As she skate-bladed about the rink, she laughed with the professors who were having such a hard time on just one kind of skate. Not that she was by any means agile on two. She was about to skate over to see if she could help when she heard a voice right behind her.

"Oh, piskey sting!" she shouted, using Gram's second favorite curse (second favorite only to "billywig rot", popular in Tora's vocabulary as well). She swing her arms and slipped backwards over her right (rollerblade) foot before remembering that her left foot (the roller skate) was sturdier and plopping on her butt. As she righted herself, she grabbed onto her assaulter's shoulder to maintain balance and felt her easily aroused temper spike.
"Well, I'm obviously not doing it anymore," she snapped before growling "What'd you do that for anyway?!"

Once she actually regained an upright position, realized who she was talking to, and how badly they seemed to be skating, she grinned and crossed her arms. Just to prove that she didn't need them for balance. She tilted her head back and looked up at the... sixth year? Maybe seventh she wasn't sure. Older student anyway, and restated her question a bit nicer. "You need some help with skating? Why don't you try two different kinds?" she was smiling though she was still a bit curious as to why (among EVERYONE there) no one else had bothered to try two different kinds of skates.
... Oops.

The boy grimaced. He wasn't MEANT to make her fall over like that. Not at all! He was just meant to come up to her and ask her a simple question about the mix and match action that was going on with her shoes. And yet... FROWN. He held onto her, though, using the wall to steady the two of them. ... Alec... had a lot of questions, especially about 'oh piskey sting'. He was used to hearing a lot of curses and phrases but if there was one thing he hadn't heard, it was 'oh piskey sting'.

... BLINK. BLINK.

It was obvious to the seventeen year old that this girl was friends with Adrienne. Or, at least, he was sure they'd get along, if they didn't know each other already. Maybe he could give her a heads up about it and introduce them to each other. Maybe. If they didn't end up going against him and planning his downfall. "I... I didn't mean..." His voice faltered. ... No! Strong man wizard. Yeah. Clearing his throat, he continued, "I didn't do it on purpose!" Would the puppy dog eyes work on her...?

... And now he was confused? Why? Because angry girl was not grinning. He was curious to know exactly why she was grinning at him like that. Not that he minded if it was anything nice but... if it wasn't... "I probably do..." ... Wait... WHAT?! Two different kinds?! His complexion paled. "Are you kidding me? I can't even manage one kind of shoes," he said, motioning at the roller skates strapped onto his feet, "Two seems..." He looked down at her shoes and gulped. "... more than difficult."

One thing was for certain, though; he could throw the idea of coming across as cool out of the window.
