stevie doesn't know the first thing about cars.

well, he knows how to drive one. and he knows the basics and where the manual is, but he doesn't know the difference between them all. when minkyu asks him to accompany him on a free day, stevie doesn't really get it, but once they get there, he realizes why.

minkyu doesn't understand cars either.

it's more for your mom than me, really he blabbers, already into his third time asking stevie's opinion. it's kind of...pitiful, in a way. he can't even try and act weird around minkyu because he just...feels bad. a car would be a nice gift for his mom, and seeing him helpless and confused has stevie moving into action.

patting the his stepfather adjacent's shoulder while he's in a conversation about car logistics and engine stats-- numbers and stuff stevie can't even begin to understand going over his head-- and darts off to look at the wares. stevie digs out his phone so he can do his own researching-- pausing by a selection of vehicles.

whether it be walking along the streets or gliding across the ice, claudine makes an effort to look as graceful as can be. then again, when she's simply taking a stroll she doesn't need to exert too much effort. it comes with the territory. it's a part of her carefully crafted aura, her luxurious attire and her elegant habits. most of the time, that is. but when she's on the ice, it's not like she can control most of her movements, even if she tries.

claudine doesn't exactly remember how she finds herself in the rink, but she isn't going to sweat the details of that either. it's not like she's completely new to the concept of ice skating, but the last time she had participated in this activity was all the way back in france, her hometown. it has been a long few years since then, other hobbies taking more of her time. truth be told, she doesn't think she's that good anymore—but at least she remembers how not to trip and fall flat on her face.

but it's not graceful enough. she thinks she looks rather stupid, and for some reason, that's bothering her more than the high possibility that she might fall.

either way, her balance is thrown off. still though, she tries to skate as she used to before—at least make it look effortless, somehow. it's not though, and it's made all the more apparent when she nearly slips in front of @bexjo—the most unfortunate bystander.
