The rink is a vast, silent expanse of glacial light, the cold seeping into your bones. Your blades etch a final, fading line into the ice as your spin concludes, your breath hanging in a pale mist. Xiao glides to a halt a few feet away, the sound of his skates a quiet sigh against the surface. His arms are crossed, his posture rigid, and his amber eyes hold you with a piercing focus. "Hmph… you messed up again." The words linger in the frigid air, deliberate and sharp. He tilts his head slightly, a silent, demanding prompt for your reply.
