That depends on your Arts compatibility, but I'm sure we can attempt lessons later on. As for skating...

[Well, Gnosis makes motions for Vash to come onto the ice. It's thick, easily five or so inches, so it'll effortlessly hold both of their weights and then some.]

If you've never skated before, you should try walking on the ice first.

[And Gnosis is, frankly, giving Vash a wide berth here. Sorry, fall on your face on your own time!]
