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.

[Pauses, climbing back down so that he can pull his boots off and set them aside. Then standing on the rail again, considering the rope seriously.

Why am I even doing this

...

This would be easier with chainspine :T]

[ if you cut my tightrope i'll cut you ]

Now, rope against the arch of you feet, always be aware of your center of gravity. No matter how your body moves, it must always be above the rope and nowhere else.

[I'm not going to cut your tightrope gosh!!!

Inches one foot onto the rope, then the other... Ssllllowly... why am I doing this]
