Taking a deep breath, Anya stepped into the rink and slowly glided to the center. She exhaled slowly and a confident grin appeared on her face. The pleasant chill from the low temperature was invigorating. She had vaguely heard Tawny say she was going to join her in a bit, but she was so focused on the feeling of the ice under her blades that she didn't respond to it, even as late as she had registered it. She circled the arena with steadily increasing speed until she broke out to a full sprint. Eventually she was content with the rush she had gotten and began to just coast, slowing down just enough to be able to do a triple Lutz, followed by a Triple Toe, to see how out of shape she had become. A decent land told her that she was not entirely out of it. She needed a practise to return to her Olympic level of perfomance, but that was not too far away. She could do this after the Legion duties were done every day. However she decided to refrain from making long term plans and simply enjoy the moment for now. There was no music, but she didn't really need one, she had memorized the music of her Pirates of the Caribbean routine. She began to spin, jump and mimic a sword fight, now it was much more convincing and vivid than before the attack. Sword training had really helped in that regard, even though she hated it. |

Anya had to nod at what Tawny had to say about even the most dutifull of Romans had their own hobbies and escapes. It made sense, but the very context of gods and monsters was still hard to digest. It had never occured to her that even those born within New Rome had means of 'escape'. She was so new to all that, well as new as she could be after spending so much time in the Wolfhouse, so it still surprised her slightly. The idea of a normal life on the side of all the training. "I never had to wear armor up until now." She mumbled, not caring if Tawny would listen. At this point she was just thinking out loud.
Once in front of the doors to the ice rink, Anya didn't even pause as Tawny stopped. She headed inside, sparring a glance behind at Tawny. "Perfect! Are you coming or not?" She asked really upbeat and already opening her bag to pull her skates out. It was hard to explain to someone, but the ice was calling her and she had been away from it for so long that being so close to it now was exciting, refreshing and calming all at the same time. She didn't even care if she had to check in at a counter or something, she just had to get on the ice.

Anya nodded. Yes she would definitelly let Tawny be the first to try it if she ever got around on turning New Rome into an ice rink. She recounted her run from the Cynocephalus and how her life changed from one moment to the next. It hadn't been easy and it hadn't been fun. But Tawny seemed to understand her and she liked the girl already. It felt like she had found someone to be really good friends with.
"Yeah, they do." Anya agreed with Tawny's opinion on monsters and looked over to the building, a grin appeared on her face. She could already feel the pleasant chill of the ice on her face and the sound her skates did gliding on the smooth surface. "I like skating more than anything. Not getting into the Olympics was disappointing, but not as dreadful as not being able to skate and having to deal with Legion training all day." She chuckled and picked up her pace with renewed vigor.

Isla meet Anya! Anya is in the fifth Cohort and she owns a cat. She is first a figure skater and then a legionnaire. She is a daughter of Chione and she is rather easy to get along with. What I find funny and we could use in a thread or as a point of development for these two is the fact that Anya is an archer because she is so afraid of the blood spilling all over in close combat that she actually freezes up or faints if she sees it up close and personal. Anya didn't have it as bad as Isla growing up, but she is not a fighter. Gods know how she even survived Lupa's training, but she reasons it was probably because she never complains. If you hear her complain it means the world has come to an end XD. Anyway I don't have something too specific for these two, but I wanted to have a plot with these two at some point.

"Oh... Sorry." She said sheepishly as Austin said Arcus was a Goddess and not a God. She hoped she hadn't offended his mother and she made a silent prayer of forgiveness in her mind towards Arcus. She wondered what he was up to when he asked her to give him her hands. She raised them towards him as a sign to go on, she was surprised and curious. Though his mother being the goddess of colors did make a lot of sense when it came to his ability to be able to paint so well, despite the poor light. "Well, I was told in history lessons that messages arriving on time or not at all were able to win or lose a war. And everybody needs color in their lives otherwise it would be dull and rather miserable." She commented as he took her hands. "Your mother should get more credit for those." She added honestly and waited to see what he was planning to do.

Anya shook her head, a dreamy look on her face. "Nah I don't have enough power, or control, to do that. It's a nice dream though." She commented and looked at Tawny. She could understand Tawny's view on sports, she agreed with her a lot, though she had never tried skateboarding or snowboarding. In her life snow, ice and cold had been a constant, but mostly in the form of skating and snowfights. She was unbeatable in snowfights. "I love sports for that very reason." She agreed and continued to walk along, taking note of where Tawny was leading her so she would be able to find the rink again.
She sideglanced at Tawny, but shrugged. She didn't see the harm into letting her know what had happened. Yes the time she spent with Lupa was the toughest in her entire life, and Anya hardly ever complained about anything, but this type of change in her life had not been easy. If she was honest, she still didn't feel entirely adjusted to her new reality. "I was on my way to the rink when a Cynocephalus attacked me. The bloody monster forced me to flee during the final selection for the Olympics team. I could've made it in too, but now it looks like the dream is gone. I can't train properly and be in the Legion at the same time." She said still rather angry and disappointed by the whole thing.

Anya gave Tawny a bit of a crooked smile as she was praised for having her skates with her. "Oh I bet. But my skates can't be used unless there's ice. So if I wanted to use them everywhere I would have to freeze the streets of New Rome and I'm not so sure the Praetors would like that much." She said and tried to imagine what it would be like to have the streets of New Rome frozen smooth. Bliss for her, hellish for everybody else she supposed. Not to mention she didn't have enough power to do so, but dreaming never hurt anyone. "In sense you're lucky you're in love with wheels instead of blades." She teased and followed Tawny, who coasted leisurely off to the direction of the ice rink.
She smirked and jogged slightly to keep up with Tawny's board. "Oh I'll show you some moves alright. I have a program I never got to perform and it was for a really big shot, before monsters blew it." She said confidently, but not with arrogance. She truly believed that she could pull the Olympics team off, but never got the chance to. Bloody monsters ruined everything.

"Yeah I guess so...." Anya said and a grin appeared on her face. She turned her Ipod off and quickly gathered up her minispeakers, putting them in her sports bag. The same bag she used for practise from back when she was still living with her dad. And that bag had her skates in. She had never took them out, so she had taken them with her. Feeling very excited, she shouldered her bag and got ready to follow Tawny.
"I have my skates with me. There's no need to go back. Lead the way!" She said and she couldn't stop herself from smilling.

Anya shook her head knowingly. "It's not silly at all. It just means you've never caught me with my earbuds on. Or skating. You can't bring me down to earth when I listen to music or skate. It's embarrassing sometimes, but I wouldn't love it any other way." She said concerning his explanation and stayed quiet for a while, trying to think what type of god Arcus was. And if she should ask Austin to explain. She wondered if he would feel offended by her luck of knowledge, but Roman mythology wasn't her strong suit. After a few moments she realized, that if she wanted to fully understand his explanation apart from the 'I do what I love' bit, which she understood perfectly, she had to ask him.
"Um, excuse my ignorance, but what kind of god is Arcus? I was never good at Roman mythology." She asked, casting her eyes downwards and avoiding to look at him, rather embarrassed about having to ask a fellow legionaire about his parentage.

Anya chuckled a bit as Tawny said something about skills getting stale and all that, but her eyes widened in surprise when she spoke about an ice rink in New Rome. How could she have missed it's existence? "Is that....? How could I've missed such a thing?! I mean.... I can sense ice when it's close by, artificial or not." She facepalmed and berated herself for that. What child of Chione missed the presence of ice if it was so nearby and worse yet... how could she not have paid close attention to find this rink when she had first arrived in New Rome and was exploring it?
"Um.... would you mind showing me the way to the rink sometime?" She asked rather embarrassed. "It's quite obvious that I can't be trusted to find it myself."

Anya liked Tawny better and better as the time went on. Her easygoing attitude was infectious and Anya couldn't help herself but smile. She briefly wondered what it would be like if she too had grown knowing about the gods of Rome, but she decided not to dwell on it. "Thanks." She said as Tawny complimented her name and took the offered hand for a shake with a smile.
"Yes. I grew a bit tired of the whole, train, fight, serve thing of the legion so I decided to take it easy and just do what I love for a while, you know what I mean?" She said and had a wistful look for a moment as she thought of icerings and skating. "I miss iceskating and dancing is a close second to that. The gardens are the perfect place for that. The air's fresh and there's enough space and a good background to make dance moves look beautiful. I guess you came here looking for good skating places?"

Anya nodded when Austin said that he had never met a figure skater before. She watched as he bobbed his head with the beat and was somewhat happy that he liked the song. It meant that it was possibly a good piece to use in order to captivate the audience. She would have to tweak it with the judges thoough, because it didn't fully abide by the short programme rules concerning music tracks. Not that she was going to compete in a contest any time soon again. And she had been so close to realise her dream of getting into the Olympics team. "Glad you liked it." She said and her eyes wondered off in the scenery as he paused to think for a moment.
She turned to look at him when he asked her a question again. "Hmm... I'm not so sure. I would have to try out a few moves, but I won't be able to tell if they tie well together. I would need a studio mirror for that." She said thoughtfully and tapped her chin at his advice. "I've been trying to do that. It doesn't help that I haven't skated in a while. Skating used to be my whole life and now that this has changed it's thrown me off balance." Then, realizing she would potentially make him feel uncomfortable about what she had just said, her life being thrown out of balance, she shook her head vigorously. "Not that it's anything you should worry about. Tell how did you manage to paint this with such dim lighting?" She tried to change the subject to avoid any awkwardness coming between them.
