While her leg had ensured her skating days were long over, Roulan could not help herself from joining in the fun at the Skating Party that Tapio had arranged for the students. Even if she was only in attendance as a surveyor - she could at least assist if there were any injuries or students more hesitant to get themselves out on the ice.

Having herself a good day, she was able to forgo the cane she usually had with her and instead just slowly made her way down from the castle, stopping as she reached the gathering and smiling at both colleague and students alike. "Good day, Professor DeVries. Mr. Atreyu-Rehman, Ms. Paton, Ms. Ackerly. Are you all seasoned skaters or first timers?" Or perhaps anywhere in between. Seeing Tapio was busy getting the younger two students prepped to get out on the ice, she moved towards the trays of refreshments - helping herself to a cup of spiced cider as she simply observed.

This was not an activity she engaged in often, the whole ice skating thing, but she liked trying new things and being adventurous and all of those type of things. And while perhaps she had a healthy fear of the ice (she'd been out there enough to know when you fell, you fell hard or y'know... really cold water below), her Gryffindor-ness meant she was still very much willing to ignore that fear in order to instead pursue the thrill of something new... ish.

Making her way down to the group that was gathering, she waved at Aryan and Bryony as they were gathering their skates and instead made her way over towards Aurora who was also in attendance. And looking very much like this was something she was used to doing. Sidling up to her, Vera crossed her arms over her chest - red sweatshirt comfortably keeping the chill away from her and a pair of jeans on her legs with leggings underneath - more for padding than warmth. "You look like this is a typical Saturday afternoon for you. Any tips for out there?"
