[camena]

[ she tries to do a kickflip!! and pulls off the trick itself, but like immediately after landing, loses her footing and falls off the board and onto her butt. ]

... Like that! But without falling. [ haha. ow. ]

[dendroculi]

[eep!]

Are you okay? Do you need me to heal you?

[camena]

[ she hops back upright! ]

I'm good. Butt's a little sore, but that's the risk you run with skateboards.

[dendroculi]

...it must be very fun for you to keep doing it anyway, then.

[camena]

[ hmm, her emotions do a little dip down, but it's fine. ]

It's something to do.

[dendroculi]

[oh... her ears droop a little at that and there's a spike of concern.]

...have you tried any of the others? The bikes, and the... rollerskates?

[camena]

[ don't worry about it. ] I'm decent at both, but they're not really as fun. I prefer the skateboard.

I get the feeling you might like the skates, though.

[dendroculi]

[ ? ]

What makes you say that?

[camena]

I dunno. They're easy to pick up and just start zooming around with.

[dendroculi]

Zooming...

[that does sound fun... she'll start looking around to see if she can find a pair of skates in her size.]

[camena]

[ does she just think nahida would look really cute skating around? perhaps. who's to say. in the meantime alex is trying to do a kickflip again and. mostly just messing up but not falling down at least? ]

[dendroculi]

[she comes back with a pair of skates and sits down to put them on. it takes a little bit because she's still not totally used to, like, real shoes that she has to lace up and everything, but she manages eventually.

she's watching alex work on her kickflips as she ties off the laces, though.]

[camena]

[ yeah she just keeps messing up but it's fine. ]

So do you have stuff like this in your world, or?

[dendroculi]

Not exactly... there are carts and wagons, of course, but I haven't seen anything like these before.

[smash cut to fontaine giving us skateboards idk]

[camena]

[ i hope they do. i want to see genshins skateboard. ]

Probably can't do a lot of tricks with something like that...

[ she's joking ]

[dendroculi]

[tries to imagine it and then chuckles, shaking her head]

It would be very impressive if someone did.

[camena]

We've got cars where I'm from—I'm kind of assuming you guys don't have cars. And they're like motorized wagons, basically? But anyway, people do tricks with them. They're really dumb.

[dendroculi]

[ ??? ]

What sort of tricks do they do?

[camena]

They make them really big and then run over other cars.

[dendroculi]

...why...

[camena]

No, it's cool!

[dendroculi]

But wouldn't running over the other cars destroy them?

[camena]

Haha. Yeah.

They're empty, though! They're lined up like an obstacle course.

[dendroculi]

An obstacle course...

[huh. she's trying to picture it, but she probably doesn't have the right frame of reference for it.]

[camena]

It's stupid, but it's funny.
