One Seashell - Action

[upthere]

[When Ariel burst out of the sea, she had expected to still be in the water. What she wasn't expected was to be stuck up in a tree.

At least, she thinks it's called a tree. Whatever it is, she's stuck in it, and the ground is pretty far beneath her.

She leans over to cling to the trunk of the tree and stares down, wondering how she got up here and how to get down and - and is that... is that the ground?

Then she... She's on the land?

Ariel slowly looks over to her legs. Legs. Legs! She can't help stretching one out, and the shock on her face turns into elation. It worked! The spell worked! Oh, she has to find Eric now! She -

She's so happy that she very nearly falls out of the tree, and she holds tightly to the trunk again. Yeaaah, she should. Probably not move much right now, even for Eric.

Maybe someone will come along...]

[it's the red hair that catches his attention first. Honestly, there's something about the innocent awkwardness that reminds him instantly of Willow. He stops in his tracks, watching her uncertain reactions and taking in just how lost she looks before he ambles over, hands in his pockets]

Try shuffling your feet. If anyone asks, you can tell them you were ice skating.

[action, works for me!]

[Ariel has her hands against the wall at this point, just trying to figure out how to balance by herself. It's one leg in front of the other, right... It seems easy when she watches other people do it, but as for doing so herself? It's a lot harder than she thought.

At the footsteps and the new voice, Ariel stops what she's doing to look at him. And she can't help looking confused, though she still smiles. She has never heard of ice skating before, or skating in general... But she does flex her toes a bit. Is that how one shuffles feet?]
