...Yes, but it isn't very interesting for you...

Says who? Watching is interesting.

[ ... :|a ]

Do you want to learn?

...

...

I think I might end up hurting myself if I try.

The fall isn't that bad, and you aren't human... and you can fly, right?

[ Holds up the long pole. ] This would help, too.

Aren't you supposed to have a net... or something... when you learn...?

It takes forever to make one...

But if you're scared of falling you won't ever be able to do it right anyway.

[Bites his lip...

...

Holds his hand out for the pole :x]

[ Staares, not handing it to him. ]

Beginners don't walk the rope on the first day.

[Stares right back]

... Then what do they do?

[ Steps down onto the floor and sets the pole down next to her, motioning for Chrono to back up a step. ]

Stand up straight, one foot in front of the other, toes pointing out. Keep your center of gravity immediately over the area you're standing-- do not move it. Hold out your arms.

...

[A-attempts this?? His ankles aren't used to bending this way... at least flying means he's good at the center of gravity thing]

[ Reaches forward and pushes his shoulders so he leans back, with gentle pressure. ]

[Goes with the motion, standing a bit straighter... taller... not that that's saying much]

[ Does the same from all directions, testing his balance on flat ground before looking somewhat satisfied. ]

I guess I could let you on the rope.

[wait really]

... Are you sure?

You don't need to do any strength training, so it's all balance training from here. It's hard to do off of a rope unless we get more rope and set up a shorter one downstairs or something...

Well... You're the expert.

Are you scared?

I wouldn't call it scared-- apprehensive?

I'm asking if you're afraid, not anything else.

Are you?

...

No.

[ Grabs the pole again, pushing herself up onto the rope with ease. ]

Come on, then. Just onto the rail before the rope.

[Follows, slowly and carefully. His balance isn't terrible, at least]

[ Hands him the pole. ]

Feel free to move it until you find the right balance with the pole. It'll help you balance a lot better. You're going to walk with the rope in the arch of your feet--

No shoes, by the way. Socks only.
