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!
And reach a similar conclusion, based on their content.
He skates a few lazy circles around Autor.
"So how about your first foray into skating? I'm sure it went well."
Re: Ice Rink!
He glances down at the lines the wizard cut into the ice. "But, speaking of things turning out better than I expected," he says, "I'm impressed with your skating, Rabastan. Not half bad, for a neophyte. Not half bad, indeed."
Re: Ice Rink!
"What makes you think this is my first time on skates?"
Because, if you want to get technical, it's not.
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
True. But Autor's gonna have to pull metaphorical teeth to get him to admit that.
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
His smirk is as sharp as a steel trap.
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
He's just not going to rise to the bait right now. If he's going to convince Autor that he's not lying, he has to keep his cool.
"And I meant it when I said it. But it's nice to hear you finally learning what that quote means to you."
Re: Ice Rink!
He leans back again, dangling his bare, bruised ankles over the edge. "It's not a bad thing to be a terrible liar, you know."
Re: Ice Rink!
Pause.
"Lying? What makes you think I'd be lying here?
"Your own personal experience with practising deceit?"
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
Re: Ice Rink!
The kid shrugs. "Anyway, I am in quite a bit of pain over here," he says, kicking his feet in a 4/4 rhythm. "Not all of us have cushioning charms. Enjoy the ice."
Re: Ice Rink!
Pause.
"Speaking of ice... Why not use that on your bruises? Or would you rather a spell to dull the pain instead?"
Re: Ice Rink!
The boy nods, and directs the carpet on a lazy path towards the bar. "So, off I go to slather myself. Don't fall through the rink."
Re: Ice Rink!
"At least consider using some ice on them. You'll be more comfortable, I'd think."
Rabastan then proceeds to levitate the bag over to Autor before he floats off..
