The sun silently beats down on the grounds, waves of heat radiating off of everything. But then, a soft rumble begins. It grows louder and louder, starting in the mountains and crashing down down down until a great roaring avalanche of snow arrives...
The calm returns but the blistering heat is gone. "How's that, Autor?" Mia asks.
The boy smiles shyly at her, his warm, knitted scarf demonstrating a clear gradient of skill from raw novice to advanced beginner. "It's lovely," he says, squeezing her fingers in his gloved ones. "Thank you, Mia." Releasing them, he turns and places a hand on his hip to watch the next step.
At the mouth of the inlet a narrow cliff juts out into the water, covered by a thin layer of soil to which a mat of short grass is clinging, littered with demon bunny droppings. On this ledge, Korra stands, her feet planted firmly against the ground. Starting with that wide stance, Korra moves a foot and then pushes her arms in front and up, causing the lake bed to shift, and the waters to part as a narrow ledge of earth divides a smaller pond away from the larger lake.
Turning into the inlet, she leaps onto the surface and slides out into the center on a shelf of ice that stretches out in larger and larger crystals as it thickens beneath her. In the center of what will be the ice rink, Korra stops, and takes one calm, centering breath.
And then with her eyes closed she moves again, this time much more fluid in her motions, turning a slow circle on the ice with her arms in front of her, swaying as her weight shifts from foot to foot. A bubble of water rises in front of her, and as she pushes out, the bubble expands, passing through Korra so she's standing in the center of an ever expanding air filled bubble of water, stretching further and further out so by the time it hits the shore any onlookers will feel the cool sensation of water vapor from a fountain. She shifts her movement again, and the snowflake patterns of ice crystals appear at the top and the spread around the bubble, crystallizing and solidifying in a lattice of clear ice.
Then Korra opens her eyes, and finishes the rink as she slides back to the shore. There, a further turn and a sweeping gesture towards one side shatters a large hole in the side, perfect for a double door.
"Neat trick, Avatar," Autor says, accompanied by a saucy grin and an informal salute. With a few simple words, Mia sets a flurry fluttering down in the dome.
Once the rink is complete, the boy heads off to help an industrious ten-year-old set up the food and drinks table. There are some things too heavy for Rae to lift.

Re: Ice Rink!
"No problem. First time skating?"
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
He offers her his arm.
"I'm Tommy. What's your name?"
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
As in...Sunshine?
Something clicks in his head, but his eyes might be playing tricks on him. Either that, or Milliways is playing tricks on him. He figures it's Milliways.
"Okay, uh-- Rae. Well. Uh. First thing before you get moving is finding your center of balance. Basically if you can stand on the ice without falling, you've found it. Try to relax and keep your feet apart, knees bent a little. Oh and if you do feel like you're gonna fall, try to force yourself to fall on your butt -- I know, it's gonna hurt, but trust me, it'll hurt a lot less than if you end up falling on your knees or hands."
Re: Ice Rink!
"So... knees bent, feet apart..." She's still wavery, but standing still, she seems mostly okay. Keeping her feet under her when there is momentum (intentionally or not) may be her problem.
Re: Ice Rink!
Tommy braces himself as well, in case she flails.
"Now, once you feel like you've got that, just push off with one foot..."
Re: Ice Rink!
"Then what?" she says quickly, uncertain where to go from here and feeling her balance waver as her slight momentum slows. There are flaily-arms as she tries to keep what balance she has.
Re: Ice Rink!
He hovers close by, ready to catch her if she flails out of control.
Re: Ice Rink!
"Ow..." That ice is even harder than it looks.
Re: Ice Rink!
"Sorry, sweetie! You looked like you were doin' okay."
He gives her a hand up.
"Why don'tcha just hold onto me and we'll go around the rink a couple times, see if we can find your footing."
