumps or spins." Just not falling down is a good enough goal in his mind.
