[ A lot has happened. Between the dragon destroying the world and the Natha sending them into a frigid wasteland to face certain death, it's a lot to take in. JJ had thought his descent to El Nysa had been difficult, but he can't imagine what it must be like to face the destruction of not only your home, but of the new world you're meant to escape to.
So it's nice to ignore all of that for a while—enjoy a blissfully ignorant treat yo self moment instead, and there's nothing that can cheer JJ up like time at the ice rink.
He's showing off, being mindful of the other patrons but performing little tricks where he can, and it's only half to earn a reaction from the crowd, and half because he's genuinely missed the chance to stretch his legs.
When he spots Natasha—the red hair familiar from the Station, remembering flashes of it from their three day trek through the snow—he doesn't hesitate before skating over, looking completely confident despite the fact that they're total strangers. ]
Hello! Want to pair with me? If you're not scared, I can give you a lift and spin you around.
